This video series has been incredibly helpful as I've been painting up my heroquest set, and has made me a much better painter. Thanks so much for the excellent presentation, showing all thr colors, editing things down, etc - I know it's a lot of work and it makes this so much more usable.
Hey man, just recently picked up a copy of HeroQuest, and was worried if I was gonna like it or not, but after playing the first quest, I immediately ordered all available expansions. Haha. Cant wait for The Mage of the Mirror. Anyway, I just started painting the heroes, (got the barbarian finished) and was wondering if I wanted to go with gold, silver, or a copper for the dwarves armor, and stumbled upon your channel and decided on gold. Love your work, man. And don't ever apologize for going on tangents. I do it all the time. I can talk to people about board games and miniature painting for hours. Unfortunately almost nobody I associate with know what the hell I'm talking about. 😅
Hahahahaha. Dude I am in the same boat. I have one friend who is into the hobby like I am, other than that no one. I greatly appreciate the support and watching the channel. Thank you for leaving a comment as well.
@@nerdknights1122 Definitely, man. You put out awesome content. And yeah, it sucks sometimes because this is one of those hobbies where it pays to have others around you who have been in it for years, to teach you all kinds of techniques. Outside of that, you're learning on your own, which I'm fine with. I'm ine of those, "learn by doing," people anyway, but I've also only been at it for about 4 months now, and without YT, and people like you, I'd have a bunch of mass produced looking minis on my table. Haha. I actually picked up the Seraphim Sepia on Retributor Armour to give that gold more punch, and from there practiced using colored shades like, Drakenhof Nightshade over Leadbelcher to make armor take on the color properties of that shade, because sometimes you want armor with that blue, green, or red tint. Also found a good rust effect by dabbing a bit of Typhus Corrosion on, then after that dries, wet blending some Dry Rust and Thondia Brown, and it just gives it that rough, rusty corrosion look which I used on a lot of the zombies swords from Heroquest, and I'm friggin blabbing. Anyway. I appreciate the response! Haha.
@@riot_of_flowers725 Dude, it sounds like you're more than 4 months in. When I was 4 months in my mini's looked like absolute trash garbage. Those are some good techniques that I still use to this day! Keep going and you'll never stop on the hobby. I absolutely love it and wish I could make a living out of it.

Thank you Amanda for watching and leaving a comment. You and the other followers are the reason I do these videos. Paint on!
Awesome tutorial again. Doing this dwarf at the weekend. So looking forward to it! 👍👍
Thank you Darren for watching the episode and leaving a comment.
Another amazing tutorial. I just finished painting mine and I love it! Thanks for the guide!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!
Nice. Gives a good idea of the color scheme. I dont have the exact colors like you.
Doesn't need to be exact but something close. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
You're not a nerd - you're a person who has developed skills to enhance a game that you love. Great skills. Thanks for sharing.
Hey TK.
Thank you for the support. I appreciate it greatly. Can't thank you enough.
What's wrong with being a nerd?

Thanks for sharing, this has given me some ideas for painting my dwarf.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! Appreciate the support.
Hi NK.
He look very nice.!!
Cant wait to get the game.
I just have to complete painting the other game first.
Great work.!
Thanks NV
I am hoping to get Descent done soon. The last mini is posing a problem.
@@nerdknights1122 That doesn't sound good. What's that problem.😊
@@Northern_Viking Just the size of the mini. Got a lot of work done on it yesterday. Looking good for a Friday or Saturday release this week.
yay
Just for you Cowabunga. Thank you for watching!
Looks like you're using very thinned Paint, right?
Hey Foxx
I typically do one brush full of water to one brush full of paint on a wet pallet for my consistency.
@@nerdknights1122 looks almost like you're using a contrast Paint😃
@@TheFoxx82 in some sections of the video it for sure does. I prefer two thin coats vs one thick coat of paint.
If you don't have any paints from Games workshop good for you and I suggest you DON'T buy any of their disgustingly priced shit paint.
What can I say? I am a sucker for GW paints. Got sucked in at an early age.
