I just got the HeroQuest set as a Christmas gift, so this guide series has been really helpful
The perfect Christmas gift!
I bought the full set as a post-Xmas gfift to myself xD
What a great gift! I got the original Heroquest for Christmas in 1989!
I got this for Christmas in 1989 or 90. Still have a handful of the original minis and furniture pieces 😁
I've good memories of spending hours and hours playing this game 😁
Have fun!
I'm currently reliving my past and introducing my kids to hero quest. I'd like to say a huge thank you for your videos as they have helped us to start painting the figures.
Glad to help!
I love how beginner friendly these tutorials are while still being advanced enough that experienced painters can still enjoy and enjoy them, it’s great to get new people into the hobby
Nice to see some classic miniatures like zombies and mummies which we don't see very often in Warhammer, and the back to basics approach I'm sure will be extremely useful for people wanting to get models like this painted up fast for tabletop games or D&D/Pathfinder sessions!
The best thing about HeroQuest, is watching Midwinter Minis painting the pieces!
this is one of my favorite comfort channels, i'm fighting a virus right now so obviously I can't paint my models, but i can still experience the joy of the process through these videos. Thanks guy!
Hope you feel better soon!
"hey jim"
"yeah ted?"
"why are your zombies wearing designer jeans?"
"I prefer to call them 'Deadum Jeans'"
Great video, me and my son had a great time painting the furniture and we'll be doing the rest soon!
the best thing about hero quest, is the painting!
Even if this series doesn’t get as many views as other videos, I absolutely love this series. There is just something very comforting about it, and it doesn’t hurt that I recognized a lot of miniatures I bought had some HeroQuest skeletons in it from them too. (Had about a fifth of a HeroQuest minis and a Battle Master Orge.)
Love your easy to follow painting guides!
good job , thx for video👍
Braaains... Good guide! I'm also impressed by those TTCombat paints, they appear to be really quite good.
Just in time!!!😃 I finished the skeletons of my '89 MB base box just a few days ago and now I'm happy to go on with the next batch. The box was a Christmas gift in 2022 from a HeroQuest veteran who owned two boxes.
Great tutorials! 👍 I also take this series as a re-entry to mini painting and looking forward to the next part. Happy painting everybody 🖌
Really Looking forward to you painting more pieces. Thanks for the great videos.
They look great for relatively low work. I went an even faster & simpler route for mine which I fine works great for gaming. While I gave all the heroes a "full" tabletop standard paint (base, shade, highlight, etc), I went mono-color for the monsters. Just a prime, followed by a mono-color coat of contrast paint (green for orcs & goblins, a bone color for skeletons & zombies, etc), and a drybrush with a light contrast. Very quick -- I was able to do all the monsters basically in a day. On the board, the heroes pop nicely and the monsters are distinguishable without drawing too much attention away. I find it facilitates play better than having fully painted multi-colored models for everything -- but go with what you like best!
(I also applied the same approach to my War of the Ring board game minis, with equally pleasing results.)
There is something special about this channel. My 4 year old and 6 year old watched the whole video entranced and then wanted to watch the other one about the skeletons. Magic
When kids and pets get entertained, the quality of production is top notch.
they look cool!
I snagged a (mostly complete) D&D board game from 2003 at a charity shop recently, and this series has been pretty helpful with getting those minis painted! Cheers, Guy and Hatty!
i- i dont even KNOW what heroquest is, and I watched this video fully, just because its so amazing seeing ur skill guy. ur the best. (btw I love the ring on ur thumb, super stylist)
Can you PLEASE finish the second edition space marine squads! I really wanna see how your gonna paint that blood angels Sargent!
Excellent new painter guide. relatively easy and fun.
Cool as always 👍
Great job, as usual! I'm probably going to use at least part of this for my Descent mobs. I usually tend to spend waaay to much time on my minis, having a set "protocol" as this will probably help me in keeping it simple and straightforward (and possibly "done" instead of constantly "in progress")
The best thing about hero quest are these videos about how to paint the minis
I was waiting for this next part !!! I received Heroquest for Christmas and I paint my first minis thanks to your videos. I did all the furniture and the skeletons, and was hopping for the next part. Painting minis is so fun and I'm so proud of what I'm achieving. Thank you very much for this series ! 😊😊😊
That is awesome!
I dig the Halloweeny remixed version of the Alien theme
Great tutorial again! Thanks for these 🙌🏻
Fun vid, thanks!
The original Hero Quest was what got me into ttrpgs waaaay back in the 90s. Its become a family tradition once again with the rerelease and we all meet up at my parents place to play and defeat Zardog, our name for the bbeg 😊
It has been driving me crazy for ages. Neil Gaiman. Phew.
Fun episode. Keep up the good work.
Yes!! More HeroQuest content please!!
Even though i dont have this game(yet) i have plenty of zombies that could use this treatment. Thanks!
The only thing I'd do differently is add a spot of white to the eye sockets of the mummies and then a bright ink. Red malevolent eyes!
I want to see a video of guy peeling all the layers of paint off his pallet
Loved it, still infuriating that a colour blind man is a much much better painter than me 😂 overdue a Hatti video aswell I reckon😁
i alway realize that i spend a little too much time withh details and stuff on my models and that your quicker methods really get the same results, i should make it easier on myself :D but its tough for me, i trained myself to do more work then necesary
Thank you, 🙏 ❤. I'm ready!
The world needs more zombies in denim.
Ya a new heroquest video. Been a long day plowing and I need something to watch
I'm exited to paint my Legions Imperialis minis. :)
these zombies look like they're after me because they heard I wash my jeans
Idk man.... warm-fleshed zombies wearing jeans wouldn't have been what I'd have gone for at all
Cool video, hope y’all are doing great:)
Thanks
You're so welcome!
Happy to see a boxset based speedpainting video again! Do you plan to do the contents like you did with your blackstone series? I loved that one.
This is gon be great for my zombicide. Cheers guy :)
Also who else laughed at old beaten wood??
Glad you found it useful!
Guy replied to my comment- I’m famous now 😮
@@Mosaic117 Are you "THAT" Betterfella? The one replied to in the comments section of a Midwinter Minis' video?!! Cool! 😎👍
Given that Heroquest often gives you multiples of the same model as the entirety of that monster type (only one sculpt of zombie in the box, for example), it can be advantageous to give slight variations in color to make them seem less uniform. Different shade of skin, hair, or clothing for example.
Ideally I would go an off black for the mummy flesh to give them a gnarly, grisly, grotesque Egyptian mummy vibe.
So for the dark wash, we need some... black? BLACK? Black! Like the endless void between the stars! BLACK! I'm a fly, trapped in a bottle of shadows! *BLACK!*
Your palette is now just a round thing. All the paint recesses have been filled in 😅
Can you paint some X-wing minis next? I was wondering if someone could do something creative with them and I think you are just the guy.
I think I saw a hero quest box t one of my local game stores
"beaten wood" - tee hee
We've all been there
Bad @@MidwinterMinis! XD
Always enjoy your videos, even the Bolt Action one. I also get that these are game pieces rather than wargaming armies, but I imagine that the 3 foot rule still applies. It is ashame that the camera doesn't do the final paint job justice with the way the colour blends. But I must say your choice of skin colour makes the zombies and mummies look really healthy. I practiced on a zombie once and used green and blue as an under colour, especially in recesses and joints. I then painted on an off white over the top really watered down. It gave a necrotic bruised look to the model. Just saying.
Hi Guy, what varnish do you use? I've been noticing some of my models starting to lose a touch of paint here and there, but I'm a little intimidated by brush-on varnishes.
Think I'll paint mine as these videos come out. Help break up painting all my gitz
The best thing about Heroquest is...
@MidwinterMinis do you thin down your varnish when airbrushing?
Would you recommend the way you've painted these in this video, over the slapchop method for a beginner?
HEROQUEST!
Hell yes
FIRST
@@MidwinterMinis THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OF MY TIME ON TH-cam
❤
do you know any glass display cases for cheap
Do you have a video painting the heroes?
Any chance you could make a video about building an ork trukk from scratch ? Need like 6 for my army
I'm loving the evolution of Guy's pallet as the little cups slowly get filled with layers of paint and grey primer over the top. I feel like if he cut it in half, you'd be able to see all the layers of paint like sedimentary rock layers!
That same process happens in car factory paint booths or auto body shop paint booths and the chips are called Fordite or Detroit Agate and you can get some really cool looks from that
I sometimeswonder why we all get so fussy about neatly painted models. If you can have a fully painted army or boxed game with some simple steps, that’s way better than pushing grey plastic around.
Any advice on starting your own mini painting Channel
Guy, I have to ask. I see you using TT Combat paints a lot these days, and that’s a pretty obscure brand of paint. I’m pretty sure you have access to a lot of different brands (I know Hattie brought a lot of Citadel with her, but I know you don’t want to use just Citadel in your videos). What are the properties of TT Combat paints that you like for those basic colors? Also, are they gel-based acrylics like WarColours or am I remembering that wrong from when you introduced them about about a year ago?
Great question! The TTCombat paints just seem to be a really good "best all rounder" when it comes to colour choice, opacity, and affordability! :)
@@MidwinterMinis Thanks, Guy!
Another question. Guy, when are you going to start playing HeroQuest with the twins? I recently sat my 16 and 10 yr old boys down to play on the weekends and we’ve been enjoying it. It’s a simple intro game into the hobby.
Oh, I definitely will! They love looking at all the minis, but they're only 2 and a half, still too young to get their head around board games. Hopefully in the future! :)
Impressed as I am by the OP's talent, it makes me excited to learn to play the various games involved and meet fellow games--but I'm talking about irl or using Zoom.
*zombie vest
Heroquest zombies wear jeans? Who woulda guessed..
I converted a deamonhost for 40k out of the OG mummies
