@@olebrogger Wish you good luck, hope you will paint and show also other factions. It is nice inspiration for someone like me starting with painting. Even if you do not paint other factions, please make video with the figures to get inspiration about colours options.
I Really like how you did necropolis! Archon made a new campaign with pledges and all, I will be getting all of them, even stronghold and cove. 2 of my favourite factions (cove is unofficial) Are you danish? :D
Fantastic, I love this! This game was my childhood, and seeing it have such a big legacy is very cool. I very much liked that they didn't "modernize" the designs TOO much, but went with the more classic, "fairy-tale"/"storybook"-esque designs. The later games, like Heroes 5-7 went with more exaggerated designs with big shoulderpads and lots of spikes and jewels and details everywhere, more like Warcraft or Warhammer, which I just didn't think matched the feel of Heroes. I hope they preserve this, slightly more down-to-earth, 80s DnD-inspired look for their supposedly upcoming tabletop skirmish game too. But I'm rambling. The paintjob was spot on, and it makes me feel a little less intimidated to get into miniature painting myself, so thanks!
Thanks 😀, this Board Game is just so complete, and perfectly made, and i have played the computer game since it came out, also the new versions. I saw some 3rd party mods for homm7 is bringing the game back to its roots. Tower faction is brought back and some other cool stuff too😀 if you start to paint miniatures, have a go on the speedpaints, it is easy to get a good result😀
Unfortunately, i don't own the game my self. It is my friend who owns it and he wants to paint some factions himself. I wont be able to cover the painting of Castle faction. But i have two other factions coming up soon. How ever, I am considering buying the core game my self to get the starting factions and make videos of them too :-)
@@optimax22 I got 2 factions from my friend. getting ready to paint them next week. i can promise at least one video in October :-) and one in November
Been watching you for a while now, and you will get a subscription today :) It was awesome to see you paint the Heroes 3 minis, and I need to make a shopping list for the same paints for my Heroes 3 minis, I also got them from Kickstater haha :)
Nice painting. Hope there will be 2 version, prepainted as I have no idea/patience to paint. For me, as not interested in painting, unpainted would feel like unfinished product.
Great video. I am new to this, so if possible on your next faction on one of the units could you show how you prime the mini to where they are before you paint them?
Yeah please do, there are few good videos of painting these amazing minis. How have they held up with a bit of play? Is the plastic up to the challenge and not too soft?
Edit: For anyone wondering, I made a list below of the paints used. I love the video. Makes me want to start painting mine when they arrive next year. Would you be able to please, do the other 2 factions from the base set AND can you put a list of paints and washes you used for this video and did you use primer or something on the figurines before starting ?(or at least this if you won't do the others) So I know what to order in the future? Thank you. For the Necropolis, you didn't mention the brown and dark grey you used on the upper parts... and the brown used for road and "small parts" and for Tamika's cloak.. I didn't understand what 6 color set was used. Gravelord Grey Boney Spikes Uniform Grey Pallid Bone Gun Metal Hive Dweller Purple Hardened Leather Mithril Dark Tone Weapon Bronze Brainmatter beige Runic Grey Ogre Clay Fire Drake Noble Skin Blood Red Frost Blue Grim Black Nuclear Sunrise Hardened Leather Inner Light Golden Armor Slaughter Red Brigadine Brown White Lightest blue Satchel Brown Bony Matter Deep Grey Dark Tone Wash
Thank you. I have one more Faction coming up in October and i can promise it will be from the base set :-) In the next video i will show how i prime them. Mostly I use speed paints from The Army Painter. and then i use a few colors from The Army Painter Fanatic War paints. The washes was also from the Army painter. and the one i used the most over metallic paints was the the one called Dark Tone. i will put a link to To The Army Painter in the description :-)
@@olebrogger Thank you. I'll try to tally up the paints you used and leave them here. But for the next vid if you can leave like a Bob Ross style list at the beginning of the video.. or in description with the exact colors, that would be great. I want to buy more or less the exact ones. And seeing a few from this video, they are spread through multiple Sets... and buying separately is cheaper. Much appreciated! Edit: For the Necropolis, you didn't mention the brown and dark grey you used on the upper parts... and the brown used for road and "small parts"
Hello, I'm actually new to speedpaints because I'm not a fan of this watercolour-esque finish, but might give it a try. How did you primed your miniatures? Looks like a some drybrushing over the primer but I might be wrong. Thanks in advance!
when you drybrush the white on over the zenithal, does it leave that chalky look that drybrushing causes under the speed paint? Hard to tell in the video - curious your thoughts having them in person
Vampire lord sleeves are painted wrong. It would be cool to use fluorescent paint for the ghost dragon to make him glow in the dark, maybe also the wraith's bones.
I know, and only the edges should be orange. i thought about putting some fluorescent blue into the mix after I was done painting them, but i already send them to my friend, so i cant remake them.
I bought HOMM3 board game. Figures were great, but dull. I started to look painting videos and now I have paints, some practice figures. I need to practice before I start to paint my HOMM3 figures, but when I do, I will come back and watch all your videos of painting them first.
I use Army Painter Speedpaints, and Fanatic Acrylic paints. I use Airbrush to Prime them in black and made a Zinithal Highlight with grey. Used a white to dry brush before i started to paint them with colors. You can buy their paints and brushes directly from their own store or at a local dealership thearmypainter.com/collections
Well done painting :). Looking forward for the upcoming videos with a new fraction you paint :) How much time you spend for necropilis painting in total :)?
@@olebrogger wel that says it, ubisoft, lol. homm3 is made by 3do not ubisoft and only 3do can honor homm3 . none of the models you showed looked like the ingame units of homm3
Vamps also CAN'T drain Elementals, Golems and Gargs (which are not mechanical - just made of stone, obsidian, iron, gold, diamonds, steel) (; one does not simply make a mistake about HoMM3... for the inquisition is behind you p.s. you made the vamp ... orange?! no, nonono, NO, NOPE!
You are totally right about elemental, i forgot to mention them, my bad🥺 but about the Vamps i made the color match as close to the Vampire Lords from the computer game as as i could. In irl the color is a bit darker and closer to red, the highlights are in an orange tone almost yellow, and it is very difficult to catch the correct colors on video. So i think i got as close as possible 😀
Let's just agree to settle with "constructs and elementals". 😅 So the orange is a problem, but the coloured pauldrons of the lich aren't? 😜 Personally, I feel like the orangy-colour chosen for the vampire lords fit quite nicely. @olebrogger: I was almost going to shout at you for forgetting the base rims, but you resonably saved them for last. Also, as far as I know, the hero miniatures aren't supposed to literally depict Sandro and Tamika, but rather generic heroes of might and magic (much the same as the video game does). I still need to paint mine, but I think I'll try to match the paint scheme to the board game material (unit cards etc.) rather than the game graphics. Just to make it a bit easier for non-HoM&M3 players. 😄 Edit: @olebrogger: By the way, the power lich's staff acutally does glow red when they fire their death cloud. So basically you've done it right.
@@tadasrimkus3545 Oh, I get it now. How did I even miss that the first time? 😜 Of course, only the rim/edge (?) of the sleeve should be orange, the rest should be black.
Delightful, Awesome!!
Many thanks!
I hope you get to paint the other factions as well, would make an awesome painting series :)
I hope so too! I think i can paint Tower or Rampart or if im lucky maybe both 😀

I would sure like to watch this too!

Archon made a new campaign with pledges and all, I will be getting all of them, even stronghold and cove. 2 of my favourite factions (cove is unofficial)
Are you danish? :D
No waaaay! My man is into the best franchise! This is so cool :)
Yep i just love this😀
I take off my hat. I'm currently in the process of painting the miniatures of heroes! Thanks for the inspiration!
You are welcome 😀 thanks for watching 😀

"Amazing Necropolis paint job! If possible, please paint more factions-you're the only one showing how on youtube.👍
Thank you :-) i have two more factions coming up :-)
@@olebrogger I'll definitely stay tuned!😊
@@optimax22 I got 2 factions from my friend. getting ready to paint them next week. i can promise at least one video in October :-) and one in November
grate job! congrats from Mallorca, Spain!
Thank you😀 Spain is a wonderful country ❤️
They look amazing - the game was tempting just for the mini's.
Thanks :-) yeah i am considering buying some of the factions just to get the minis. but i would be very expensive minis :-)
Great video! nice paintjob👍👍
Thank you very much!❤️
Super ! J'espère voir des tutos peinture pour les autres factions
Thank you, The game is not mine, but i hope to paint at least one more faction, maybe two :-)
cool painting i love speedpaints i want more ;) painting heroes :D:D nice godd job :)
Thank you❤️ I am going to paint at least one Maybe two more factions😃

Thank you :-) i have not heard that they should come prepainted. but maybe. i have seen a prepainted terrain. So maybe it is posible in the future
Great video. I am new to this, so if possible on your next faction on one of the units could you show how you prime the mini to where they are before you paint them?
Yes I can, i have it filmed already😀
Please update more faction :p
Working on it :-)
Yeah please do, there are few good videos of painting these amazing minis. How have they held up with a bit of play? Is the plastic up to the challenge and not too soft?
I also can be so kind and allow you to paint all my fractions 😀
I would love to do that, but i only have one problem and that is time :-) but it is such an honor that you like my work and you ask :-)
You are a great painter and the results are awesome. But the view from camera is even more pixelated than the original game
Thank you so much 😀 I record in 4K but it is big challenge to maintain focus on small miniatures.
Thoughts on matching the wights eyes to the vampires to match their animation?
Interesting suggestion. I haven't thought of that :-)
Edit: For anyone wondering, I made a list below of the paints used.
I love the video. Makes me want to start painting mine when they arrive next year.

Hello, I'm actually new to speedpaints because I'm not a fan of this watercolour-esque finish, but might give it a try. How did you primed your miniatures? Looks like a some drybrushing over the primer but I might be wrong. Thanks in advance!
Go for it! I prime them black, give them a zenithal highlight with a light grey from above and finish it off with a white drybrush😀
when you drybrush the white on over the zenithal, does it leave that chalky look that drybrushing causes under the speed paint? Hard to tell in the video - curious your thoughts having them in person
If you get a chalky look, you have too much paint on the brush. The drybrush should end up in a smooth transition from white to black😀
Vampire lord sleeves are painted wrong. It would be cool to use fluorescent paint for the ghost dragon to make him glow in the dark, maybe also the wraith's bones.
I know, and only the edges should be orange. i thought about putting some fluorescent blue into the mix after I was done painting them, but i already send them to my friend, so i cant remake them.

Could you tell me, what kind of equipment you use? And where you bought the colors? I would love to make my figurines also this great.

Thank you 😃Yes I am using wet palette for acrylic Paints and a fidget popper for speed paints
Well done painting :). Looking forward for the upcoming videos with a new fraction you paint :)
How much time you spend for necropilis painting in total :)?
Thank you😃I think i spend 5-7 hours in total but worked on them over 3 days 😃
will you do Haven faction??
I think it will be Tower or Rampart
The results look fantastic, would love to see some more factions!
Thanks😀More to come!
10:19 actually its staff does blinks the red when attacking.
You are right :-) i also think i looks way better painting it red and not black :-)
to be honest this set of necro 3d prints a very disapointing.. tiny furninates creater makes homm3 units 99% exactly as the game it got...
It is not 3d Printed. It is the original miniatures from HOMM3 The board game
@@olebrogger even than if they wanted to replicate homm3 they prety mutch failed...
@@morgorth3242 I dont agree, I think they did an amazing job making all these miniatures. All models where validated and approved by Ubisoft.
