Hero Crusade!

clownshoe · Apr 6, 2014

So i loved these board games back in the day, Hero quest and Space Crusade! I have a complete version of the original SC and a few hero quest figures. I am roughly 60% done with painting the SC minis, Orks, Marines and Androids finished so far. The hero quest figures are a WIP. Done a zombie, a skellybob and a fimir - pics below

Nice work, the zombie especially looks rather tasty, great job on the blood

I agree, love them all but the Zombie is best.

Great blood effect on that zoombie! Keep it up!

Another vote for the blood on that zombie's cleaver, excellent!

Ah cheers chaps - I am addicted to the blood effect currently, although it doesnt sit too well with my bright coloured paint style really. Tamiya clear red and black ink is addictive!

Gotta love those Hero Quest models - your ones are well executed 8-)

. I recently was lucky enough to inherit a box of Advanced Quest from Cheetor so it's on the bucket list of projects now. That Zombie model is probably my favorite sculpt in the whole set. It has aged very well. I assume it's a Jes Goodwin? Any of you grognards know for sure?

Yea i have to agree with you Otto - the zombie was pleasant to paint, i think the mummy is a decent model too. The gargoyle is awful. Really awful.

Yeah the mummy comes in a close second. I dare say the mummy is a better match to Warhammer armies 3rd edition than the ones they made around 4th edition (the Gary Morley ones). I think I might actually use the Gargoyle for giggles as an amusing Bloodthirster some day because he makes me smile so when I see his aerobics style battle pose. He has all the intimidation value of a children's pantomime villain

The zombie is cool, but second to your avatar. I flinched to swipe at it and then I became mesmerized for too long really.

Poor old Verag, you'll hurt his feelings :mrgreen:

I 'see where you're coming from I guess (the crucifixion pose)...I still can't help but find him impressive though.

Rather than starting another thread ill stick these in here. I have a load of these mm65 Marauder Flagellants, aly Mor sculpts, really nice models. With the current blood and gore addiction i painted some of these guys up. I figure these religious nutcases are bound to be covered in the red stuff! - let me know what you think - all c&c gratefully recieved.

Magos Explorator · Apr 12, 2014

They looks great - fairly (physically and mentally) unhealthy. My favourite is the topless guy. He looks so stressed out.

clownshoe · May 16, 2014

Neither hero or crusade - latest stuff i have been working on.
Iron Hands Space marine army.
I have been assembling painting these some time now, trying to slot in various older figures with newer stuff, the Iron Father is a forgeworld model, but there is some old lead in there too - and more to come. Thought i would share with you guys.

C&C always welcome!

theottovonbismark · May 17, 2014

They are cool. You should pop a thread on showroom with some more detail shots for them. The limited number of dark colours makes them feel very sinister. You can really see the difference in character between the old models and the newer ones. Some of the old RT SM with bionics would look really great if you can get your hands on some to add to this force.

clownshoe · Jun 15, 2014

Finished this chap last night after England dissapointed me... Think i will do the other "heroquest heroes" over the next few days. What do you guys think of the Elf?

clownshoe · Jun 17, 2014

Been hitting the paint pots quite hard over the last week or so - here are some Snotling bases i finished. I went for 6 per base. Each base will have just 1 of the modern plastic snots, all the others are metal ones.

clownshoe · Jul 6, 2014

Well i finished the main cast after some time! - The mage was painted by a blind amputee, then stripped by edward scissorhands hence the lack of facial detail. Its an awful model in my opinion anyway.
All together now say cheese.

clownshoe · Aug 9, 2014

Thought i would get demonic today, so i painted some Horrors of Tzeentch, these are mixed models, i think the larger one is a newer cast, all are metal. Opted for pink! duh. C&C gratefully received!

Captain Crooks · Aug 10, 2014

I love Tzeentch horrors :grin:

I always wanted to get my hands on some. I think the pink looks great, are you planning some blue ones too?

I love everything you have going on in this thread actually, I'm very fond of Heroquest and you've done those pieces proud :grin:

Hero Crusade!
