Thanks very much fellas.
No idea on how much time.
Most of this was done as part of a Tale of painters.
I was painting four different armies at the same time so each additional unit represents about a week of spare time. Faster than you think ... it is quite a simple scheme.
The green is Camo Green ... couple of very thin coats and then whilst the second coat is still wet I splodge on some goblin green, snot green, Dark angel green, scorched brown ... all very thin washes. I really blob it on without worring about it too much ... It all mixes and blends together on the mini I work so wet and so fast. The whole base green on a a whole unit only takes a few minutes and I am off to a cracking start. (see very first picture on thread).

Could have/should have been braver with the conversions ... but could not bring myself to hack these up. The one arm swap I did was because I picked him up cheap missing an arm.

I had such trouble just finding one

It was the only arm I had that was the right size.
The hero quest community would be having heart attacks! Have you seen the price that set goes for these days?
It really works well.
Looked like the Battlemasters Ogre to me. Where they the same? We didn't get the Heroquest Ogre expansion in the states.

Yeah what did they do with Heroquest in the states? They went considerably off cannon!

My understanding is that it was mostly just renaming some characters and the bizarre supplement releases of altering between the US and Europe. Maybe I'm wrong on that though.

So I painted up some Beastmen ... with Nurgle bases.
Some character types:
and the troops:
These really are not bad as plastic goes:
... and side by side with the classic metal:
I mean don't get me wrong I will take the metal every time but the Beastmen plastic kind of work with all mixed in together.
