my Heroquest painted figures

[Goblin-King]

Nice job on the warlock! His clothes especially turned out great!
The skulls... not so great... A couple of suggestions:

* Paint the skulls light brown around the edges and blend to white towards the middle. Kinda like you did with his muscles.
* Paint brown stripes from the teeth towards the nose(s).
* Paint his nose (or nosehole or whatever) black like his eyes.
*Also consider painting the teeth the same color as the skull itself and maybe redo the black in the teeth with brown.
* Let him have white rings around the black in his eyes, but paint a brown line under his eyes. It's kinda shaped in a way that suggests to paint there.

As for his helmet... NOW it's definitly cracks!
How about painting fake highlights along the bottom of all the black cracks? If you have a steady hand this would make the helmet look spectacular!

I can do something about the eyes or the nose maybe but I'm not touching the teeth. They're not very good but I don't want to do anything there, I'm afraid I'll mess the whole thing up. Plus I think that in the pic they actually are whiter than the face so I'm sticking with it.

As for the helmet, I'm not going back there man! I was a nightmare. God knows (if anyone) how many times I repainted red over some 'cracks' that went horribly wrong. I'm sorry but we're going to have to live with that helmet as it is

You could simply wash the skulls with a black or brown wash. Just apply it only to the skulls, and it will accentuate the deep lines better.

Here's a few new miniatures I've completed. I think they are far better than the previous ones I've shown you.

Orc


The Dwarf


and a Chaos Warrior with the colours shown on the box side

[Goblin-King]

The improvements are obvious!
Keep posting! I love watching how other people paint their minis!
