Ye Olde Inn

After presenting my baddies, now it is turn to show you my heroes. They come from the Talisman 3rd Edition Boardgame, as I found them to be much better miniatures than the original Heroes in HQ; so these remain unpainted for now.

The Barbarian: the Conan of John Buscema at its best...


The Elf: painted in a less colorist way than the GW one


The Wizard: Gandalf seen by GW


The Dwarf: the Talisman dwarf and Josef Bugman too


Sir Ragnar: the Talisman Paladin


And also, for a variation, although I have never used them... 4 (slightly repainted) miniatures from Dungeons&Dragons Miniatures: Dwarf, Elf, Wizard, Warrior/Hero

I recognise that Johnny McHooters guy at the top. Isn't he from Phoenix' forum?

Like your monsters, you've done a fantastic paint job on those. I'm not keen on any of the dwarfs though. Oh, the painting is great on them, I've just never seen a dwarf miniature that I like beside the HeroQuest dwarf. Most the the GW dwarfs just end up looking like goofy munchkins in my eyes.

I'll show another dwarf pic soon that may have you change your mind...

It took a long because I was on my annual leave but, as promised, here is my Dwarf King: a wonderful miniature sculpted by Juan Diaz, that I am using both for Heroquest and Talisman. Hope you like it.

Now there's a Dwarf I like! Great painting!

Out of curiosity (and deprivation), what board are you photographing on? Looks similar to a HeroQuest board, but that room is clearly larger. A collection of modular tiles?

It is the standard Heroquest board. The furniture hides the separation between rooms.

Ah, I see it now.

One new post in this thread, as I have finished painting this beatiful Reaper mini to be used as "Princess" to be rescued in the Agis'Inn Classic Contest quest where Princess Theresa appears.







I should have spent more time with the layering

Very HOT chick. I approve of showing some T&A. But will you not paint your furniture?!?
you've done such an amazing job on the minis now the fireplace needs it...

As for the barb - he looks like he has man boobies. Maybe his nips need to be browner.

You are right. THe furniture is second on my To-Do list
