Well, I'm trying to make a paladin character type for HeroQuest. I'm planning on making it like 3-5 quest chain to become one so that way its not too easy. lol
Here is what I have so far. Its a Imperial Champion from the Battle Master game. I bought 3 of them off Ebay, without their steeds, for $4.00. lol
The one on the left is what I'm working on so I can put a sword in/on the gauntlet to make him look like's ready for some close quarters. I've burnt a hole in the hand using a straightened paper clip and heating it up. Worked pretty well.

4 classic coloured skeletons.
2 chaos warriors, I tried the red eyes thing I saw somewhere, could be better but I'm happy with it.
and 4 orc archers from Warhammer Quest.


Wow. The paint job is awesome. Great tones and shades.

Thanks everyone!
@knightkrawler They are truly the whitest skeletons I've painted. Thought I'd try the white paint for their bones, can't say I don't like it. Seems very "clean" though.

As I said, not unrealistic in itself...
I think bones bleached from the sun look this white.

Started on my Skaven clanrats today. Only removed them from the sprue, cleaned mold lines, painted the eyes red and drybrushed some metal and bronze on the armour parts. Nothing more so far. Gonna paint these really simple, basic colours, then dip them. I do want to make all the bases with milliput, so that'll take some work, but once you start it's pretty easy and fast when you have seperate bases. Just takes time for the milliput to harden, then paint those black, then drybrush em. Next weekend I won't have time to contunie, so this will be another project that'll take weeks... But at least it's 20 rats in one go.
Check out my YouTube channel Boardgame Heaven, and drop me a sub please!

Not done anymore to the exchange mini, as have had a side project of steampunk ghostbuster ecto goggles on the go too.
They are now done so should get the exchange mini finished this week all being well, unless I'm distracted by more pressing matters again.

I'd like to see how this turns out as I have some of these myself and I'd resigned them to the 'these aren't any use' pile.

I think the bottom half of the lance also needs to come off and also the legs should be replaced with something with a less 'straddled' look I think, though that might be difficult as there's like some kind of cape on the back. But like I said I'm interested to see what you come up with.
