The bases are shamelessly pilfered from Brush Stroke on Facebook. The bases are cut, beveled, and cut at with a hobby knife. The idea is to give it a rough stone feel, but not distract from everything else too much

I use Citadel colours, all drybrushed. Here is the scheme:

Mechanicus Standard Grey
Administratum Grey
Karak Stone (Very light drybrush)

Tonight's bit is another 8 zombies....

Ok so i guess i'm the only one working on Hq stuff still... some more GS minis and some other things. wanted some new heros and extra dice, game board , furniture , cards ah who am i kidding i wanted it all . so slopping it on and this is where i'm at so far. i needed new heros for a dopple style quest. in between moving out of my house and my wife leaving and getting ready to sell my home. The 1 cat thats still alive and i ,moved into the hallowed tomb of, mom and dads basement. Brought all of my HQ stuff and thats about it with me the rest is all going into a dumpster.... tear drop " Mortal Kombat"

not great but not dog feces trying to make a more evil looking hero set not too evil, incase i want to give this GS to someone "brother maybe".BIG maybe.
And korvak a poisonmancer and some other baddies, soulstealer, beast-men, couple CW's and like a wraith/ ghost thing.
gotta paint some still on um but getting there..

No, I just internalise it all. i.e. I dream about painting minis or think about planning storylines for quests and do nothing about anything :lol:

I think once one of my groups have finished KK and have started RotWL, I'll get my act together and put pen to paper. As for mini's, I'm not sure I'll ever do anything other than acquiring more to become those specific characters / monsters.

I'm finally getting around to this. Primed the first ones so I'll start painting today. I went looking for Simple Green and found that there's several products. Do you get the container of All-Purpose Cleaner as opposed to a squeeze bottle of Indoor Cleaner, Bathroom Cleaner or Outdoor Cleaner?

Isopropyl alcohol aka rubbing alcohol. Use that and you'll be good. I got Simple Green for cleaning the floor and when I compared the 2 the ispropyl alcohol was better. When you scrub them use a firm bristled brush and gloves for your hands. Make sure to have ventilation when doing it and don't let water interact with the alcohol or it won't remove any of the paint. Use the alcohol, trust me. Put them in some kind of sealed container with enough alcohol to submerge them let and let it sit for a while. I let mine soak overnight and the vast majority comes right off with minimal effort. The nooks and crannies take a bit to get clean though. Depending on your sphincters strength you could be at it a while if you want it really clean.

Yup, righto. For the moment it had been recommended for brush care but I have some mini's coming which I'd imagine I'll want to strip back too. This stiff is fine for the HQ plastic pieces, other GW non-metal mini's as well as Thantos' and billdask's? Should that stuff be just as readily available?

I have picked up a container of orange scented Simple Green (so it's orange, not green) All Purpose Cleaner. It says it's a concentrate and is to be mixed 1:1 with water for heavy duty use. Is this how you guys use it or do you use it undiluted? I could only find a small spray bottle for isopropyl alcohol which I picked up too to try but I can use it to clean my 11 year old keyboard

Hi all. I am working on many projects hero quest related.

I am swapping between them a lot and so haven't had time to actually write about them.

One project I have completed is a full new custom set of equipment cards with (weapons, armor, equipment and artifacts) which makes use of the multi coloured hero quest dice, dual wielding, and a number of other things . I will try to post some pics and give examples.

Today I was cutting metal to make a fully modular hero quest board that iallows for magnetic heroes and tiles and monsters. I have finished 5 rooms off the original board and made the squares 30mm instead of 20mm and mounted them on a thin nonslip rubber. They feel amazing and look great.

Again I will try to take photos and post them.

Thirdly I am in the process of painting all my minis.

I think I may end up starting 3 seperate threads for the 3 different projects.
