What are you working on today?

Sounds like a fun project! Looking forward to updates.

I love the way how every tile remake introduces bigger rooms. I think the small rooms were one of the major drawbacks in the original.

I'm working on the Christmas exchange. Pulling my hair out trying to practice highlighting. I really struggle watering down the paint. It's either to thick or it doesn't want to go on to the model. Also trying to find a video that shows highlighting. It looks so much easier on modern models with plenty of detail. How do people highlight a heroquest orcs arms with virtually no muscle.

I'm working on using my minis to recreate the prologues to the game, in the manual and the PC intro, and edit it into a movie, just to see if I can.

I actually started it yesterday but I started building a Heater Shield that I plan on putting my family crest on. I’ll take a picture later and post it.

It IS more difficult than a modern model.
Here's the video you'Re looking for:

Try whichever of these techniques you intuitively like.
If anything is unclear, look in Vince's other Hobby Cheating videos for clearing up, but don't stray too far in the beginning.

In your HQ Orc case, I'd try feathering
but it completely depends on what you like. Loaded brush is easier than it seems.
The important thing is, basecoat your Orc in the medium tone you wnat the skin to appear in, then do the highlights
and then glaze in shadows which is also easier than you would think.

You sir are a hero. I'd never have found that video. It really blows the Games workshop videos out the window. Although these techniques will take a lot of practice at least I understand them. I also now understand what I'm looking at when I see a pro painted model. Before I'd look and just think it's witchcraft.

Not for the first time thank you KK

Nah, stop that, I'm full of myself as is.
Vince is the hero. And Kujo Painting. James Wappel. Ben Komets/Painting Buddha.

Oh, and EVERYTHING blows out the Warhammer TV videos out the window.

Coming up with new NPCs and matching minis for them.
Little pointless flourishes like shopkeepers and stuff.
Trying to figure out size and look appropriate races.

So here it is in all its glory.

After I put the black paint on I realized that I placed the top stars to low and need to be a little farther up. Oh well I still think it looks good. Now time to hang it over my garage door.
