Thanks! You and @payn inspired me to dig my old box out and join in. :LOL: I was worried when I saw your first attempt with brush didn't work well as that's all I have currently. I ended up giving them a really good wash and scrub as my set definitely had a film and layer of dust on them...

Love it, thank you for the suggestion!

My current project has been the OG HeroQuest Challenge. Heh Wherever possible, I am deferring to the box art for the color scheme. So far it has been a lot of fun. My metallics didn't do quite what I expected on the Chaos Warrior so I'm going to change some things when I do the next one. I...

Here is the griffon I've been plinking away with. As noted previously, I use Army Painter speed paints and I ran into an issue with my primer coat that @Clint_L made a great suggestion on a few pages back. Basically I did a black base, then a grey dry brush followed by a white highlight...

I just did a griffon a week or so ago and trying to figure out the color scheme was the hardest part. It's still a work in progress because the white cowl and (primary I think) feathers came out too grey vs. white. The other feathers transition from a brown to a reddish tint brown that went okay.

I wish I had backed that particular Bones KS, I love that selection and the paint jobs look fantastic!

I ran this adventure for my group back when it was released and thought it was a lot of fun. Good creepy Lovecraftian feel. Two aspects I really liked were the pool of "innocents" to utilize for extra tension and the call to the sea. I'm very curious to see how the new book might compare.

I had completely missed the renewal announcement and was worried it was not moving forward despite its ratings. (am I misremembering or was there an inordinate delay in the decision to renew the show?) This is great news!

Strong Mystery Machine vibes with the color scheme there.

I'm in full agreement there. We're trying our hand at a vegetable garden this year. We're still just setting everything up and nursing the seedlings inside the house and I'm already constantly having to pivot around mistakes I've made (note to self: next year make sure to start the seeds in the...

Oof, that is what I was going to use. Good to know.

I meant to post priming pictures a couple of weeks ago before I painted the pieces to get some feedback. As I mentioned a few posts up, I primed all of these black, then a grey drybrush followed with a white highlight drybrush. I'm still trying to get the technique down and wanted to ask, do...

OG Hero's Quest at that!! I plan to experiment with my set as well at some point. I can't wait to see how yours turn out.

Finally had some time to work on a few yesterday. I'm pretty pleased overall, I borrowed one of those magnifier headsets and it made a huge difference! I definitely will be investing in my own soon. The carrion crawler and gorgon are from a Bones Kickstarter ages ago. The umber hulk is from the...

Anecdotally, back in the 3.5 era, our DM started with Sons of Gruumsh and eventually tied it into an epic Red Hand of Doom campaign. That said, geographically the two adventures were leagues apart and there was a lot of other adventuring between them. Also anecdotally, our party had a near TPK...
