Hero Quest Undead

I'd been on a bit of a Hero Quest painting spree, so here's the first results of my labour. Consider this a how to paint Hero Quest tutorial - starting with the undead!

As I said in a previous post, I was inspired by the work done by Insaniak and embarked on getting my own Hero Quest set painted. They were all done using the base-colour followed by devlan mud technique, with the average time to paint a figure in the 10min range. Here's a group shot of the shambling horde!

The skeletons were painted with the following colours, all followed by a Devlan Mud wash:

• Bone - Bleached Bone (GW)
• Scythe Shaft - Burnt Umber (Prism)
• Scythe Blade - Bolt Gun Metal (GW)
• Base - Chaos Black (GW)

The zombies were painted with the following colours, followed by a Devlan Mud wash:

• Skin - Rotting Flesh (GW)
• Eyes - Blood Red (GW)
• Hair - Astronomican Grey (GW-F)
• Axe Shaft - Burnt Umber (Prism)
• Axe Blade - Bolt Gun Metal (GW)
• Pants - Fenris Grey (GW)
• Jacket - Khemri Brown (GW)
• Base - Chaos Black (GW)

The mummies were painted with the following colours, followed by a Devlan Mud wash:

• Bandages - Bleached Bone (GW)
• Skin - Ghoul Skin (RMS)
• Base - Chaos Black (GW)

So there you have it! Simple and fast paint jobs that add lots of flavour to your Hero Quest games. They also make good undead for D&D games too!
