This is the first video I see from you. I've tried to paint miniatures in the past and failed miserably, but I think I just didn't know what I was doing. I'm definitely going to try again using your techniques.

Exactly why im hesitant. Afraid to mess it up and basically destroy my ‘89 heroquest figures.

I like the idea of clear bases in theory, but whenever I have used them on the tabletop and you factor in sun glare/lights, you can't really see through them that well anyway. They end up sticking out even more than a nicely done scenic base in my opinion.

That's because people suck at integrating the bases into their games. And if the mini is super dynamic, like a leaping pose, you need to add transparent stands and such, if you want transparency.

Great video again. Would definitely be up for either live or video of Heroquest game.

Awesome, i will see what I can do 🙂

I think a live stream would be great, either game play or painting. Would be fun to crack a brew and paint along with ya!

Love your videos and for sure would definitely watch your game on KZread!!!

Saw you do this in a video a while ago and started doing it. I love the clear bases. It keeps the immersion.

Cool as always 👍

Found you channel yesterday and I have to say I'm really enjoying your content. Would love to see some game play and also things like making up custom cards, I have the oldskool HQ set and would love to add some addition creatures in for custom quests!

Sweet paint job! May have to give speed paints a go!

Its been a game changer for me, I paint more in a week than I have in years before them 🙂

Looks great. Agreed to the accesability with the speed paint for average painters.👍👍👍

I had this channel for about 2 years and painted less than a dozen miniature's, then tried speedpaints and now paint more than that every month lol 🙂

Just bought this game myself for me and my son to play . Going to start painting miniatures as well. Great channel and videos . Thanks for the painting tips .

I don’t like cutting base because in my experience a glue link is too weak for gaming pieces. When Ineed to attach a mini to a new base, I do it with a metal pin which is not possible with thin footed minis especially on transparent bases, but it sure does look better

yea i cut off all my old heroquest bases because i re based my warhammer quest 95 on round bases. the old minis were a pain that plastic is very hard lol

Yeeeeesss Live stream of play, please.

Great Stuff. If u were going to show a game of Heroquest. Takin pix as u go then showing them while giving a talk thru would be my prefered option :-)

These videos are so relaxing. Taking a break while slapchopping my zombicide black plague content and watch you slapchop my childhood while I eat. I'd be interested in a liveplay as I have so much nostalgia for this game but would like to see a play through before I invest the money.

Cheers for the lovely comment, the game play is fun and easy and what I like is I can play the game with my children or mates, the rules are simple but you can introduce homebrew rules to make it more complex if you wanted 🙂

@@MiniatureHobbyist I feel that. I keep it to about 90 minutes and keep it fairly silly and use lots of props and stuff. Sometimes the five year old wanders off during rp conversations and such but oh well. He just likes hitting things with his sword.

Hey mate, You brought me back to the hobby and enjoying painting when I saw your slapchop videos and now I paint basically everyday. Getting ready to smash into some Old World (launches late here in Australia). I wondered if you have ever thought about doing a video about how you shoot your videos and the setup you have as I would love to see someone like you go into those details. Keep on cracking on I always look forward to you videos when they come up in my feed.

If these don't work out, you now have the self taining to do mani-pedies, esp when you need cash for the rest of the hobbys! Anyways, the bases I'm getting use to are the fancy G1 through 3 of F.O,W.W. covered in random stuff. Can't do live, but always catch the recap / highlight reel.

Been trying to learn to edit videos so I can do a channel, maybe do a speedpaint review for my first, being a builder for the last 25years doesn't help me computer wise! 😂

Those ogres came out great. 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎 I'm like you, think I've got all the mold lines till painting! 🙄🙄🙄🙄 How long would you say it took to finish all four of these? Plus, do you varnish them when finished? Plus, if you find the time would like to see a game being played! From the few videos of yours I've watched so far, I think I have a lot more to view! 😃😃😃😃

Did you say you were going to do a Heroquest 3D board? What is it you have shown in this video please? I only have a small resin printer but would love to to a board as we (my mates and i) play heroquest everyweek, also of a similar age to you 😅 Blast from the past and all that!
