I'm ready to play... And you?

[Metal Extremo]

Kinghu is done. To finish the homenaje, the ground is done with a board game that may be 35 years old, more or less. The cards of treasure and weapons, and the instructions to play of the mityc Hero Quest. At the base, the character card of the dwarf, with the attack, move and defense attributes. Kinghu has his left hand over a pile of cubes, painted as stones at the begining, ant retouched in two of them with purple and blue to represent the magic of the cubes. A bad throw and your character is dead. The reallity hit him like a stone.

This is the thing i had in mind, and i could do it. I'm happy.

Painted with acrilycs, and oils for weathering and deep in metals, to paint the hair of the cape, and the cubes. Instructions and cards scanned and rescaled to print. The Hero Quest used is mine. And yes, i'm a freak from long time ago

A general view, with the base


The figure and the base










From the top, with the ground



From the ground. No allow watch something different, but gives a stately touch to the dwarf, and is very cool IMO

I lost the SBS! But the final result is great. The idea is just very good and very well executed! Hero Quest...good memories Sooner or later I have to add a dwarf to my collection. In my opinion the only thing that distracts me is the beard, maybe too much satin?
Un saludo!!

 

[DEL]

Smashing job. Clever and fun.
I like the choice of colours, very much in the fantasy genre but not overdone.
Cheers

[Alex]

Very nice !

 

[Metal Extremo]

Thanks to all for you lines mates. I'm surprised a piece of fantasy likes so much people in PF, more focused on historic painting.

I believe fantasy uses to work better with small and calculate dosis between reality to be understood for the watchers. As in Game of Thrones. At the beginning a little of magic in medieval ground, and after when you are in the serie, come the dragons, wizards, undeads

You played too to HeroQuest. We are legion. Put a dwarf in you collection today, and soon you'll need an orc too. The shine of the beard is my fault. The reflexion of the light of the lamp, but i can't do better things with a camera.

 

[fermatgom]

Yes, in fact for a short time I stopped painting historic to paint some of the figures that the box came with... but I was very young
Now in fact I'm painting an orc bust, my first fantasy figure since then!!! Well... it's the Napoleork bust (S75) so it is still a wee % of historic
I will try to finish it before Agoncillo contest... maybe I will attend if I convince my wife, jajajja
