Thanks! I didn’t feel very nice when I dropped the horseman on its head on some white oil paint on the palette. It flows everywhere when cleaned with white spirit. Oh well, live and learn.

Thank you! They were a pleasure the paint. After painting goblins it was also fun to get to use a lot of gold paint.

Also WIP: a pair of ADC’s to be used as a Sharp Practice deployment marker. Wonderful figures sculpted by @hicksy.bsky.social from @brigadegames.bsky.social. Base colours painted with acrylic colours, next stop: oil washes.

…so I decided to make them out of plasticard, tiny chain and ropes twisted from thin steel wire. What a nerve-wracking experience that has been! I don’t yet know how to get all this painted and based and still have some sanity remaining.

Are there major improvements to way things play out compared to the later HeroQuest editions? I’d imagine the basic structure of the rules is so robust and simple that there won’t be a lot of (any?) conversion work needed to update the existing material.

I have some questions about this new game Ian. I’ve run a long HeroQuest campaign, started during the first edition with the Orlanth / Red Goddess books. We’ve gone through all the editions and now I’m interested in Questworlds.

The steel sheet is quite slippery and a bit of sanding of the bottom of the horse bases prevents from sliding around too much.

PVA glue, DAS clay, more glue and aquarium sand are used to cover the bases of the horses.
The sabot base has small strips of styrene on the edges. Edges are covered with whatever covers them and sand is glued on top.

The steel rectangle is glued to the plastic base, the horses are glued to their bases and the 5 mm magnets are glued in the holes. I used two 3 mm magnets on the previous dragoons but they don’t really feel quite strong enough.

First I cut a 100 x 60 mm plastic base and a slightly smaller steel rectangle. The horses will be mounted on 20 x 50 mm bases with 6 mm holes punched in places where the integral bases of the horses will cover the holes.

They are really nice figures! Although painting the reins was my least favourite part of the process…

Also two cows by Warlord Games. I like oil paints for large surfaces, but they give a bit of a shine which the camera & lighting accentuates.

Great work! Can you please add me.
