Ye Olde Inn

Thanks for all the advice, guys! I've set up shop [url=http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=4504]here,[/url] and I invite you all to follow my progress! :)

Hello,

Your stuff is great!

I post to my own project thread in "HeroQuest Additions -> other expansion topics". If it really is just miniature painting, then you could use your own thread in that forum (HeroQuest Additions -> Miniatures).

We will find your stuff wherever you put it. I don't even look at the forum headers... the best way to read the latest news here is to select the "view active topics" link from the main page.

alternatively to the sections suggested by Thor-In and Pancho, you can also chose to go to board index -> Artist's Guild

There is also a long running thread in Ye Olde Pub called "what are you working on today" where folks post updates on their projects (not just Heroquest).

Welcome to the forum! Great Username by the way.

Also, allow me to repeat my earlier question -- maybe someone can help me out with this: [i]Could anyone tell me which part of the forum, if any, would be appropriate for posting an ongoing log for my project of painting the entire set? I find ongoing WIP logs actually help me to stay focused.[/i][/quote]

I put mine in the following location.

HeroQuest Rooms--->HeroQuest Additions--->Miniatures

http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewforum.php?f=56

Then you can start a topic of your progress.
Hope that helps.

Again, thanks everyone! :)

@ lestodante: I guess what you're trying to say is that I should paint the Elf, isn't it? ;) I hear you! And the best thing is that it won't even have to be a salvage job: All the remaining hero figures from both HeroQuest and Advanced HeroQuest that I own are still pristine.

The bad news, however, is that between me and the Elf are quite a few bloodthirsty Orcs -- I actually want to reward myself for painting all of the Orcs in the set with painting the Elf last, something I am very much looking forward to. Spent quite a bit of time yesterday trying to get rid of some of the truly ungodly mold lines on the Orc models, and I have a painting session lined up for tomorrow, so wish me luck! :)

Welcome to the inn! Cool marble effect on the wizard's staff and his eyes are also very meaning! They all look very nice in that pic with the keys, it has a nice vintage style!
I'll wait to see you reaching your goal to complete all the set. But now there's no more time to talk, you have to go and face your first quest: "The Rescue of the Elf Friend", only then you'll be ready to start your journey.
Good luck my friend.

These look amazing! Welcome!

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome, everyone! I feel right at home! :)

Glad to hear you like the paintjobs -- the previous ones were, indeed, train wrecks. I cannot begin to fathom what the heck I was thinking back at the time. So if nothing else, it felt great to salvage these models. I also had such fun returning to that bright, high-fantasy HeroQuest look: I was terrified of painting that wizard model, but in the end, I had such a blast.

Come to think of it, my first ever attempt to paint something was actually on a HeroQuest Zombie, and I still have my various attempts, which serve as a pretty good yardstick on how my painting has improved over the years ;)

Say, could anyone tell me which part of the forum, if any, would be appropriate for posting an ongoing log for my project of painting the entire set? I find ongoing WIP logs actually help me to stay focused, and the other forum I am most active on (The Bolter & Chainsword) doesn't allow non-40k content.

Good job salvaging your initial train wreck :lol:
And welcome to the inn |_P
