    I’m loving these hero quest videos really reminds me of the black stone fortress vids
  • @nikipinz
    Love that this doesn't need 47 colors to make it look good
  • @matejkuselj5881
    This videos should be released more often... I bought Heroquest at the end of November 2023, got the Mega set of Speedpaints at the start of December. As a total beginner I started painting the forniture, mummies, skeletons, heroes, etc. and I finished the day you released the skeletons painting video :) after that I finished my Descent 1st edition, Jaws of the Lion and in this week I'll start with Imperial Assault :) thx for motivating me and introducing this beautiful hobby! It's cheap and lots of fun and zen moments :)
  • I was wondering when the next one of these would come out! So glad to see the series continue and grow
  • @beaulucas3511
    Thanks! My son , daughter and I have been following along. We can't wait for the Heroes!
  • @TheMrFishnDucks
    These Dark Knights look super cool. Thank you for returning to this OG style video format it is enjoyable watching. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
  • @ophelius5588
    I am always impressed by how easy and fun painting can be with your instructions. The minis look great!
  • @wells3773
    Another great video. Thank you. Picking my last few paints up tomorrow then starting on the furniture. Keep up the amazing work.
  • @t75044
    That is a really nice dark menacing armour you made there, and I think I know just which mini I'm going to try it on. Also don't forget to touch up the base rims when speckling paint.
  • @toogreytogame
    Love this series. Hope you keep going with the expansions.
  • @snazzmaw
    Your take on these old-school minis is excellent. Thanks for the upload!
  • @c.vonburen4495
    I'm totally loving (and totally needing) this Heroquest series! PLEASE continue with this! And, if you can, make all the other miniatures!!! Fantastic job! Greetings from Venezuela!
  • I’ve been loving these videos and following along (slowly) with my set. I’m very keen to see what palette you use with the heroes, as I kind of like the idea of making my baddies in a red theme, but I’m keen to see if that would work with how you do your heroes. Keep ‘em coming please!
  • @Isteak80
    Thank you for straightforward, effective ways to get bare plastic minis painted up for these tabletop games. It always feels daunting when you have a whole game board of minis you want to paint up but as mentioned in the video it makes such a difference when you are playing.
  • @beamstalk6475
    I just picked up Hero's Quest these are some great paint ideas for them
  • @lachief237
    I love your simple videos. While I skew a little brighter in my palette (must re watch those demons videos), it’s great to watch how simple techniques can bring a cohesive vision to the table. I particularly liked some of the blood work.

    2:41 when you said "head and shoulders," I was so hoping you were going say "knees and toes" as well.
