HeroQuest 1989 – Skeletons

HeroQuest 1989 - Skeletons, Milton Bradley, Games Workshop

A couple of mouldy oldies today – a pair of Skellingtons from the Original MB/GW co-production of Heroquest from my 1989 copy. Sure, these took more than a little while to get painted, but now they’ve finally been started and finished. Only a few decades late!

Now there should be another pair of Skeletons from the set, so I may well have to go delving and foraging in my game boxes to see if I actually still have the other two, but for the time being these two are done!

These are my first February models that also qualify for entry in Dave Stone’s in the current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4, and were indeed painted due to the challenge (and seeing them on the table and thinking I could get them done relatively quickly for it!)

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers Pt.1 (January 2023 Round-Up)

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers

In mid-January I started painting again after my close to 2-month break from the hobby, and so with a sense of “get these bloody things done” combined with wanting to do something relatively simple to ease myself back in, I went for some more of the Zombies that are a priority task. So I painted this batch of Toxic Zombie Walkers.

I amuse myself by thinking of them as a pack of Toxic Karens, posting endlessly on social media and then when out in the world endlessly demanding in their zombie-grooooans to “speeeeak to your maaanaggerrrr”. I think it’s the combination of the haircut and face along with that outstretched hand, swiping away at their now-long-lost phones.

As it happens, these will be my first entry in Dave Stone’s in the current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4. These seven models also serve as my January 2024 Round-Up, since they’re all that I got done in the first month of this year. I’ll have the first of February’s models up in a day or two, though…
