From QuinnM: Warhammer Quest Cursed City (201 points)

For my first weekly post, I actually have a decent collection of different types of models. From rats to skeletons zombies and bats These all come from Warhammer quest:cursed city board game a revamp GW tried to do on their old Warhammer quest IP that flunked a while ago.




I picked up this game with the intention of painting and playing it with one of my friends. someone I played hero quest with over the course of covid. Now that he's moving out of province in a bit over a month, my plan of slowly painting these over the first month of the challenge has changed and I have been madly rushing to get them all painted myself so that we can play through the game before he leaves. So these are some very quick and dirty models. They're all done through the slap chop method. Which I have never used before.





I used three different contrast paints to give a bit of a gradient and then touch them up afterwards with a highlight. I went for a sepia tone look kind of inspired by The monochrome nature of old horror movies as all of the creatures painted could certainly be found somewhere in a horror movie. And ultimately, I am very happy with the final result. 

So for points this week as some of these models are collections of animals, they all work out to be about 28 mm models. Leaving me with 

37x28mm footman @ 5 points = 185 points

8x15mm footman @ 2 points =16 points(This is for the little tokens) 

Totaling 201 points. 

And I will finish this up with a some close-up shots of the individual unit types. 




 






===================

 Sylvain: You are truly a master of lighting. I can imagine a full moon shining bleakly on these foul creatures. Your photos are splendid and the dark background helps bring the ambiance of death and despair that you are conveying. Joli travail!

    1. And he used an airbrush that he just got for his birthday in November Greg :-). Poke poke...

      For everyone else, I helped Greg get an airbrush, probably at least 6+ years ago and just just broke it out to use recently. Hence the jab :-D
