More Villains

Took a picture of three classic Citadel Chaos Warriors, with a HeroQuest base.
The first one is Azoth the Faceless (Heroes for Dungeonquest), I just had another layer of paint on him. Looking much better with his robe that was brown and is now turned purple, while his helm is now golden. I am preparing a mini questpack featuring this sorcerer as the main character, with new spells.
The figure is not an original, it is a resin recast that was made and gently gifted by Granpasso (RIP) years ago.
The one in the centre is a Chaos Warrior (another resin recast). He had some bubbles and some missing parts were resculpted with green stuff.
The third one is a Chaos Champion. and is one of my favourite miniatures. The Chaos Champion was made and painted many years ago and one of my first attempt at making resin recasts. A big thank you to Woreno from the Italian HeroQuest forum for providing this and other miniatures to let me have the chance to make my hands on them. Unfortunately you can see part of his pouch missing and the bottom of the sword is also missing a part (it was a skull knob).

My miniatures cabinet

While browsing my phone I found a photo of my cabinet I took about two years ago, so I decided to make a new one and share it, because my blog needs an update or just because I like to share it with you.
In the cabinent there are some of my Heroquest and other Citadel figures, plus a few Grenadier, HHG and Ral Partha pieces too.
Wonder if I will ever find the time to paint them all...

Wizards of Morcar: the unreleased metal prototypes

Here are the rare metal miniatures from the Wizards of Morcar pack.
If you think you've already seen them, you are right; infact they are shown in the photo on the rear of the box of the expansion pack.
I guess the prototypes were used to test the game and as a guide for sculpting the plastic models. Grawshak, the Orc Shaman, is way bigger than its plastic version, while the others are just a little bit taller than their official plastic counterparts. Boroush, the Storm Master, has no necklace and got a stone on his staff. The prototypes have better details than the plastic models.
Men-at-Arms were released with alternate heads and four body variants and used for Warhammer but this is the right model you can see on the back of the Wizards of Morcar box.

Please note, not all versions of the box are showing the metal prototypes, later releases show the plastic models instead.

Heroquest vs Dungeonquest: Sorcerers

Some of the first figures I painted are the Heroquest Chaos Warlock (Sorcerer) and a Dungeonquest Chaos Sorcerer (named Azoth the Faceless). The Dungeonquest character was already half painted about 6 years ago using Model Master enamels and left unfinished, so I decided to leave the same color scheme and to complete the painting covering the old job.
The Heroquest Chaos Sorcere was instead a brand new job. I like how it turned out.
