So I thought I'd go a bit different from the card colour scheme and painted one of my abominations going for a goldfishy type look, also wanted his weapon to look like rusted/verdigris copper.

I'm not sure it works, what do you think, should I do more like this or go back the usual blue/green marine type look?

Finally managed to get a Dread Veil Dice Set and Mat. Apart from the extra design on the back of the box you don't get much. Unless you have the best vision in the world, you really can't see what you've rolled. They do look nice when held up to the light though, there's something 'cloudy' inside them. Of the three I think the First Light ones are by far the best.

A few pics of the initial setup. It's very simple, but laborious, popping tiny magnets into all the wall pieces and then super-gluing the same kind of magnets into the base pieces. Laborious but also quite therapeutic I found.

I still have to either drybrush the exposed magnetic studs on the base, or buy more wall sections and fill them in, this would make them double walls, not sure what would look best... opinions?

Either way I'm very impressed with it, it took a month from ordering to delivery, and I'm happy with that, Jerome had to 3D print then paint all of the parts and there's tons of them

Can't wait to start using the board, the wife will play Zargon via the app (because she's evil of course) and I'll play as the heroes, because I'm very heroic. :) Hopefully my sons and their girlfriends will also get involved. Should be a blast.

Did a quick google how to paint fire, it said start with yellow, then build up and fade orange and red. Easier said than done! But I think I'm happy with it so far. I know the Addams family doesn't strictly fit in with Heroquest lore and setting, but I couldn't resist the portrait. :)

It's nice to take a break from painting the heroes and monsters.

I bought a battered old DW5600CS from ebay. The resin strap was beyond repair so I decided to have some retro fun with it and bought a pre-aged/distressed bracelet and bezel kit from aexpress. I quite like how it's turned out.
