Ice Gremlin

 

I have been playing a lot HeroQuest with my son. It really is a fantastic introduction to 'Dungeon Crawling' and a clear 'gateway game' to more complex wargames and RPGs. For now though, we are just having fun.

My initial attempts to paint our set failed, as a few weeks after painting, the mins became 'sticky'. Luckily, I hadn't painted that many. The problem seems to be some combination of the bendy plastic the figures are made from and the spray cans I used for primer/varnish. 

I recently picked up the Frozen Horror expansion and decided to have another go on one of the figures. I used brush on primer for this guy (and brush on varnish). I don't generally like brush on, but needs must. Considering its a board game fig, the sculpting and detail is not bad, though you can see some lack of definition in the fingers. Still, looks pretty good painted.

Now I just have to wait and hope no 'stick' develops.
