Now WHQ is my kind of drug. I am really impressed by that game, both solo and with other people. I think I actually prefer it with 3 or 4, just because the game can be surprisingly brutal with just two players. Only have two explore actions available at a time, and two people to engage with monsters makes the game pretty tough. Winnable, but tough. If FFG decides to reskin the game in some other universe, I'd miss the license, but I'd still be all over that.

Not sure yet. The game warrants further investigation...
Nate, Barnes, I'm an odd duck who also enjoys SH:DA with others. If your hulks aren't gonna be played too frequently how about shaving those Tyranids out so a brother can cleanse the xeno with friends and family?

Well, I do actually play. As I've realized I'm not much of a solo gamer, I've also realized that Death Angel and WHQ card game are basically the only solo games I still play at all. Besides my copy is, shall we say, well loved. It doesn't even have a box anymore.
I haven't tried it with any of my friends in DFW, I should do that.

On the painting scene, I've already cratered the value of my 3rd edition Fury of Dracula by painting those up and now I'm doing DungeonQuest.
The FoD miniatures look hard to paint because the features aren't sharp and well defined. Please post your progress because I want to paint mine too.

Here's what I turned out...
Did you use ink? The recess shading looks sharper than a wash to me.
And those look great!

1) prime white
2) wash with black
3) paint but leaving space up to each detail so the black would act as a clear separator...if that makes any sense
You can see there's no highlighting on the colors. It seemed to me that too much shading and highlighting would muddle these figs. The minis and detail are small so I figured only black between colors/details would allow the figure to pop more at a distance. Less is more I suppose.

Awesome! Thanks!

1) paint black
2) try brush/thin layer of a light almost yellow brown on most of the base...allow a little black to poke though...only a little though.
3) light wash/watered down dark brown
Keep in mind that that was designed to match the browns of the 2nd ed board. I guess something similar could be done for the 3rd board. I found the wash over a dry bush gave the base a neat marble like effect.
