Painting Board game figures

[chiron70]

I am commenting on http://www.coolminiornot.com/284079 (Kracken) and all the Cycaldes & Defender of the Realm figures I had Middle Pillar Path Painting (http://www.middlepillarpathpainting.net/) paint.

Since having them paint these two games (you can see them all in their gallery) I have had non gamers play just beacuse of the figures! That has prompted me to realize more games should be painted (either pre-painted, by myself, or professionally).

What do others think? Any agreement, disagree, comments on MPP's work ....

Thanks

Well a lot of people here have painted "Heroquest" figures, which are technically from a board game! The question I would have is, are these pieces typically made of a plastic that accepts paint well and isn't too rubbery? For instance, the zombies from "Zombies!!!" are not really suitable for painting, as far as I can tell.

the painting is ok, it's the cleaning up that's the problem. nice pjs on yours

Some are to flimsy and many need to be properly cleaned and primed (no telling what was on them in the factory) but those are typically the issues I see.

Your's look fantastic!


I've painted figures for lots of board games;...A Touch Of Evil, Last Night on Earth, etc. Some figures really lend themselves well to paint.

For instance, I am pretty sure I will be painting my figs from THE ADVENTURERS: TEMPLE OF CHAC....

Painted figures ALWAYS look better. Even my Tannhauser figs (prepaints) look halfway decent.
