Byron's Quest #9 The Race Against Time - March Rank and File (237 points)

 "A guide has led you into an underground maze that is rumored to hold a great secret. He has led you down many dark corridors and finally you find yourself in a room with three doors. Suddenly the guide puts out his torch and in the darkness you hear him laugh. 'Farewell, my heroes,' he sneers as he makes his escape. You realize to your horror that it is a trap! you must escape (make it back to the stairway) or perish in this dark, forgotten hole."



Our heroes must decide which door to take in order to return to the stairs.

Our bewildered heroes steel themselves
for the unknown

First they kick in the center door to find 3 orcs

The right door, 2 goblins and an Orc

The left door, another orc and 2 goblins.

3 doors and no way out! The methodical, and otherwise unhelpful (when it comes to the messing work of killing goblins and orcs anyways) wizard, begins searching for hidden doors while the dwarf searches each room for treasure. 

After finding the secret door, the party wander down
the hall to find an orc waiting for them.

Opening the nearest door, the Dwarf bravely lunges
at his ancestral enemies, leaving his comrades
to defeat the chaos warrior.

Two fimir team up to master depth perception


Two orcs in a closet. Clearly up to no good.


Once again, the methodical wizard tells the barbarian
 to walk through the secret door he found.

Orcs lie in wait around each corner of the long corridors

Another orc in the far corner



The last foes before the stairs, 4 measly goblins 

To fulfill the needs of this quest I painted:
10 orcs
10 goblins
2 fimir
2 chaos warriors

All the minis for the month in one pic.

This brings my total to 237 points for the month.

Now, some pics of the entire army so far:


To date, the army is made up of:
19 Orcs
14 goblins
11 Skeletons
9 Fimir
7 Chaos Warriors
6 Zombies
5 Mummies
2 Gargoyles






For the next month I will be painting up the minis for Quest 10, Castle of Mystery and all of the remaining rank and file heroquest models.

  6. Cool update as always. I continue to work into imitating that fimir green with blueish shadow skin in a side project, it is amazing. Love the replication of the shield colours in the two chaos warriors.
