This thread will contain all of my paint jobs and figure mods. Any write ups for them will be in my Classic or Super custom thread. Anytime I update this thread with a new pic it will be in both its own post and here in the 1st post as well

Just finished repaint of Heroquest zombie. Here it is



The Undead Hordes

Spoiler Alert!

These 3 skeletons are from Darkworld which I made alterations to them so I can tell them apart. They make up my custom squad called Unworthy Dead.




This is actually a Magic the Gathering miniature that was released years ago. It is a Zombie Lord. I use this for my custom unit Oothvagos.


This is a skeleton from Heroquest

Here are various orcs I have painted over the years, including some Heroquest, Darkworld and metal ones.

Spoiler Alert!

Fyorlag Spiders
These are my proxies for the hard to get and expensive Fyorlag Spiders. They are made from spider rings I found in the Haloween section at my local Meijer. 20 rings for $4.

Great work, JC.

[Scapemage]

Cool. Lex Battlesuit is $8? Geesh, I got him in a trade.

[jcmcminis]

@ Balantai....thanks I am glad you like them.

@ Scapemage...Yeah he's actually like 8.50 at miniature market, cheapest I saw him was 6.99 at strikezoneonline, but is still more than I wanted to pay.

[Drewman-chu]

great paint jobs! The figure look excellent.

I really like the pose of The Thing (more than Heroclix)..... but I'm pretty particular about scale.

Thanks.

[jcmcminis]

Well scale wise it varies by individual. The Thing for example is spot on, in my opinion, however all the handfull of heroes are roughly the same height so Things figure is just as tall as wolverines. I will post some comparisob pics a little later so you can see.

[jcmcminis]

Ok heres the comparison shots for EoS

1st we have Heroclix Batman, HoH Thing and official Scape hulk


Next Pic is Heroclix Green Lantern,HoH Green Goblin and Official Scape Silver Surfer

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for...

I agree, Thing is spot on....but GG looks a little big.

Btw, paint job is stellar on Thing.

So to get a hold of the HoH Thing, I'm guessing I'm gonna have to blind purchase a couple HoH packs? I haven't seen them (are they hard to find?) .... what are the chances of getting a Thing (ie, are there rarities with HoH?)

[jcmcminis]

I think there are some that are rarer than others. The come in packs of 8 one of which is hidden in the cardboard insert. I have bought like 4 or 5 packages. I bought ones that I could seeat least 1 character in that I wanted. There were ones I really wanted but have not been able to find, Deadpool mainley because his Heroclix figs are so damn expensive. I do have an extra Thing, Mandarin, and several others EoS if you want to work out some sort of trade.

I cannot find the hand full of heroes anywhere. They used to sell them at walmart, but after they remodeled it they stopped carrying them.
