Hello ladies, gents, friends and fiends! I'm very excited to share the first episode of the brand new "Speed Painting HeroQuest" series.

In some ways, a return to "classic Midwinter Minis", but in other ways, I'm just sharing a real passion of mine! With the, in my opinion, pretty badly managed release of Warhammer 40k 10th edition, and its multiple rules updates in the... what... 2 months(?)... since it's been available, I've been avoiding all the meta-chasing drama and instead shifting to other games in my personal hobby life.

HeroQuest is fast, fun, and a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours with friends. I hope my passion for this game, and the project ahead, shows in the video!

Thank you all so, so much for your support. You have no idea how much it means to us. I hope you enjoy the video!
