Finished Level 3 Monster Encounter Table

 Everything left for DL 3 monster encounter table is either an enemy Wizards or Unit Champions. Lets get started with Skaven Warlock. I was able to find Grey Seer Thanquol on Telegram. I like using special characters for champions and wizards where possible. 

Rather basic paint scheme, "Gehenna's Gold' Helmet, Glowing "Moot Green" Staff, Sword, and Amulet. "Mephiston Red" & "Kantor Blue" robes.  "Kislev Flesh" with "Agrax EarthShade" wash for skin. And the usual "Emporer's Children" pink for Nose, ears, and Tail.

 Here is a picture of the different types of Skaven that show up through level 3.

Left to right: Plague Monk, Gutter Runner, Stormvermin, Rat Ogre, Clanrat, & Warlock.

 Next, 3 Beastmen Champions. This model comes from Mordenheim Beastmen Team (as will the Beastmen Hero/Lord when he shows up on Level 5 and found on Telegram). Maintaining my polar bear paint scheme of White Fur with black skin, and human skin for all their leather.

 Next up, Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer. This STL comes from Tonoborus's free Chaos Dwarf pack. All the Chaos Dwarves and Hobgoblins from this pack were original sculps from Fabelzel. If you go looking you can find more posses and models he made (I did this to find a Bull Centaur Champion). I maintained the same paint scheme as my normal Chaos Dwarfs and Blunderbusses (Gold, Red, and Black). but added some yellow sleeves.

 

 Lets take a look at the various types of Chaos Dwarfs that show up through level 3.

Left to right: Bull Centaur, Sorcerer, Blunderbuss, normal Chaos Dwarf, & Hobgoblin.

Necromancer please, raise up some friends. This necromancer came in the original Warhammer Quest Catacombs of Terror expansion. His name it that is Gunther Laranscheld (found on Telegram).

 Here is a picture of the different types of Undead that show up through level 3.

Left to right: Zombie, Wight, Skeleton Swordsmen, Necromancer, Skeleton Bowmen, Ghost, & Ghoul. 

 Onto Dark Elf Sorceress. This is the 5th edition Morathi model (found on Telegram).

  Lets take a look at the various types of Dark Elves that show up through level 3.

 

Left to right: Crossbowmen, Sorceress, Black Guard, and Witch.

 Now for the Beastmen Shaman. This also comes from the Mordenheim Beastmen troop. 

 Next the Minotaur Champion. I made this model by combining several different STLs I acquired. The blog post "Theseus's Nemesis" covers this in greater detail. 

 Lets take a look at the various types of Beastmen that show up through level 3.

From Left to right: Minotaur, Minotaur Champion, Beastmen Shaman, Beastmen Champion, Beastmen.

That leaves us with only one model left for the Level 3 encounter table, Centaur Champion. I made this model by combining several different STLs and go over the process in the blog post "Bases, Centaurs, and Start-of-Dungeon level 2". 

 

 Here is a picture of the Champion next to normal centaur and the Elf hero for size comparison.

  

I'm up to 439 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 6/28/25. 

The Level 3 Encounter table is now complete, now to start on Level 4. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Big Chunk of Whats Left of Level 3

 

Starting off with some yellow turds, 12 of them even. Nurglings provided by Tonoborus. I painted this the same way I painted the Plague Bearers, Flash Gits yellow with Agrax Earthshade inking. Painted "boils" in Warpstone Glow with white highlights. Pick out some teeth, eyes, and toe nails in white and call them done.

 

 Then we move onto some Ghosts. These also come from Tonoborus. I wasn't sure how to do "ghostly", especially since I didn't want to break out my Airbrush, so I did a simple Youtube search for "paint ghosts". I watched 5-6 videos, a few had the same plan that I ended up using, the most concise version being this one.  Short version, is paint the models fully in White Scar, then ink it with Nikilakh Oxide, the dry brush is with White Scar after the ink has dried.

 

 So I really wanted glorious 80 hair Dark Elf Witches pictured below.

 Sadly I couldn't find STLs for them. I even went as far as borrowing "BOBs" witch elves, and trying to Scan them with a Revopoint Mini scanner I borrowed from another friend. I can get good scan out of larger models (Minotaur, Trolls, Greater Daemons) but not infantry. The scanner has trouble with really small details like faces, and skinny weapons, and arms. 

I had access to both 6th edition and 8th edition STLs for Witch Elves, but they just lacked that early 90s Games Workshop look I wanted. 

 

6th Edition Witch Elves

 

 

8th Edition Witch Elves

 

 

So I'm going to use a place holder model for now. There is a designer on cults3d.com (and several other sites) who has many fully custom minis that mimic Warhammer Fantasy. They go by the screen name Ystlund. I believe they provide all their designs for free. You can get these witches here. If I can get 4th edition STLs I will be replacing these models.

 

 

Paint scheme is simple enough, Kislev Flesh (washed with Skeleton Horde) for Skin. Emporer's Children Pink for Hair (mixed White Scar with the pink to make a light pink for Highlights). Abaddon Black, Xereus Purple, Runefang Steel, & Gehenna's Gold for armor, weapons,  and cloths. Screaming Skull with Skeleton Horde wash for the skulls on Belt and Helmet. 

The last thing for today is three Giant Scorpions. I heavily modified this model from Zertux on Cults3d.com. Because I would be shrinking the model down so much, I simplified the model a lot. I removed all of its legs, made a single simple leg and copied it 7 times for 8 copies of the same simple leg. I also increased the size of the Stinger and its two main eyes. I painted the whole model in Mephiston Red, then painted pincers, Stinger and sides of body and tail in Corax White, then washed the whole thing with Agrax Earthshade. Picked out its eyes with White Scar and all done.

Update 8/2/25: Tonoborus now provides Giant Scorpions for 56 cents you can get here. So the original rules of Quest don't say how many spaces a Giant Scorpion should take up and it doesn't have Large Monster rules. So when re-writing the game, we determined they only took up one space. Tonoborus interpreted that this model can take up 4 spaces but does not have Large Monster rules.

Tonoborus's Giant Scorpion (takes up 4 spaces).

I'm up to 429 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 6/21/25. 

This leaves only 8 models for Level 3 (all champion and/or wizard enemies). 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Lets start Dungeon Level 3

So as it turns out, I missed one model I needed to finish Dungeon Level 2 Monster Encounter table. I need a Orc Boss. My list showed it not being needed until Dungeon Level 4 for some reason. I manage to find all the mini's for Lair of the Orc Lord as STLs I could download off of Telegram. So of coarse, Gorgut would be the perfect Orc Boss model. But I also now have a much better Skabnoze model, so I painted that one up too. 

Gorgut (to be used as Orc Boss), Skabnoze (to be used as Orc Shaman), 
and the Orc Shaman I will no longer be using. 

 

 Now onto DL 3. I did a pole on the facebook group "Warhammer Quest!", asking what group of monsters I should paint next. I only got 18 votes, but ended up with a tie between Chaos Warrior Champions and Skeleton Tombguard. I let my kid cast the tie breaking vote, and so we get Tombguard first.

 These guys I found on a pack of undead for "pocket Hero Quest" by  Tilinger. I do also have all the Mini's for Catacomb's of Terror as STLs I got from Telegram. So I could replace these Tombguard for the slightly nicer ones from the original expansion, but for now I'll use these ones.

 Next up, Chaos Warrior Champions!

So I already knocked out 12 regular Chaos Warrior, but used a simple model from Tonoborus. That model was reminiscent of Hero Quest Chaos Warrior, so I'm looking for an upgraded version of that. So there is an older figure for Hero Quest named Slambo. I'm not really sure why he is called that, or why he is popular, but I did find a remake of that model on Cults3d  made by Soundwave810 . This feels like an upgrade of the guys I used earlier, So I just reversed the paint scheme and there we go.

6 Chaos Warrior Champions

 

3 Chaos Warrior Champions, with the regular Chaos Warriors behind them.

 

Next up Daemonettes of Slaanesh. These come from Tonoborus's Daemon Pack. I'm slightly tempted to replace these with original metal model design, but these will work for now.

 And last for today, Flamers of Tzeentch. These also come from Tonoborus's Daemon Pack. I love this sculpt. 

 

 

I'm up to 400 monsters painted, 535 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 6/16/25. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Dwarves, Skaven, Daemons, some Undead, and a Completed Level 2 Chart.

We start today of with 6 Wights provided by Tonoborus. Two of these guys their arms broke while removing supports, I glued the arms back on in a downward direction to add variety. Purple robes, with glowing Green Swords. Two in Red, two in yellow, and two in green. (kind of tempted to brake a red ones arm, to put it into the downward position).

 

10 Plaguebears also provided by Tonoborus. I painted this base Flash Gitz yellow, then inked them with Agrax Earthshade. I ink a ton of my mini's with Agrax Earthshade, love the crap out of that paint. The swords are Abaddon Black, dry brush a dark green, then highlight with a brighter green. Pick out some white teeth and claws, and bone for their horns and they are all finished. I happen to flip some of these guys before sending them to be 3D printed to add some variety. 

 So Globadiers, where quite the long hassle. These were the models I wanted:

 I couldn't find them until quite recently. First I messed around with these, non-GW models that were frankly way too skinny. I edited the models to have thicker tails, hands, weapons, even increased their feet and heads. Even after all that, they didn't print well and didn't have that older GW feel. 

 In a Telegram Group, called STLHammer Workshop, I found these #Acolyte_Globadiers . They were a little too detailed (and really difficult to work with in Blender). I chose two different models increasing the size of weapons, heads, hands, feet, tails. I removed the tiny tanks that lead to main tanks. I used only one tanks for both models, and sunk that tank into the bodies of the Globadiers I kept. I removed extra tubes to simplify the model, since I knew I would shrink the model down a little. I probably will just stick with these as they are painted and look good. Lots of brass, Yellow Globes for throwing, same green robes as the Priests & Plague Censors. Of coarse, pink noses, ears, and tails.

Next we need a Clanrat Champion (later to be hero and eventually Chieftain). I may eventually replace this guy, but I found a group of older skaven guys that I used for a variety of mini's (Jezzails, Warpfire Throwers, Plague Monks, Plague Priests, and this Champion). 

 I used the model near the bottom left. 

 Next we need some Blunderbusses. These and the Bull Centaurs came from Tonoborus again. I painted these like the normal chaos dwarves I did earlier, Red, Gold, and Black. 

I did end up increasing the size of the Bull Centaurs, since I have Cavalry bases. I also found a few extra shield designs to add some variety.

This completes the Level 2 Monster Encounter Table. So here is a quick video of all the monster needed for it.

 

I'm up to 364 monsters painted, 530 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 6/5/25. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
