We have a few excellent articles for them aswell in our "Tomes of Wisdom" (tag in menubar top right on forum-pages): - Warriors of Minas-Tirith by Tidoco - Warriors of Minas-Tirith by Keyser Soze Hope they help! I'll read through them aswell, since I'm working on 20 of those guys myself, and also struggle to get it right... |

-undercoat black. -drybrush whole model Boltgun Metal. -dry brush " chainmail, focusing on raised areas e.g. chainmail, edges of armour plates etc. -touch up non-metal areas with chaos black. -paint face with Tallarn flesh, then wash with devlan mud. -paint leather (straps, scabbard, quiver etc) & wood with scorched brown. Then highlight with bestial brown. -(if black cloth) paint adeptus battlegrey. wash with badab black. highlight with codex grey. -then base to personal tastes. e.g. All my recent LotR & 40K models are given an urban wasteland theme. e.g. the abandoned cities of Fornost & Osgiliath, and your typical 40K city. -"stain" sand using a liberal coat of Black Ink or moderately thinned down chaos black - enough to make it runny but still keep its coverage. (Black Ink is no longer available unfortunately). -drybrush sand using codex grey. -drybrush fortress grey. -light drybrush bleached bone. -then I set a few small patches of PVA over the sand and sprinkle Citadel (GW) Dead Grass - the yellow grass flock. If I was doing a typical green fields base, then I'd use brown ink/scorched brown to stain the sand. Drybrush with graveyard earth, then bleached bone. Then I'd pick one of the healthier looking grass varieties (standard & glade grass). |

Tims' article is fantastic too, but it requires a lot more painting talent than I have to pull off, whereas this article provides you with a much simpler way of getting an equally fantastic final result (especially if you want to paint a large number of them). |
