I'm on a bit of a fantasy kick recently, what with
Journeys in Middle Earth,
SAGA: Age of Magic, and
Game of Thrones (no spoilers please!). Here's the baddies from
JiME:
 |
| Ruffians |
 |
| Goblin Scouts |
 |
| Orc Hunters |
 |
| Orc Marauders |
 |
| Hungry Wargs |
 |
| Wights |
 |
| Hill Troll |
I enjoyed batch-painting these figures in their bite-sized quantities. I used Army Painter Oak Brown and Leather Brown with Vallejo 337 Highlight German Black (which is a dark brown) as three brown colours in rotation for their clothing and equipment, then Army Painter Gunmetal to weapons and armour, then Army Painter Strong Tone wash. I did the orcs and goblins with various green/ brown skin tones. I did the wargs following my '
How to paint wolf pelts' guide. I really appreciated the Hill Troll; he's got great muscular anatomy. I added a 40mm base to the wargs and troll.

I have a number of orcs and trolls to paint myself so I shall copy your method.

DeleteFantastic work Barks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nath!
DeleteGreat looking bunch of middle earth types, the troll and wargs are fab! Your usual excellent finish. So are they a little smaller than the GW range?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
