"To me Shirefolk!"
We're super excited to get some more Hobbity action on the channel! Today we have the brave, stout defenders of the Shire, the Hobbit Militia!
These are such characterful sculpts and with a variety of paint schemes you can amass a huge army of Hobbits, each of which feeling unique and truly capture the essence of the lush lands of the Shire. (Which is good because my last 1000 point draft had 126 of them!)
The challenge with Hobbits is trying to balance the bright vibrant colours they like to wear along with a complimentary palette of very rich and naturalistic hues which reflect their homeland.
In this tutorial we'll be showing you how to perfectly capture that balance of paints whilst also showing you how minor variations in the painting can create completely different models even though they're more than likely the same sculpt.
Needless to say i'm trying to quell my desire to start a Hobbit army now but until that bombshell inevitably drops and decimates my wallet we hope you enjoy the video and as always...
Happy Hobbying!!
