I fulfilled my oath. I have begun the next series for Middle Earth Mondays! Welcome to the Battle of Pelennor Fields tutorials. This box set covers a really cool wide range of models so I'd love to know what you'd most like to see next, and if you'll be joining along! What say you??
After the insanity of my workload last week, I started with something simple today, which I genuinely think might be the easiest army to paint in all of tabletop gaming? Hope you enjoy this super effective tutorial, and it acts like a great launch point for your box set if you're looking for a nice early win, like I needed today!

I love seeing you tackle simple and achievable tabletop armies. Not jaw dropping golden demon models or single space marines to such a high standard you think “yea go on spend another 200 hours on the other 9 men in that squad”. So thanks dude its an absolute breath of fresh air for content ❤

Hahahaha yes exactly! I don’t think any of those guys have armies to play with, even though their work is stunning, they’re just in a different part of the hobby than army painters! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

7:34 my original models I did with Nihilakh Oxide and white drybrush, but seeing this I might have to go back and repaint them.

That sounds awesome too though! It’s all about what tone you like best, there’s no right or wrong colour if you’re happy with them!

Loving the return to Middle Earth - I started my Pelenor fields box but have been wantinng to get back. (My Army of the dead are hexwraith flame and white drybrush - but really god shout on the metal, wish i’d done that). As for Model - the Witch King is my favourite from the box

@MediocreHobbies Жыл бұрын

Yeah I think the box came out at a strange time for all of us and it was hard to get it finished for some of us! Yeah I think the witch king will be pretty popular to see done!

Great video! As someone who doesn't enjoy painting, I really love simple but effective paint jobs like this. They're oddly satisfying. I'm going to start a Chaos Space Marine army soon with a similar scheme, but just with some dry-brushing like you mentioned, and some airbrushed glowy bits.

I think I used the original version of Hexwraith Flame when I did my Army of the Dead miniatures - and again, it was super simple with a light ulthuan dry brush over it at the end I think. And it looks great! One of my favourite instagram posts is my Three Hunters leading the charge with the army of the dead and King / Heralds to mimic the landing scene in the RotK.

Oh I will definitely be covering it, counting down the spilt seconds til it’s released even though I already have a million models I could be working on for it right now! I love it’

Do you varnish in Matt or satin ?? Looks great and the best video I’ve watched on painting these mini 👍🏻

Nether. No varnish is used.

Hey Andy love your LOTR content! How much would you change or add for the new King of the Dead with Heralds models? I would say a video may be needed but I fear it could be a waste of your powers 😅 Thanks again mate

Just personal choice, you could easily do that with leadbelcher if you wanted!

@ZodiusXx Жыл бұрын

Sure its fast but it loooks boring. If I may offer a more vibrant method. 1. Prime bright white 2. Apply tesseract glow 3. Light dry brushing of white 4. Apply Pylar Glaciar 5. Light dry brush white again Super easy and looks way more vibrant and interesting.
