Post subject:  Painting the Middle-Earth
Hi! This is the first time I publish something here. I subscribed some time ago and now I decided to show some of my miniatures!
I'm painting some Uruk-hai and some Warriors of Rohan at the moment. Very soon I will receive some new models from LOTR and The Hobbit.

This is an Uruk-hai warrior I painted recently and I have to make the base. The only thing that I don't really like is the White Hand symbol, but I didn't want to repaint the shield, so I leaved it like that.

Then I painted this Warrior of Rohan and this time also the base. :-D

Very nice - The weathering on the cloak and the nice blood splatter on the shield really add something!

I really like the blue armour of the uruk. It contrasts well with his skin.

Thank you guys! Yesterday I worked on the bases of my models and I hope to finish today. I will probably post other pictures during the day.

I am curious what it is that you think is wrong with the White Hand symbol. It looks good to me. I imagine that is the way they are meant to look. I mean, it is not like Saruman had some sort of sigil he printed the armours with, right? The symbols were made by hand of the orcs themselves?

For the Uruk-hai, I am a big fan of the blood splatter! I had the same situation as you on a similar model where I painted the white hand but immediately regretted it. I think yours is good, also the blood splatter makes the hand seem more hidden. Hair contrast looks great and the finish on the skin is nice. It's not my style but I admire it and want to try to achieve it on a few of my models.

For the Rohan model, the wood on the spear is mesmerizing! I have tried this effect in the past but my lighter lines are always too straight, yours almost make it seem as if he has an elven spear... if that makes any sense.

I had to wait the moderator to approve my message and now I think I can post without waiting. :D

@slinky - Thank you! Making historical models helps a lot when you have to add weathering!
@GreatKhanArtist - Thank you! It was something new I wanted to try and I think that if you use the right color without exaggerating, you can achieve a good result.
@Alhvar - I think the hand it's a bit too big and too regular. Yes, I think the white hands are made by the orcs and I this is why they should not be regular like mine.
@draked - I'm glad you like the way I painted it. I paint all my miniatures this way since roughly two years. The process is the following: base color, wash, base color again leaving the wash in the recessses, 1 highlight and effects (blood, rust, oxyde...). For the wood on the spear I used size 0 brush and I slowly painted a line, then I turned the model and restarted painting in other way.

Yesterday I finished to paint two Berserkers and also the base for the Uruk warrior. I also tried to paint the base border with a light brown (XV-88) and I think it's a fantastic color for these purpose. Way better than black!

Nice berserkers. And the overall impression of the uruk in the middle is much better after it has been properly based. Not that it was in any way bad before.

Hmm, maybe a troll lent its hand..? I would not worry too much about it.

Keep it up!

Great work on the Uruks all around!
The goblin looks as nice as a goblin can look :wink: The purple wash (?) is a little too abrupt for my taste, the base is really amazing though 8)

Post subject:  Re: Painting the Middle-Earth
Hi guys, finally I'm back! I have not painted for a while and 2-3 weeks ago I started painting again. I painted a Warrior of Rohan with sword and I nearly finished another Uruk-hai warrior (I will show this when it's completed). I paint also other stuff not related to LOTR/The Hobbit, so I will not update very often this post ahahah

Thank you and sorry for the late answer! I'm really happy you like the base. It was my first attempt at making something more advanced than the other bases.

Hi guys! In the last months I painted some new miniatures. I also worked on some other stuff not related to LOTR/The Hobbit.

Somehow I missed your post with the goblin last year. I hope it's not too late to encourage you to keep going with both your boxed sets, you're doing a great job!

Hi guys, it's been a while since I published an update. I just stopped painting for a really long time. I needed a pause and I now I'm ready to start again!
I don't paint only LOTR/The Hobbti miniatures, so it's difficult to update this post frequently.
I know a lot of time has passed, but I want to thank
@Drumstick
@Cave Dragon
@GreatKhanArtist
@Stealer0327
for the support.

Today I can only show you Legolas from the set Heroes of the Helm's Deep. I hope to finish also another miniature (Lindir), but I'm having some problems with the base, because I made something different.
