Smoke Ring Miniatures

Mae Govannen! In this post I'll be closing my BGiME journey and give way for the next minis that will be painted. After ending the last five models, that means the whole Battle Games in Middle-Earth journey is finally finished. It has been a great walk, with many pauses, and a lot of growing, and I'm so glad for all of it. From the first models to the last my evolution is pretty clear, and it's a joy for me to behold it! #1 #11 #21 #51 What's next? Naturally, i'll keep painting the Escape from Goblintown box set. The goblins are all done by this time (except the Goblin King) as well as the terrain parts. My intention is to keep the tutorials coming (as I mentioned before, they're more like a progress tracking method for me) for all the dwarves, Gandalf and Radagast, the Goblin King and the goblins (which will surely be the next tutorial i'll make).

Mae Govannen!!! ... and welcome to this blog post dedicated to Théodred, son of Théoden! This miniature comes with the Battle Games in Middle-Earth issue number 65 and it's the last of the series (they've only released 65 numbers in my country), which gets me to have mixed feelings, but I'll surely dedicate a full post to this matter in the future. Who is Théodred? Prince of Rohan and only son and heir to king Théoden and queen Elfhild. Théodred sadly dies while his father's mind is under control of Saruman by the medium of Grima Wormtongue. Prince Théodred was the second marshal of Rohan and commanded the western hosts of his country, being slain by an orc in the first battle of the Fords of the Isen river. Grimbold, one of the commanders at the battle, boldly defended Théodred's body. By Théodred's death, Éomer became the heir to the throne of Rohan.

Mae Govannen! ...and welcome to the tutorial for Théodred's (son of king Théoden) horse. This one will have a medium tone of brown and a small touch of customization (particularly noted on the blanket beneath the saddle). Tutorial This little guy was painted following five simple steps: Hair Hoofs Blanket Saddle and strings Head plate After priming the miniature black I applied a basecoat of Burnt Umber (Vallejo) to the whole hair and saddle. The tail and mane where both then drybrushed with Iraqui Sand (Vallejo) and the highlights and shadows of the rest of the hair were done with Beige Brown (Vallejo) - before and after the shadowing fase - and Agrax Earthshade (Citadel). The hoofs are the simplest of steps: basecoated with Iraqui Sand (Vallejo), shadowed with Sepia Shade (Vallejo) and drybrushed with Screaming Skull (Citadel) - a very light drybrush from the left to the right of the hoof. This step is the one that'll make th...

Mae Govannen! This post will be another small update from what I've been doing lately. First of all, the last BGiME miniature (#65: Théodred and horse) is finished. For this one, I will make two tutorials, one for the character, and another for the horse. Visualizar esta foto no Instagram.

That will have a tutorial (and review) as well along this next week. Visualizar esta foto no Insta...

Mae Govannen! First of all, we're in the end of the so called "hobbit week", which is symbolically marked by the birthday of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins (September 22nd), and I couldn't let the occasion pass without mentioning it on the blog. (P.s.: I've just realised that the "hobbit week" post is the same number of years that Bilbo Baggins is celebrating in the beginning of the book, i.e., 111) As usual, I've started reading the Lord of the Rings by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien this week (I've done so every year since 2011/12, excluding 2017).

Greetings: painters, wargamers and curious travellers! As promised on my last post , here is the tutorial for the Éomer (on foot) miniature. This model came with the Battle Games in Middle Earth 64th issue, and it's the exact same "Éomer" that came with the number 18. So, before we get to the tutorial... Who is Éomer? "Northman, prince of Rohan. Born in 3019 of the Third Age, Éomer was the nephew of King Théoden of Rohan, and like nearly all of his race was tall, strong and golden-haired. Before the War of the Ring, Éomer was a marshall of Riddermark, but through his friendship with Gandalf and his concern about the evil influence of the king's adviser, Grima Wormtongue, he fell out of favour. During the War of the Ring he fought with distinction at the battles of Hornburg, Pelennor Fields and at the Black Gate of Mordor. When King Théoden received mortal wounds on Pelennor Fields, he named Éomer his heir. He became the eighteenth king of R...
