Smoke Ring Miniatures

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 friends! And Welcome to my first October post (or should I say Orctober??). This one will be a long awaited promise: I'll be testing the Army Painter's Quickshade making use of the proper dipping method, suggested by the danish company. I'll be showing you a tutorial with all the steps I've followed, and then I'll review the final product. So, before long... What's the Quickshade? It's a product from the Army Painter that assumes the role of quickening the painting sessions for those of us who want, more than anything, to play the game instead of spending great amounts of time painting miniatures, and still have great looking mini warriors on the tabletop. It is a mix of a shade and a gloss varnish, so you'll end up with a completely shaded and varnished model, with pretty good results for such an easy method. Their suggested process is fairly simple: Basecoat the miniature Dip it in the 250ml. can and shake the mode...

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.

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...

Hi everyone! Well, four months after my latest post, a university break enables me to turn my attention to the blog  once again (for a short stand though). For the first post of 2018 I'll be presenting Sméagol/Gollum. This miniature is part of the BGiME magazines (came with the number 63) and was painted about two months ago, but due to lack of time it has been waiting on the shelf for photos and varnishing all this time. So, who is Sméagol? " Ghoul and former Hobbit. Gollum was once a Hobbit of the Stoor strain called Sméagol, who was born not far from Gladden Fields in the Vales of Anduin. In 2463 of the Third Age, Sméagol's cousin Déagol found the One Ring while fishing and Sméagol immediately murdered him for it.  The power of the Ring lengthened Sméagol's life, yet it warped him beyond recognition. Thereafter he was called Gollum because of the nasty, gutteral sounds he made when trying to speak.  Description from Dav...
