Post subject: | The Way is SHUT! The Dead keep it... |
Hello, long time no see etc... Fancied doing something quick and different so I dug out my LoTR Army of the Dead, (Deadmen of Dunharrow) and set to work. ![]() (Mix of undercoated, base coated and first ink wash). I was looking for paint scheme ideas, going for the movie look nothing else. Tested it out a little on my recent deepones. Basically, Grey undercoat, VJ London Grey highlight/drybrush with successive additions of GW Skull white. Faces bare hands and beards further highlighted white. (No need to be too tidy as the wash and final highlight addresses that) ![]() (Note the custom standard bearer finally getting some paint!). ![]() Then a thinned down Thraka Green GW wash, (or two) ![]() Then a final highlight with VJ London Grey + more white. ![]() Very please with them, very quick and easy, but very effective, will get the rest finished tonight finger's crossed then basing. |

Quite nice and similar to how I painted mine, although I think I did a few extra stages with a light green. http://www.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12790&start=160 |

Well here's some shots, just the bases to do when they arrive from Fenris Games, (hopefully, Tues): ![]() ![]() The far left was a axe man, this was missing from the figure, (ebay lot) so raided the middle earth bits box and found part of an elven spear. A quick trim and pin and drill and et vola! ![]() We fight! ![]() Enjoy |

Well the Fenris Games bases turned up before the weekend so a little sanding down, undercoating and paint and they were done. Figures mounted on Sunday. Saw someone do a light mithril silver drybrush on the weapons and mail that worked so I gave it a go. Now all finished and sealed after the final touch up: ![]() ![]() ![]() Shot to show the bases: ![]() Fan cast standard bearer from the One Ring former member Nathan: ![]() ![]() ![]() Enjoyed doing these, nice little diversion.

Looks great! I'm just about to start painting some dead guys aswell! Nathan's standardbearer is really an awesome figure! Nice "cobblestone" bases aswell! |

Cheers, the cobblestone bases are from Fenris Games, nice clean castings and really suit the dwellers of Dunharrow I think: ![]() There's a heroic basing set that I've used with hurst bits and pieces for my Osgiliath games that I'll post once complete. Loads of good stuff there all very useful. Vyper |

Good work on these warriors. Simple yet effective paint scheme. Have you considered adding some plastic warriors of the dead or riders of the dead to this group? |

Yeah I have, was looking at a box last weekend. Don't know if I will, seventeen's enough I think but would be interested in them at some stage. Cheers Vyper |

Excellent work, I like that you haven't overdone it on the green; I think the grey works a lot better. It's far more in keeping with my vision of them in the books at least, great job. |

Nice job on the army of the dead. They look appropriately spectral. |
