I like the colours you've used on Shagrat, nice dusty tone to the cloth and hair, and the skin too.

Nice Anngmar/Morgul banner bearer too, I tried painting a design like that on my Carn Dum banners but it came out wrong.

Not sure if this will help you with your banner (you might have done it already), but I've put together a little (picture guide) to show you what you could do to get it like that (although you might want different colours).

I've now started assembling my dragon, but I need to finish my Dwarves first before I start painting.

Some Dwarf Warriors, with cloaks sculpted on. They're a bit rough, but overall I'm pleased with how they turned out. I hope to practice sculpting more in the future (and get some sculpting tools)

Clever stuff with those cloaks Chris - you'll be doing Ukfreddy out of work in no time :wink:

You've got the basic principle there Chris. If you had a cone clay shaper you would really notice the difference, both in easiness to sculpt and results.

The banner is amazing and thanks a lot for sharing the design with us!

The dwarves are looking very good aswell, keep it up!

I plan on getting some proper sculpting tools, a hobby knife just isn't cutting it (no pun intended)

I've got a few ideas for the next banner, although my favourite one is the hardest to do

I really really like those sculpted cloaks! Great idea and brilliantly executed. :yay:

I'm going to try something similar.

Awesome work there chris. Nice thick hoods to keep out the cold weather

it makes them look sort of 'elite'.

Cheers Sid :-D

I think I'll probably use them as Iron Hills Veterans when I include Murin and Drar in my army.

Nice work Chris! You're leagues ahead of me in the sculpting department.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Aug 24, 2012 12:15 pm

Nice painting Chris, the cloaks look very nice too, better than my first cloak

Thanks for the step-by-step guide too, I have finished it already, but what a re repaints for

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Fri Aug 24, 2012 12:54 pm

The cloaks seem to have an almost tattered look to them...cool!

Although I'm not really that good yet, I need more practice

Repaints are always good

Although I didn't aim for the tattered look, it's certainly starting to grow on me

As requested some progress on my Dragon, I've only done work on the wings and underbelly so far, and the lighting isn't the best in these pics. Hopefully when I finish him I'll be able to take well lit pictures.

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:00 pm

I feel like I'm back at the green dragon, after a hard days work

very nice dude, looking forward to seeing the finished result.

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:06 pm

Thanks for the answer Chris.

Shagrat, the dwarves and the dragon look stunning! Looking forward to the finished dragon. :-D

Shieldmaiden · **Posted:** Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:26 pm

The work so far looks really good Chris - the highlighting on the wings is really smooth.
