Wow nice ring. I like your goblin king but can you zoom in the figures? It's a shame because I cannot make out a lot of their details and I am sure they are worth looking at. (I really liked your Uruk xbowmen from your older post).

Man now I really want to paint and start my own WIP thread...

Fantastic goblin king! I love the mean/angry look in his face. And your painted eyes add a lot to that.

Nice work, well done! I like your goblins, which means alot 'cause I'm not to fond of the pale skin, but yours look great!

Nice tone on these goblins, pale yet still look grubby

I grew tired of painting goblins, so I painted my eagles.

ElfLover · **Posted:** Sat May 04, 2013 12:48 pm

Love the feather texture on those eagles :yay:

Rognarr · **Posted:** Sat May 04, 2013 2:01 pm

Wow! That's some pretty cool variety in there! I love the one with the big white patter, looks very natural! Well done Reto!

Wow, those eagles look great - lovely work!

Do you mind me asking what colours/techniques you used? I'm about to start my own Hobbit eagles in a week or two and am trying to assimilate as many different opinions as possible!

Keep up the good work

To be honest I was inspired by another member of this sites eagles, but forgot his name.
I used scorched brown for the body and parts of the feathers;
and a drybrush of bestial brown.
For the first eagle I painted the rest of the feathers white and and a brown ink. At least 3layers of white and ink.

Second eagle, for the midwings I used scab red and a drybrush of mephiston red.
And the last part of the wings bestial brown with another highlight of a light brown color and a second one of white.

At last I have some time to paint.
I finished my goblin army, three full warbands:

I also tried painting Gandalf with the layering technique. The result is not bad, but not good either. Comments and critics are very welcome

Great Goblin Army!

Good start with the layering technique, just keep practising. I look really good for the first time!

John Wayne · **Posted:** Wed Jun 26, 2013 12:24 pm

Ooh like your eagles, great feathers! Everything else looks good too :yay:

Reto · **Posted:** Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:43 am

I finished some more models. So Bilbo: I like really like how his coat turned out. I used once more the layering technique. Sadly I can't take better pictures, there is just not enough light in the room.

I was afraid for Dwalin after some basecoats, but eventually he turned out ok, I think.

And for Thorin, I don't know. I'me disappointed by him. His face just wouldn't work for my, I tried to ajust the eyes a few times but I just can't get it right. Also the layering of the tunique could much better.

So C&C please

I hope I can see them 'live' next week :yay:
