CyberAlien's Stuff - Morgoth and High Elves (page 3)

Long time since I've had any update, so today I thought I might add some pictures to this thread.
For this month's painting competition I painted this Gil-Galad:

And because I had some High elven warriors lying around, I thought I might as well paint those in the same colour scheme. So here they are:

And I also painted a toy figure to represent Morgoth (or Sauron, if necessary). I think he turned out pretty well:

Comments would be very much appreciated! :-D

Cheers

Wow.. this is awesome! You should show this to Lord Maedhros! He's looking for a Morgoth!!!!

I would say that's a perfect match, well sourced and the painting is wonderful.

It was a Papo toy figure, and it looked like this:

Amazing - I see some other possibilities in that range:

The style is compatible with Middle-earth once you give them a good paint scheme and they are colossally big figures - suitable for Morgoth or Sauron.

My only gripe here is, where is grond hammer of the underworld?

Great idea for Morgoth :-D

I like how you have painted all your elves with that white cloak colour scheme

All are very well [ainted :yay:

Very nice

You could always make a Grond and substitute it for the big mad-looking axe - maybe even build the Grond around the stub of the axe?

That could be a dead Fingolfin on Morgoth's base :-D

Thank you! For the High Elves I used:
Cloaks:
Layer 1: Mix of Dawnstone and Ceramite White
Layer 2: More Ceramite White to the mix
Layer 3: Ceramite White
Gil-Galad has another layer between those, so he has four layers up to white.
Red fabric:
Layer 1: Mix of Abaddon black and Mechrite Red
Layer 2: Mechrite Red
Layer 3: Mephiston Red
Armour:
Layer: Boltgun Metal
Wash: Agrax Earthshade
Highlights: Mithril Silver

I hope that's helpful. Some of the colours named are old colours of which I still have a bottle left, but I'm sure you can figure out which old colour is which new one.

Fariagorn · **Posted:** Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:54 pm

Thanks man! I'm going to start a new army soon and I think I will take high elves in this colour scheme.

Grungehog · **Posted:** Mon Jul 15, 2013 7:47 pm

funny thing is that's basically the same colour scheme I went for, with my noldor

Today I painted this 1980s Citadel Gollum miniature, I think he turned out quite well.

I would appreciate your opinions!

Grungehog · **Posted:** Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:13 pm

couldn't you have green stuffed a loin cloth for the back

Other than that, it's pretty cool.
Good job painting him especially the eyes.

Rognarr · **Posted:** Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:48 pm

haha, looks very cool!
