Hello!

well im new to LoTR/Hobbit (say new iv posted a thread up a year or so ago and well i done nothing with it) but iv took the plunge and ordered myself some Mahud mini's from GW worked out around 500 points wise (i think). im awaiting a nice delivery at my local GW at moment, so on with some wip all iv got at moment is 2 half trolls.

But i did buy this lot and then got bored

well tune in for more madness as i carry on this adventure.

And a big THANKS to paliouras for the Mahud King

been after it for a while

The half trolls look great so far, nice tone for them.
Is Azog's arm supposed to be in the pose? Looks off, thought it was supposed to be a low swing (like a back hand).

Welcome to the WIP work horse. Hope you gain from it.

thanks im pleased with the yellow (desert yellow) flesh tone i done, took a few layers but camera dont do them justice.

i reposed the arm on Azog. filled the gap with greenstuff type of thing.

Nice work. Great yellow tone on those Half-Trolls

Also, a neat re-positioning of Azog's arm. However, I can't help but imagine Azog having just played a beautiful, Federer-style, one-handed backhand winner up the line in the final of the Dol Guldur Tennis Open! :lol:

Not the best pictures But the tester for my skin tone and cloth wip on the red at moment.

Skin tone is excellent.
Red needs work, looks a little flat. You don't need to go much lighter on the extremes but graduate a lot darker into the deepest recesses.

the red is a single layer of GW mechrite red at moment, it will get a wash to darken areas(any tips be great)

Does this fit what you want ?

i like that. please share how

Slight issue as I use Valljo paints.
In a nutshell go for a 3/4 highlight basecoat, something like the old GW blood red. Thin and apply in three coats for a solid base.
Now start your shading by adding a dark brown leaving the base coat as a highlight.
Work to about 50/50 brown to red.
Push the shading using a very thin dark blue.
In the extremes use a touch of thinned black.
For the highlight add a strong orange to the basecoat and apply at the very extremes.
If you note the sleeve I have used a lot of glazing to create the change from the top highlight to the dark shadow beneath.
