I Just finished these three. I may add some more detailing to the armor a bit but not sure. Opinions?

Nice! I like that blue tone in capes! Maybe do basing next and see how you feel about them after that? So much spiky armor, looks challenging to make it all read! Good work!

If anything I'd go for a glazing over the armor to bring the highlights down a hair, but they look good as is. Good job

Thanks! Im thinking of doing a gravel base and brush it grey. It would go well with these colors and the other colors I have planned for my army.

Any particular glaze you suggest? I could always use a water downed nuln oil shad like I did previsously

I think as they are, they're fantastic, the armour highlighting is clean and clear, and the shadowy cloak is very nice.

These are superb, I love these miniatures and you've pulled off a really talented paint job!

If I were painting these, I'd consider a very subtle layer of Nihilakh Oxide on the most raised folds in the material, to add a certain ethereal quality to the miniatures. But if that's not the sort of thing you're aiming for ignore me.

Thanks! Its funny you mention that because I did try that and it didnt work out very well with it. I need some more experience with that paint I think. I plan to use it on the 9 named ringwraiths I have. That should be a fun project

I'd use a dark brown, like the Agrax Earthshade wash but a regular GW paint such as rhinox hide. You mix 1 part paint to 4 parts acrylic medium and 4 parts glaze solution

Always love seeing these painted up and I like the ghostly feel you've given them with the colour choice on the cloaks.
