Wow, amazing painting!

thanks for all the replies, if anyone wants colour recipes then feel free to pm me about anything that I paint. The red of the armour is based around Blood Red, it is essentially the same methodology as the one printed in WD for Sergeant Lorenzo with a few tweaks.
Right a quick update, I have all the armour done next I will be adding the damage and weathering,

This next stage always worries me as I can easily muck it up.

The red is so fantastic Tim, aswell as the skull !

Lokking forward to see it finished!

Right I have taken the plunge and started to age this thing, I'm not totally happy yet but I am getting there I think.

The pic shows some parts that can be improved a little and I'll sort those bits out as I go along.

Great job.

For the weathering marks, is it just a deceptive paint job or did you make indentations in the armour? It looks like you made actual marks.

Tim, have you ever considered winning the Golden Demon?

I think he considers it beneath him, and as such is boycotting it. :wink:

I agree, Tidoco puts GW to shame.......

Terrific painting once again. :-D

You perfectionist, you.

Also, he stays out of it to give other painters a shot at winning it. :-D

Thanks guys the battle damage is painted on, I am glad it looks to you like it is actually marked as that is the effect I was going for and on red minis it is difficult to achieve. As for the demons they have never really interested me and to be fair I would have to improve a long way to actually win one. I entered once back in 95 and made the finals on my first and only attempt which was good enough for me. I don't envisage going again but you never know.
the mini is placed on a pin vice this makes this particular mini easier to hold and paint as for how the battle marks are done it is quite easy really just paint a very dark mark and then underline it with your highlight tone.

Lovely work, the skull is great!

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:07 am

Great stuff Tim!

I admire just how neat your painting always is. You finish one bit and only then move to the next one, and then the next one... and there's never any paint over the other areas basecoat. I can't do that!

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Thu Oct 22, 2009 9:25 pm

Really nice miniature Tim!! :yay:

tidoco · **Posted:** Sun Oct 25, 2009 9:21 am

Thanks guys well I'm back again with another update, the tabard is now done and also the purity seals and the crux terminatis. I am pleased with how the mini is going and especially pleased with the crux as this was lacking alot of detail and i had to paint that in freehand, also the cracked effect came out better than I had hoped.

I am also going to try and add cobwebs to the mini when it is on the base that I am planning for it. Hopefully more updates soon.

Fall of Fingolfin · **Posted:** Sun Oct 25, 2009 11:46 am

woah . . . the crux thing is just awesome, did you paint on the cracks?
if you did then that is one of the best ways of doing it ive seen.
do you mind if i ask how you did the dirty cloth?
FoF :-D

Anduril Blade of Kings · **Posted:** Sun Oct 25, 2009 12:53 pm

Awesome, Tidoco!

The marks are still my favorite, they really give it the old and worn-out feel, like it's been sitting there for a little while.

King Elessar the Uniter · **Posted:** Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:30 pm

The tabard is brilliant! The blending is amazing! :yay:

Looking forward to seeing the cobwebs.
