Funny all the discussion about undercoating, nobody noticed you hadn't done it for the Uruks...

Yeah that's interesting!

I'm back finnaly! Didn't painted anything for 5 months our local store didn't get stocked :S
But i managed to get myself a few rohan guys, and started painting them 1 by 1, and here's a wip of first one:

Sorry if pictures are bad :S

You've done a good job at getting getting the colours to blend smoothly. Would you mind sharing your methods? The colours you have chosen are also quite nice. Great work, keep it up.

Thank you

Here's a tip for back:
First i undercoated it with bleached bone. Then painted two times over it with watered-down Snot Green. Then i mixed 50:50 snot green and codex gray so i gained shadow for it. Also added water to it so it can go smooth. After that i first mixed 50:50 snot green and bleached bone, so i can do some highlights (but not now), painted the whole cloak with it but added more a little more water to get a washed-out effect. Then i added more bleached bone to mix so i can do highlights (about 50:60 green:white), and done final highlights.
I hope this helps if its complicated described tell me i will make step by step tutorial or something xD

It looks good so far!

Good color selection! :yay:

Thank you. That's and interesting technique, I'll have to try it out someday. The warrior looks very nice though the hair and belt are a little too bright. You could give them a wash of delven mud to tone them down or something like that.

Nice painting

but I agree with Dwarf Lord of Ered Luin that the hair and belt need a little work.

So after almost half year of not painting or not doing anything I have finally managed to do some work around xD
So i started painting some rohan riders (pic's soon) painting some of my warrhamer figs, and finally managed do a mold out of my ruin piece and created these 4 base peaces:

And group xD:

I know they are all the same, but ill use them for my standard barriers and captains.

Hope u like them, and btw sorry about bad pics :S
