More great work Randy, very Kev like.

Love the freehand horse head on the cloak. It's well-executed, but subtle.

As said, that is some lovely freehand! Well done!

Thanks guys. Yes I strive in every way to be like Kev! Thanks for noticing all the time!

Sorry JamesR that I hadn't commented earlier on the lava effect! I use Vallejo transparent paints, yellow, orange, and red. Start with a white basecoat and go over it with yellow leaving white showing through in the deepest parts. Now start the transition to orange adding progressively more orange to the mix to complete orange and painting progressively smaller portions. Then do the same for the orange red mix stopping at a 50:50 mix of orange and red. Finally give it a generous dry brush of black over the highest points. The splashes on the rock are done in the same fashion. Just put down your white base coats then add the color.

I hope that helps

Lol - you are funny bro.

Nice work again. Your freehand is phenomenal.

Great work and i cant wait to see smaug built and brought to life!

BillFerny333 · **Posted:** Tue Nov 18, 2014 7:27 pm

I will be sure to post pictures of Smaug when I start him! In the meantime here is my latest:

All NMM again, which is the only way I think I will ever go on Minas Tirith minis. I think it came out better than my last NMM attempt!

I was able to finish this one and sneak in some pics before the light was gone (getting dark as evidenced by the sword looking black)

More excellent work Randy. I think the Gondorian could do with some more contrast on the armour.
Love that grimy warg and rider.

Another couple of excellent miniatures, much like DMS I think your bases really finish off the miniatures and place them within a living world (sort of super-mini diorama).

Here is a Fell Warg with fur from Mr. UKFreddyBills over at Shadow and Flame. Great putty work as always. More details over at PME

Randy, your style is so like Kevs are you sure your not him ?
Shadow and Flame should have another painter, you.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:18 am

Another great job and I wish the Wargs had come looking like that rather than bald look we got.

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 11:46 am

Very nice Randy. That has come out really well.

Harfoot · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 4:20 pm

Great colour scheme on the Warg, original and works really well. Also your NMM work is really good.

Excellent painting here. I really like the fell warg and warg rider - and the freehand on the gondorian cloak is first class.

I commented elsewhere on that fantastic Warg but I must know how you painted it, it's exactly the look I want for mine! :-D

Hey Vincent, I saw your comment over on PME and replied to that. Thanks again to everybody for comments. Here are two more. Full story over at PME
