just wondered if anyone could proved me with a few links and some advice on how to paint WOMT to a decent standard as mine always end up looking rubbish

check GWs site and use Google to search.

We have a few excellent articles for them aswell in our "Tomes of Wisdom" (tag in menubar top right on forum-pages):

- Warriors of Minas-Tirith by Tidoco
- Warriors of Minas-Tirith by Keyser Soze

Hope they help!

I'll read through them aswell, since I'm working on 20 of those guys myself, and also struggle to get it right...

Thanks for the links very helpful , although the first one is a bit out of my league at the minute

-undercoat black.
-drybrush whole model Boltgun Metal.
-dry brush " chainmail, focusing on raised areas e.g. chainmail, edges of armour plates etc.
-touch up non-metal areas with chaos black.
-paint face with Tallarn flesh, then wash with devlan mud.
-paint leather (straps, scabbard, quiver etc) & wood with scorched brown. Then highlight with bestial brown.
-(if black cloth) paint adeptus battlegrey. wash with badab black. highlight with codex grey.

-then base to personal tastes.

e.g. All my recent LotR & 40K models are given an urban wasteland theme. e.g. the abandoned cities of Fornost & Osgiliath, and your typical 40K city.

-"stain" sand using a liberal coat of Black Ink or moderately thinned down chaos black - enough to make it runny but still keep its coverage. (Black Ink is no longer available unfortunately).
-drybrush sand using codex grey.
-drybrush fortress grey.
-light drybrush bleached bone.
-then I set a few small patches of PVA over the sand and sprinkle Citadel (GW) Dead Grass - the yellow grass flock.

If I was doing a typical green fields base, then I'd use brown ink/scorched brown to stain the sand. Drybrush with graveyard earth, then bleached bone. Then I'd pick one of the healthier looking grass varieties (standard & glade grass).

This is the article I found most helpful when I was painting some of my own. Tims' article is fantastic too, but it requires a lot more painting talent than I have to pull off, whereas this article provides you with a much simpler way of getting an equally fantastic final result (especially if you want to paint a large number of them).
