I have done quite a bit of painting over the past few days, including finishing the knight of Dol Amroth banner bearer, a warg and his rider, and others.
Here is the KODA's base:

And the finished KODA:

A close up of the banner:

I started on my knight Champion, only the face is done:

The finished warg and rider:

The base:

As said before, I got these wargs used, so the path was already sculpted on(it used to be a stream) and I just added the sand ,and tweaked it a bit, then painted it.
And last but not least, I got started on my plastic Legolas:

Sorry I couldn't have posted some of these sooner instead of cramming them all in one big post, but some things have happened that are preventing me from posting them any sooner. But I will try my best to get them posted as soon as possible.
Enjoy!

The blue on the knight of dol amroth is very good. It's all very neat and the banner looks excellent. Your whites, especially on the horse look a little rough so you may want to add a few layers, that's just how white works.
You got to a good start on the others, I really look forwards to seeing them all done.

I really like it!
Most of all the face of the Knight Champion and the bases.

There are just a few things that i saw... but i couldnt do them better either i guess :-D

Else then that i really like it and most of all your paintings! That flag looks amazing!

@Dwarf Lord of Ered Luin, Thanks! I will try to touch up on the whites.
@Farmer Giles of Ham, thanks to you as well! I also noticed those things you mentioned, but I guess I was to excited to paint them, I didn't clean, or touch anything up. I think it's a little late to do all that now though, but I will try to remember to do that when I want to paint him again. As for the path, I forgot to mention that it would most likely be more like a side path that only a few peaple(or orcs) used.
I have also done some more painting the past couple days, and am fairly pleased with how most of them turned out.
I was able to finish the Champions armor, and I really like how it turned out.

I finished Legolas' hair, and the green cloth. Sorry if this picture is a bit dark.

And I also wanted to redo my easterling banner.

I've also been experimenting with a lighter color of skin on my next warg rider. I sorta like it, but I doubt I will paint any other orc this bright of green.

I also pretty much finished a dwarf warrior, but I forgot to take pictures of it.

Enjoy!

nice paint job specially on the trol he looks really good!

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Mon Jun 28, 2010 1:49 am

Thanks! The troll was a ton of fun to paint. I did some more painting on several different mini's, but I only got pictures of one of them, which just so happens to be the troll. Actually, it's more like the trolls base, but there's not much difference :-D

. Okay, so here is what I did.

Please leave your comments, or suggestions, and, as always, I hope you enjoy!

Hahaha! LOVE the crushed Swan Knight (:shock:), very nice touch!

Everyone else is looking pretty good too, the warg riders especially.

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Mon Jun 28, 2010 1:48 pm

lol, thanks! I had quite a bit of fun with it. Just to let y'all know, I am going to be out of town for a couple of days, so I won't be able to check back here for a little while. I was able to get some pics of the other things I am working on, so here they are.
First up is the Easterling banner. I've only done the serpant and the edges, after I finish the back, I will clean up the rest of the banner.

Next is my dwarf warrior.

Last, but not least, is the warg and it's rider.

Enjoy!

Nice work on them all. In my opinion the green skin on the warg rider is too bright but the warg looks great. You may want to try taking your pictures with the minis a little further away and make your pictures a little smaller as generally it makes the pictures a little clearer and we can get a better idea of what the miniature actually looks like.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Tue Jun 29, 2010 8:19 am

There's some really nice painting in this thread, especially for how quickly you seem to manage to paint them.

The Uruk-Hai and the Troll are my favourites but all of it's great painting and the armour on the Dwarf is very nice. Is it NMM or not? I can't quite tell from your pictures.

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Thu Jul 01, 2010 3:32 pm

Thanks for the comments!
@Dwarf Lord of Ered Luin, thanks! The warg was fun to paint. As I said before, I was experimenting with the green, so I wasn't really expecting anyone to like it. I think I will keep it this way for now, but I will most likely never paint an orc that bright of green again. As for the pictures, I try taking them close up so all the details can be seen, but I will try taking them a bit farther away. I'm still working on my photography, so that is probably why a lot of my pics are really bad.
@Red Corsairs, thanks to you, too! The troll was a lot of fun to paint, I really enjoyed it. The Uruk-Hai were actually quite a pain for me to paint. I really like Uruk-Hai, but highlighting the edges of the armor was really frustrating, especially on the helmet. And for the dwarf, it depends on which one you are talking about. The one on the first page is NMM, but the one on the second page isn't, sadly. I will try to get better pictures of the NMM dwarf. Actually, I just did a bit more work on it, so I might be able to post some pics of it soon.
Also, in case you were wondering, the banner on the easterling is NMM as well.

ummm.... No. The omly thing I would even THINK about photoshopping is the back round. In fact, I barely even know how to use photoshop. :lol:

I was able to take a few pictures of my NMM dwarf, and my Easterling banner.

As always I hope you enjoy!

I really like what you did with the dwarf's shield. The NMM on his armour is very good. The white on the shoulder plates is very good but on the back, and a few other places, the white patches are a little too big and create too much contrast. I would suggest you paint over some of the white bits and either paint in on again more carefully or leave it off. You've done a very good job with him but I know that you can make him better.

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Sun Jul 04, 2010 10:26 pm

Ya, the shield was a lot of fun to paint, even though it was a little annoying. Thanks for your advise on the armor, it is much appreciated. I did do some more work on the armor, but I hadn't seen your post in time to fix it. In fact, I think I mad it a little worse. I will be sure to fix it though. I also finished the rest of the dwarf, as well as my other dwarf, and I finished my Easterling's banner, and added some NMM gold trim to the cloth. I think I might have got a bit carried away with the trim though. I also did some more work on my knight Champion, which is coming along nicely. Sorry about the bad pictures, especially of champion, it's kind of hard to see the free hand, not that you need to see it because it's really bad. The dwarf pics are really bad too, I was in a bit of a hurry, and the camera was acting weird.

Please comment and suggest, and enjoy!
