[PAINTING] September Painting Challenge: Warbands

Looking good Sid, but the brightest parts of the golden armour look a bit flat, maybe a bit of shading with reddish brown would give them more definition? But anyway, they are still very good the way they are now.

Here is an update on my work:

I have just spray-painted the knights silver. Some progress on the horses from last update: the skin and hair are now finished and other details are basecoated. Some shading and highlighting and I'll be done with them (I really don't like painting horses).

Here some wip pics:

Just a few more bits and pieces(and a banner) to do. Got a feeling im going to come to a crossroads when finishing these models, deciding whether to up my game with highlights or to just take a damn photo and get stuck into the rest of my 100 model backlog!

Great looking orcs! Love the skin tone & highlights of the one in the last photo!

Do the highlights! You'll feel better about them, trust me.

A late entry — models just primed as of September 21st — and they're cavalry too! Wish me luck!

I don't actually play LOTR, because everyone around here plays other games. But I love the models and so I'm slow building a Mordor force. Surely 8 painted warg riders will come in handy one day, right?

(One of these wargs had surgery previously.)

Great entrances as always! I really like hour entry Bilbo!
I might join, but I don't know if I'm in time, but we'll see xD

Some small progress made: the wargs are now base coated:

And then some darker shades on top, lighter shades below:

Wow! those wargs look nice! :yay:

@ Sidthesloth, might I suggest a wash? It would give them so much more depth...

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Sun Sep 23, 2012 7:00 pm

ive done a wash now. I'll show all in the next elven update.

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2012 12:25 am

Some great work so far!

I've come to a sad realization that I won't be able to complete my entry. :sad:

Tomorrow I leave for a two week trip to Thailand and must leave the models home. I planned to finish them tonight and tomorrow morning but there's so much to do for this trip that there's not much time.

I'll post pictures of how close I was before I leave. I don't want a rushed finish since I've put so much effort into them so far. So I will finish them upon return.
I'll be watching though as often as time permits. Best of luck to all!

Safe trip Wah Wing!

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:11 pm

@tomogui, those are some of the coolest looking Wargs I have ever seen :yay:

Though you will probably have forgetten I even entered, what wih my dissappearance an' all, here is my finished entry:

PS if there's too many pics feel free to remove the 7th one down.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:15 pm

very nicely painted banner!

that is one (or two) angry troll!

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:20 pm

Thanks Bilbo!

So here is where my models stand. I truly felt like this could have been a grand entry for me, but now it won't be finished in time.
Anyway, here are the pictures as promised.

Really proud of the banner. I wanted it to represent Boromir's quote, "By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe!" so I added the armoury equipment to the banner to try and show that. We'll see if I can paint it the same on the opposite side of the banner.
Sad I can't finish them till later but there are other challenges I can do. Hope you like them so far.
Now finish those entries!
