You definitely pay attention to light source better than I do. Very well done so far.

+1 to what Sith said.
Keep it up.

Thanks! Sorry for taking so long, I was trying to get some decent pictures of this one. They turned out alright, but they are a little too bright.
This one was a ton of fun to paint, it had a little bit of everything, and I just really like the Rohan models.

I hope you like it, I may post more pictures later that are hopefully a bit better.

Looks ok but I feel you have my issue, my photography never makes the figure look as good as it is IRL.

looks good!

wow, your rider is so much better than mine. Really nice work.

The painting is super awesome.

I can tell by the shadow in the picture that you have a single light hitting the model which creates false highlights and shadows...
I would try to get two or make a milk jug light box so you avoid this issue. We all know that you spent time making the highlights and shadows very accurate.

Thanks! @Sithious, I took those pictures outside, but as you can tell it didn't work as well as I was hoping.
I went back to my old picture set up, so here are some better pictures of the rider as well as the finished Easterling captain.

Hope you all like them!

Your blendings are perfectly executed!

Thank you! I've almost finished my second rider, I just have to finish up the shield. The horse is from the other rider if you couldn't tell, I haven't finished the second one yet.

Some of the pictures are a little out of focus but you can still see it pretty well.

Your riders look great but I think the horses are the star, you've done an excellent job on them. And that dismounted Captain is incredible. He looks too good to remain a mere captain for long

Photos are a touch a dark but the rider looks like another great job from you.

Fantastic painting. Gemstones are getting better buddy.

Thanks guys, appreciate it

I've finished the second rider, and I got some warriors of minas tirith a week or two ago and painted a test figure( I actually painted four, but the first three were awful).

I've also been working on some other things, I'll try to post some pictures later.

Looks really great!

Some very very little critic:
- the rider seems as if he fall of the base because he is so close to the edge of the base

They look really good

Lovely clean painting mate

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Thu Oct 16, 2014 5:27 pm

Nice and clean, I like the rohanic shields.

Thanks guys @Advario, I have to agree with you, I'm not sure why I chose to put it there, but oh well, it doesn't look too bad.
Here is a quick update, I'll post more pictures when I can get some better ones.

So yeah, like I said, more pictures later.

Wonderful color scheme on this last guy! It's vibrant, and still clearly communicates the desert theme. Combine that with your excellent painting skills, and you've got a great little model.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:07 am

Looks great. I agree with Erunion, very vibrant colour scheme.
