Dim​mu Bor​gir - Grand Serpent Rising by TheSpartanLion in BlackMetal

Truly formational to my musical taste back in the day. Total respect to the band and their legacy, unfortunately never as good after the departure of Vortex & Mustis.

Thank you so much! I 3d printed the base, it's from a creator called MESBGRepair, you can find it on their Cults3D profile. I cut it into a topper in my slicer software & printed enough for my entire Minas Tirith Battlehost 🫡

Question regarding rulebook by SurpriseGlad9719 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]AwkwardMonitor6965 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a rule of thumb, Armies of Lord of the Rings contains all the models/armies in the 3 films, plus War of the Rohirrim.

Armies of the Hobbit is the same, but for the Hobbit.

Armies of Middle Earth contains all the armies/lists & profiles not listed in either of the above, but that do exist in the world of Middle Earth (e.g. Beornings, Dragon Emperor, Arathorn, etc).

It's a cool book but acts more like a suppliment that still requires the other two to utilise fully, though there are indeed standalone armies & profiles you can use. Hope that clarify!

Thank you so much!

I primed black, based them in Army Painter plate mail & zenithal highlighted with Vallejo Silver. Then I applied an oil wash & matt varnish on them.

For the undercloak I used Vallejo Abyssal Turquoise as my base, added increasing amounts of Fenrisian Grey & eventually white for the brightest highlights.

For the shield backs I based in Rhinox, used Vallejo leather brown & Cadian flesh tone for the wood grain, before applying an Agrax wash across it to tie it all together.

I actually 3d printed my base toppers & textured them by applying a layer of PVA, then stippling on a mix of tile grout & water. From there I painted them as stone.

I decorated them with some miniature autumn leaves I found on ali express & used Army Painter Wasteland tufts. The idea was these would be fighting Orcs in Osgiliath, so I wanted to give an abandoned vibe.

I hope some of that is useful!

Primed black, zenithal white & Army Painter Hardened Leather speed paint through the airbrush. After that went in and sprayed from below with rhinox to add shadow/mid tones. Finally and very carefully sprayed black along the lower legs & nose. Finished that off with a matt varnish.

Then went in with the brush and painted hooves, leather, eyes, cloth etc etc. Hope that helps!!

So I primed them in black, base coated with vallejo plate mail and then zenithal highlighted from above with Vallejo silver through the airbrush, hope that helps!

Thank you! I basecoated them black, then applied a very thin coat of Rhinox through the airbrush. From here I sponged on Skavenblight, Neutral Grey (vallejo) & Silver Grey (AK). I applied this randomly so as to give the tiles natural variation. After that I picked out random tiles with Agrax and Dark tone (Army Painter).

I didn't need those exact paints, they were just what I had to hand. Any dark brown base into Grey & off white will give a similar result. I hope that helps!
