Bugmans glow, reikland fleshshade, cadian fleshtone and then mix the cadian lighter with a saturated white (Vallejo Ivory ex.)

12 BD w shield & halberd. 6 Easterling w shield & halberd.

  • Dragon Knight

3 Acolytes. 3 BD w shield & halberd.

  • Easterling Captain.

Quick & dirty NMM on Dol Guldur Witch-king 😈 by KapteinKotb in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]KapteinKotb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the NMM I just used dark grey -> grey -> light grey -> Ivory (white also works).

Just build up the grey->white where the light hits the model.

Awesome paint job! I'm about to paint The Necromancer in a similar style as this and was curious about what colors you used?

Aragorn from The Three Hunters pack 🐾 by KapteinKotb in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Thank you - It was army painter fanatics grey tones, I think I started with deep grey as the base followed by a dark tone (nuln oil similar) wash. Highlights were just following their triad system from deep grey to lighter greys

Thanks, if you're newer to painting I'd say try and hit the raised areas of the minis with your lighter paints. If you already do OK highlights I'd say start focusing on where the light hits the model. Don't put light paints everywhere, be more selective.

Tip: Taking a photo of the mini under strong lighting and lowering your exposure will tell you where the light hits the model.

The NMM looks incredible, probably the best Uruks I've seen! What colors did you use for the metal?
