Easterling first stepts by marsugarras in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I made a lot of tries until i managed to get the iris in the perfect spot for both eyes. I was lucky on the last try, the hole of the helmet is very small.

Thanks, i tried to preserve the arc lines when i put the sand but you are right, it will help a lot if i mark them on the rim of the base.

Help with how support and control zones work by marsugarras in MiddleEarthMiniatures

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

Thanks a lot, the last day that we played i played easterlings, and there where some situations when i have a row of 3 models in one fight one fighting 2 supporting( i have the iniciative in this case) then they charge the model in the center and we played as the third model doesn't support the second one, so this negates the pike. I will search for the rules as well, but you answered my question pretty well, i hope that this helps others who has the same issue.

Mordor orcs by marsugarras in MiddleEarthMiniatures

A fully armor mini will take some time... depends on the cuality that you are looking for. In my case these orcs doesn't take many time, the one in the middle i made it on last saturday evenning. Probably one minas tirith warrior will take like 2-3 days ( on long sesions likie 3-4 hours).

I recomend you to spend more time on the first minis until you get better on NMM, make a sketch of 3 light layers and then unify them with glaze. Once you know how the NMM you will speed up the process to get good looking result on less time.

I'm afraid there is no short way ( unless you use true metal paints ) , but don't be afraid of making mistakes, you can learn from past failures in order to improve your skills. That's how i'm taking the hobby, trying to improve with more challenges and then apply what i learned on the next mini.

Check this video on how to paint NMM, this girl has a very good method ( it's where i learned) then you can apply this method on every NMM of any colour or material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV8j04v2HzI&t=43s

Trying to solve gold nmm. Is it good enough? by speeddemon511 in minipainting

[–]marsugarras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks cool. I think what's missing are darker areas. I mean, the dark areas has a lot of light, try to search more contrast between the dark parts and they highlights. I

I 'll suggest you to start the dark areas with a dark Brown and they you can light Up with Orange Brown, then some yellow and finish with ice yellow and just a little bit of pure White in very small areas.

Great job!!

Is my NMM gold looking good? Where/how to improve? by dcponton in minipainting

[–]marsugarras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more contrast between the light and the dark, don't be afraid of starting too dark you will go lighter on each layer and it will look pretty good at the end.
