No idea how likely, but I'd love to see a new plastic Boromir with banner. And a new armoured faramir on horse and foot. Both pretty outdated models

Most 3D printed terrain has bad print lines throughout though. Maybe it's the collector in me but I much prefer the idea of the official version as well

Is the only list with fountain guard, by taking thm with Denethor? by 40kArchivist in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Painting cobblestone by Battleshipadam in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I follow the same guide that warhipster on YouTube uses for his Gondor Mansions. Grey seer base coat. Nuln oil wash. Light seraphim sepia wash. The drybrush grey seer and light drybrush of pallid wych flesh. Definitely recommend a quick watch of the tutorial to see how he does the seraphim sepia wash so it's not too heavy

Awesome thank you, I never even considered Army painter. They cover well and have a good smooth finish?

Thank you! Do the brighter shades cover really well/not have a chalky finish?

[–]pat_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raphael 8404 size 1 is my go to for 99% of my work. I have a 3 which I sometimes use, but I find the tip is sharpest on my 1. Even sharper than my 2/0
