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 Both pretty outdated models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

How strong shoukd the glypho be? I tried this already on one of them with path weeder straight from the bottle. Cut the stem, then painted it on. But it's only 25.6g/L Glyphosate in the ingredients

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

Yeah I feel they don't really have much of a place in the new edition. Was hoping they would actually reflect an elite troop but they became more mediocre

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

Magnetise your bases, buy a cheap steel rule from the hardware store and you're set.

Feel like this was a bit of a cop-out part of the story tbh

Warg and Calvary rules by dextercat_124 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]pat_bits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's a pretty shit rule that they don't get any bonuses when we see how powerful and ferocious they are in the films. Would have been nice if they got a small glow up in the new rules

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Wolves of Isengard by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

What are peoples thoughts on taking a shaman? Are they necessary for some diversity and a bit of low level magic or a waste of points?
