    The way you painted up that regular warrior and made him into a captain blew me away. Really impressive how much he stands out purely with a paint job, no special base, no unique pose, just paints. Kind of has me thinking it would be cool to participate in a big Battle Companies campaign and do what you did with that captain, progressively bling out your guys more and more every time they do something noteworthy on the battlefield. Really awesome video.

    @SwordsandBrushes

    That would be such a good idea! You could do something with wargear as the campaign goes on but also amend the paint job too - which would make an awesome and unique story for the individual miniatures as you play more games :) I have some notes for a follow up video on these chaps which will be later down the line, as Minas Tirith was my Christmas onwards army, but with the new release of the box set - i'm bringing that forward a touch! :):)

Your video on the Army of the dead was really cool, I liked the non-box art approach to the army as it looked kick ass! Something I might say would be really cool to see would be doing free-hand techniques. I'm hopeless with it anyway as my hand shakes too much but it would be cool to see the amazing banners you can come up with

    PR122 magenta + PY74 yellow = peach. Peach + PW4 zinc white makes a transparent highlight colour which can build up over a few layers to make a seamless flesh highlight.

    Awesome. I just started painting these with the Pelennor Fields set. This is going to be my go to channel for LOTR's painting. These results are so good. I would like to check out the Morannon Orc video but I don't see it in your video list, maybe its just me heh

    I have been using your content to paint my armies after around 12 years away from all this and, oh boy, it does make a difference! Iโ€™m enjoying like a kid! May I suggest that in future videos, together with the paint you are using, also adding what brush you used for it? It would be personally really helpful since Iโ€™m still struggling with brush sizes :)

Thank you for the idea to make the videos better :):)

    oh fantastic news, welcome back! :) How come the long break? There are a variety of starter paint sets as well as larger sets out there. For me and these videos i use Army painter and they have quite a number of sets to get you going. Depending on price, something like the "Wargames stater set" is great as it has a few colours and a brush. amzn.to/3XTO4BG And also a larger set the "Mega paint set" which has a lot more paints in there amzn.to/3Ds0E2G (looks like this is on offer at the moment too - so great value!) Hope that helps a bit! :):)

Looking forward to getting back into it but have to admit to feeling a bit daunted as the miniatures are a lot smaller than I remembered, or that could be because I was younger and smaller back then ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    You can do the old sand and paint method, for a slightly quicker result some textured paint would work well also. Im working on a short video today which can be used for Minas Tirith and that will have a cobbled street look to it :)
