I’ve kept up the momentum for my Middle-Earth SBG army, and have painted up two more batches of models over the last couple of days: some Iron Guard, and 3 ballistas.
These were all painted following the steps I described in the Vault Warden Teams article, with the exception of a few new items those models the teams did not have.
- Hair: The hair was painted one of three colours, each time in a simple base coat/wash/highlight pattern
- Blond: Mig Zinc Yellow/Citadel Agrax Earthshade/Mig Zinc Yellow
- Red: Vallejo Parasite Brown/Citadel Agrax Earthshade/Vallejo Parasite Brown
- Black: Army Painter Black/Citadel Agrax Earthshade/50-50 Army Painter Black and Vallejo Cold Grey
- Skin: The skin was painted with a base coat of Vallejo Beige Red, washed with Citadel Contrast Guilliman Flesh, and highlighted with Vallejo Elf Skintone
- Wood: The wood on the ballistas was basecoated with Vallejo Leather Brown Primer (my undercoat for all these models), washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade, and highlighted in two stages with first Vallejo Khaki and then 50-50 Vallejo Khaki and Vallejo Bonewhite, with both sets of highlights done in lines in the direction of the wood grain.
I’ve now committed to playing in an 800 point Middle-Earth SBG tournament here in Perth in April, so I now have a goal for these models. I have an 800 point list planned out, and am over half-way to painting it with what I’ve done so far. Hopefully I can finish it this week and work on a display board for them.
