Miniature Painting - Lord of the Rings, The Dark Marshal

Today I have just about finished a nazgul for Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. The Dark Marshal to be precise. Im currently spending most of my time building a helms deep terrain feature which will show up on the blog soon.

 The Dark Marshal

(sorry for not cleaning up excessive static grass before taking the picture)

I didn't take pictures during the painting session, mostly because I forgot my camera....

But I started with basecoating the entire model Chaos Black. Then I painted all metal areas Boltgun Metal. After that I painted all the leather straps Scorched Brown and while having the colour out all the gold details with a 50/50 Scorched Brown/Shining Gold mix.

After this I started the cloak which I first re-basecoated in a 20/80 mix of Codex Grey and Chaos Black. Then I made a thick highlight of 40/60 Codex Grey/Chaos Black. Lastly I painted another thin line of highlight onto the edges of the cloak with a 50/50 mix of Codex Grey/Chaos Black. After this step I thouroughly washed the entire mini with Badab Black.

Lastly I highlighted all the edges of the metals with Chainmail and Shining Gold accordingly.
