Rohan Royal Guard painting help

Hi guys,

I have very recently gotten back into the hobby after stopping many years ago.
As Christmas approached I started to remember one of the best Christmases I'd had was back in school when I was given a huge amount of LOTR boxsets.
This got me suddenly psyched to get down a few figures from the attic, go out and buy a bunch of new paints and have a bit of fun.
Anyway a month or so later and I'm still pretty keen. I've painted up a small group of dwarves and Warriors of Rohan, and recently purchased a few royal guard.

Just wondered if anyone could give me a heads up on the best way to achieve that brilliant green color their cloaks are... I understand its Dark Angels Green mostly. But any tips on the process involved, would be great.

Thanks a lot and I'll be sure to start a WIP thread as soon as I get around to it! I've found this site super useful for motivation and ideas, no idea why I didn't come across this back in the day!

Cheers!

Hey there

I actually have the White Dwarf that came out with the Royal Guard Release and it has an 'Eavy Metal guide for them in it. Assuming I it's not against board policy, I can PM you a pic of just that page if you'd like?

Thanks alot

As I recall the cloak highlight is mixing grey into the dark angels green.

Just a gentle reminder that it's not a good idea to post or request that another member post copyrighted material on the forum. It could get the forum in trouble with the owner of the copyright.

What you all do in your PM box is your own business.
