Hey all!

I bought a box of Grimhammers, but I don't really know how to paint them. I try to stick to painting them like they appear in the movie, but the parts with the dwarves of Erebor in them, are really dark and I can't make clear which colour their ''clothes'' are. I know Games-Workshop paints them black, but it creates a quite boring mini.

Anyone has tips? I have seen some screenshots from the movie/blogs and it looks like they have a darkish brown colour.

Would much be appreciated! :)

Oh and hi to all since I'm new to the forum!

Harfoot has painted some really nice grimhammers here viewtopic.php?f=50&t=22446&start=60

He steered clear from the black scheme gw went for and I agree with you both its a bit boring. Hope this helps seeing them in a different colour. Welcome to the one ring aswell :)

If you want to stick to the movie, take a dark brown for the cloth: http://www.herr-der-ringe-film.de/v3/me ... 112696.jpg

As Green_Dragon said, harfoot did a nice job on his grimhammers. And you could also have a look at HvM's which are very inspirational: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=25152
