Hello all!

So, whilst finishing off the Grey Company, I'd love some tips, guides and inspiration on the following models, as I received my first 6 riders of rohan through the post today!

Horses
Eomer
Erkenbrand
Riders of Rohan
RRG
Sons of Eorl

Any tips especially on what paints I will need as I'm guessing I'll be firing GreenDragon a PM for some more :) ??

Some dark greens for the cloaks (I use Orkhide Shade and Dark Angels Green, although those are from the old line), a range of browns, a silver and a gold. Black and brown washes are indispensible, and I like flesh wash for skin and, believe it or not, gold. Obviously a red tone for Eomer and Erkie's shield.

Don't be led to believe you need every colour in the range; mixing up to darker or lighter tones of the same shade works wonders. I recommend using either Bleached Bone or Rotten Flesh to create lighter tones; white will often take away from the brightness.

I recommend Caliban Green (Dark Angels Green) and Castellan Green (Catachan Green) for the basecoat, and highlight with Warboss Green (Goblin Green) or Deathworld Forest (Gretching Green)

I have a guide on my blog (about three quarters of the way down the page) which may help you (it has the names for both the new & old paint colours):

I also plan on adding some guides on how I painted my horses soon.

The conversion chart may help you for painting guides that use the old range: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus ... sion_Chart
