hi i plan on getting back into the hobby but i dont know the paint schemes for any models. and i know the gw site removed their guides and the 2012 'how to paint citadel miniatures' book seems mainly on warhammer, when you buy a model is there a leaflet or something included showing how to paint???

Hi thare it good people are back in the hobby the way i get scheme for my minis (heros) is copy gw mini on web site never easy or try it ure way my goblin shaman looks cool with blood red hair just like whf goblin shaman or look on ebay for the old paint book hope this may help

In the "Tomes of wisdom" section you can find pretty detailed guides for most of the miniatures in the lotr range..

Only problem you may encounter is, if you got the new paints, you gonna have to use a conversion chart between old paints and new ones.. but it's not a big deal..

yeah, definately try the guides in Tomes of Wisdom. They are a great help and the conversion chart for the new GW paints is on their website so that shouldn't be a problem

Also, if you can't find what you need on 'Tomes of Wisdom' just post a question in the forums and I'm sure somebody will be able to give you advice!
