This miniature was a pleasure to paint, i really hope gamesworkshop will continue to produce this super high qualitĂ  new plastic range for lotr/hobbit characters! A lot of characters (if not all) deserve this treatment, i hope we will see also some evil one in the future (my hope it's a new Gothmog.... a man can dream :) )

Hope you like it:

Nicely done! I wish they had a paint job like this on the forgeworld website. You can really see the detail in the face here.

Beautifully done. May I ask how you painted the face?

Thanks guys!
@Feanorthenoldor: sure, the step are more or less this:
- Base ratskin flesh + white 60-40 (i use white from vallejo model color)
- add white for the first light
- agrax shade on everything (stay soft and controlled, best if mix with lahmian medium)
- shade/glaze with doombull brown very diluited in the recess/darkest zone
- get back to the first light
- add more and more white in the lighter zone until you want/you fell satisfied

I agree. I must buy this model? How much for it, with the paint on it? Just kidding, I blew all my money on wargaming already.That texturing is amazing... You should paint for GW. You make people want to buy their models.

Very nice colors. Can I ask for the colors of the roves? Cape and undertunic. Thanks

As other have already mentioned, this is a much better paintjob than GW's. You really managed to bring life to that face. The eyes are great in particular. I also love the robes.

I think this is so close to perfection that I can offer some constructive critizism regarding what I do think look subpar. I think the shade below the cheeks are a bit too dark. Especially since the beard right next to it is not as dark. I think there could be larger constrasts on the sword to make it look more shiny. Lastly I think the hair looks a bit flat, but I suppose that is the way the model is molded. Maybe free-hand som invividual straws of hair?

Those are just my remarks based on those pictures. Again, pretty close to perfection. However, do base it. :P
