For that horse, I painted it using elf flesh with a bit of bestial brown. Then washed the whole thing in watered down bestial brown. Then highlighted once again with the mix of elf flesh and bestial brown until only elf flesh was used.

Thank you

Thanks

Ok gang, I'm back with another update.

Painting these Raiders can be tedious so I have started a few other small projects.

I am sculpting King Theoden and Theodred from scratch. I have heaps of Wargames factory heads so i will be using those and changing them a little. They have been blue tacked onto the partially sculpted figures.

King Theoden.
At the moment he looks like he is at the disco but At the end hopefully he will look more like he is rallying his troops. I will add more hair, a beard trim and a bigger nose to the head.

Theodred.
I am basing his pose off Erkenbrand's pose because it is so full of action. Longer hair will be added to the head. He will get a flowing cape too.

And here is another update on the Raiders.
I have finished their white undergarments. (The lighting is appalling)

Enjoy!

Very promising-looking sculpting, I hope it goes well, just attemting it far surpasses most mere mortals

Looking forward to seeing the sculpts develop. I see in the Harad picture you have converted a Royal Guard too. Looks good mate.

Some excellent Haradrim you've got there!
Looking forward to see what you'll do with the two sculpts.

Wow. Your skill just put me in awe.

Looking forward to seeing them finished.

Thanks guys.

Raiders and Rohan heroes not yet finished.
Here's something else though.

To me, it seems almost criminal to waste all those lovely extra pieces that come in the plastic troll kit.
With my troll drummer assembled, I have decided to sculpt more trolls to use up the rest of the kit.

Here is an Isengard troll in early stages of sculpting. He will be given the right breastplate, the Isengard troll head, the shield and the sword. (So pretty much what he is supposed to have anyway.

I am going to have to make his left pectoral a bit saggier looking because it makes the armour plate look too high on the right side.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:53 am

that looks awsome!
I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes along

nice work!

I really like ur sculpting work! Very inspirational. Should start up a new project as soons as i am done with the dragon. U seem quite fast with ur sculpting.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:25 pm

Looks promising samoht, good luck

Thanks guys.

Another update on the troll.
Once again, I go a bit over board when sculpting his muscles, so he looks like he's been taking steroids. Oh well.

And with all the extra bits crudely blue tacked on.

He should be finished very soon. I'll be able to paint him with the troll drummer.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 6:26 am

wow!
very nice

you're a great sculptor!

I think I might have to try and make one of these once I've finished my dragon (which i haven't started)
:-D

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:32 am

Very good

the back looks especially good

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:06 pm

Great work as always!

What kind of clay do you use for your sculpting? It's obviously not green stuff. :lol:
