I still forget to update my thread properly...
As a side effect of a big army commission, I had the chance to paint a few Haradrim for my collection. Still, a lot to do for both, the commission and my army, but at least progress is made and the future looks brighter.

Wow. They are awesome!!! Especially like the hornblower.

Love the paint scheme, very Arabic and fitting for the Haradrim.

wow ! incredible work with these haradrims!

i love these colours, what did you used? in particular for the "orange" tone? i would like to make some of them with the same scheme.

Can't wait to see together all the models of this army finished

Oh my god Paliouras is there any sort of small guide you can make for the Abrakhan??

thanks a bunch guys!
here are two links with a brief reference to the colours and techniques used for the Abrakhan Guards' skin and the Haradrim warriors' colours in general.

So, here is a bunch of dwarfs that I finished for Adam in the US a couple of months ago. I enjoyed painting them, but I feel that the green used undermines the final result. But, since Adam preferred them this way, all is good.
One thing to notice, are Dain's hair, which I tried to copy movie-Dain's colors and his axe, which is described as a red axe in the book.

Your hard color scheme is amazing. I love it.

The dwarves are well done, it is a fairly dark green which I think is less friendly with the gold and the red, but nonetheless it is still a fair scheme and looks good.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2016 9:39 am

Nice work on the dwarves, I think you could have probably pushed the highlight on the green a bit more with them but still an excellent job.

Your dwarves look amazing! Do you have a list of the colours used?

Hey,thanks bud! In what are you interested? Clothes, hair, armor?

You're probably right CG, maybe I should have done so.

Thanks bud! I still strongly feel that these colours do not compliment each other and that the final result feels as an underachievement. Dunno...

Dwarves look great.

Hi everybody!
Here are a few custom made Rohan-realted casualties/objective markers that I completed over the last few months.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Thu Mar 23, 2017 8:55 am

Nice work though I think some blood effects (like Tamiya Clear Red or Blood For the Blood God) would really make them pop.

karavatis · **Posted:** Thu Mar 23, 2017 10:24 am

Great bases, the spider is amazing.
Maybe I'll copy them... great work.

Those poor Rohirrim

Lovely work! And late to the party but the Haradrim at the top of this page are superb too!

paliouras · **Posted:** Thu Mar 23, 2017 3:54 pm

Thanks guys.
I used some MR HOBBY clear red on the poor Rohirrim, but not a lot. I didn't want to make it all look "Friday the 13th". It's the poor lighting, methinks.

Anyway, I was toyin' with an old model a couple of afternoons ago. Still WiP.
Be gentle.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Fri Mar 24, 2017 2:25 pm

No need to be gentle, she's shaping up nicely (the face is excellent).

Valadorn · **Posted:** Fri Mar 24, 2017 3:56 pm

I love the bases, I ve done the same recasts for a diorama, they fit excellent as objective markers as it seems! Eowyn is going on well, the woman face to be really "woman-ish" is something difficult to be achieved but I am sure that you are going to make beautiful enough, even for Aragorn's taste haha!
