Lord of the Rings - Aragorn at Helms Deep

So this was one of my favourite when it was originally released and I finally managed to get my hands on it just recently. So here is my guide to painting Aragorn. 

First I base coated him with Abbadon Black. 

I then dry brushed it with leadbelcher. 

The next layer I added was some Khorne red, for the shirt and tunic. On the tunic I wanted a hint of red to show through in the right light which is why I deviated from the usual dark brown base here. 

Next I watered down some Mournfang Brown and painted this over the tunic. To finish the tunic I added a wash of Nuln Oil. 

For the face I used Cadian Fleshtone. You can also highlight with Kislev Flesh. 

For the hair, facial hair and boots I mixed Mournfang Brown and Abbadon Black. 

The gauntlets and scabbard were painted with Abbadon Black before highlighting the trim with Runefang Steel. I used the same layer paint for the blade of his sword. 

The highlighting for the elven scabbard on his back was done with Gehanna's Gold. 

Sorry this post is a little short today has been a little hectic and I ran out of time for all the detail I would like to include. 

I soon hope to have some battle reports up and for those of you who are 40k fans I will be at a release event for the new rulebook tomorrow night. Even though the new rules (or lack of them) are being rumoured I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new books, and some pizza!
