Spooky Twilight Ringwraiths

Again with some progess this week - I painted some more old Middle-Earth SBG miniatures: The three Twilight Ringwraiths. Other than that I also made headway with more Termagants.

I had these on my table for some time now - I put them off because I didn't want to highlight the white parts. It always takes so many layers... But I finally powered through and I happy with them how they are right now. The contrasts and shadows are quite stark - more than I'd usually do them. It's a bit of a different style - maybe if I had additional copies I'd do them differenty, but for now they will do.

And here are some more of the Termagants. As usual, I followed my standard for Kraken - with one exeption: One of the Gants has an additonal highlight of Wild Rider Red on the carapace. I'll use him as a specialist in Kill Team and wanted him to stand out some more.

With the release of a new edition of the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, I might focus on that in the next weeks. First up I want to dust of my Rohirrim and maybe add some Riders.

  1. Ringwraiths are great. Nice to see someone who isn't just using those technical paint washes from GW (Hexwraith Flame? Nihilakh Oxide?). I always think high contrast is better and makes the models pop more. That gant is like Stripe from Gremlins, good idea to make him stand out like that. You're a bit light on points tho..
