Contrast+ How to Paint: Rohan Battlehost - Now for Wrath, Now for Ruin and the Red Dawn!

[@DukensteinA1]

If you don’t think the charge of the Rohirrim (in either movie) is one of the finest moments of visual storytelling ever, we just can’t be friends.

[@echoechoecho7142]

Agree the moment in time these films came out was magical. Was an awesome three years. The Two Towers is my favorite as well - though of course I love all three films more than I can say. There was just something about Rohan, the setting, the colors, the music, the armors, on and on that just spoke to me, and I'm sure millions of others. The models turned out awesome, as always.

[@Retrosicotte]

The "thing" on the shield is the Boss. Thanks so much for the helpful guide, I've been contemplating all my old LOTR stuff to get painting. They're quick enough to help me toward model neutral this year!

[@willcannon4626]

Mr Warhipster. Thank you so much for your brilliant videos!! They're absolutely fantastic! and I can't stop painting MESBG because of you. 🎉

[@RAFI205]

waiting for mordor battlehost, very inspiring ;)

[@davehall6053]

Just watched this again before I start painting my own Rohan Battlehost - awesome, just hope I can get something close to what you've done

[@galatimusx2143]

Sei un inesauribile fonte di ispirazione complimenti !

[@vorpalCortex]

Thanks for posting all these contrast paint videos. I struggle to get painting but you are an inspiration.

[@willcannon4626]

Such an incredible way to paint horses!!!

[@travman228]

As a horseman from a very young age Rohan is me through and through so glad those films portrayed them so vividly...just wish they showed more

[@douglasbradley3533]

Definitely need more lord of the rings from you!

[@kaz9357]

I don't understand how you get the colors so smooth. Using the same colors, my stuff comes out so much darker. Do you have your pots of contrast pre-thinned? I can't understand how you get such a different result compared to what I do. Please, any advice would be hugely helpful

[@stefanostanatzis8067]

If the stalker 2 map is that big there is an opportunity for them to introduce vehicles aswell. Maybe a truck that you could use as storage or like a 4×4 like a lada niva

[@MrNeathComputing]

It's nice to have a new guide to painting these. Up until this video, I was still using the Battle Games in Middle Earth magazine and always spent 10 minutes converting the paint names.

[@pezza2000]

Been following you for a while now and love your content with contrast paints, it's really helped me learn. Will you ever do any videos on Star Wars Legion or other games? Would love to see it!

[@TheReLictors]

Would love to see this too!

[@Hello-1814]

The shield highlight really works well!

[@benmcguckin7123]

Brilliant stuff. I’m excited to get back into LotR! I’d love to see a Theoden video.

[@drivethrubandofficial]

I love these new painting series videos of the new boxes. Are you going to do all of them? Elrond box? Would love to see how you do high elf banner =)

[@ssvishnov]

Could you please make a vid on how you based these miniatures?

[@Edward-Plantagenet]

Great video as always. I'm really undecided as to whether I like the Contrast greens or not. On 15mm figures I find they work well but on 28mm I'm not 100% happy with them. I find their coverage is somewhat inconsistent such that you end up getting a lighter patch in the depths at times where you'd hope (expect!) it to be darker. I had to do 2 coats of Creed Camo on my Gondor Ranger cloaks (and it's still a bit meh) and I see you have used Pox Walker, that improves the look too. I'm tempted with Gondor to just use a forest green Vallejo (I hate Citadel paint pots) and then maybe the Creed camo as a wash on that rather than buy yet another Contrast I'm not happy with. Some work well for me, many don't. Really enjoy your content.

[@ArchangelTyrael]

That part of the shield is called bos or umbo.

[@michaelhockey6770]

Very timely video I was looking to how to paint my Rohirrim that I've had for about a year and done nothing with. You've just inspired me to get them painted

[@93broome]

Love this painting guide. Would you happen to do one for gamling by any chance on doing his banner?

[@pjoter167]

As much as I like Rohan, I'd love to see you paint the khazad dum models

[@G0lia7h_at]

Extraordinary painting! Are you going for the Minas Tirith box perhaps as well? Or the Osgiliath Starter box?

[@5olas]

“Forth, and fear no darkness!"

[@miisomini4517]

Awesome Contrast+ videos, especially this one! May I ask how you did the bases? What colours did you use? Thanks!

[@charlieshepard6512]

How did you get the round pegs of the riders into the hexagon holes in the base and still get them to be straight?

[@FetaCheese717]

A year late, but the round metal bit of the round shield is called a shield boss.

[@69SlappyWag]

Would love to know what song was used for your intro, very dramatic I love it

[@renatoe3417]

Hi ! Could you paint the Minas Tirith set with contrast too?

[@Dieregorn]

Hello, I play Dark Angels in 40k. I want to start playing LOTR, do you recommend me Rohan as starting army? I cant find this box anywhere sadly

[@BornToKillU552]

The finished models look great! How did you do/paint the bases?

[@echoechoecho7142]

Need more Lord of the Rings content!

[@christopherharkness5418]

Forth Éorlingas!

[@lewiskeal977]

For the horses if I wanted to add some muscle definition like you do on eomer what colour would you use for each?

[@Warhipster]

Using one of the new shades like Agrax Earthshade or Targor Rageshade should help you! For the white Horse though I’d recommend a touch of Nuln Oil

[@golinskyy]

any chance for the rest of battlehosts armies?

[@PapaKrow]

What ratio do you use to thin down iron warriors to get that super nice consistency? I can't seem to get it

[@pompyromage]

Are you using contrast paints?

[@eduardofernandez491]

Which color do you used to the bases? Thanks!

[@TheReLictors]

Did you use grey seer in an aerosol can to prime?

[@NickolaySheitanov]

whatsaa the music in the beggining

[@betteroffshook]

how much would this amount of paint cost?

[@kayincline3368]

If you like this go check out dungeon lad!

[@M1991G]

The music in the background is putting me to sleep how am i supposed to finish the video?

[@renatoe3417]

Could you paint theoden ? Please

[@Hello-1814]

Shield Boss

[@ratelmike8825]

@warhipster I was looking at getting the Forge paint Ghoul grey as a substitute to Grey seer, but stocks seem low. Will Army painter matt white also work as an alternative? Failing which I'll just go with GW Grey seer spray paint

[@gouldbergvariations]

i disagree with the red on the soldiers bow and arrows.
