Elfhelm Painting Tutorial! ~ Muster of Rohan Army Vlog Ep 2

[@missyknoll3714]

just painted my first 28 mm miniature yesterday and am waiting on some paints and shades to arrive, omg what an expensive endeavor! But I am hooked and thanks to you and others I am learning much! And my son says he may even get back into tabletop gaming if I paint his figures for him! Thanks for a great informative channel!

[@Zorpazorp]

That's so awesome!! Yes it certainly can be 😂😂 what system are the miniatures from? So exciting to see the kids getting involved 😁 Glad you're enjoying it all 😊

[@missyknoll3714]

little fellas are 2001 metal minis from Games Workshop Lord of the Rings, Fellowship. I hear the new ones are resin now, not metal...found them on ebay@@Zorpazorp

[@Zorpazorp]

@@missyknoll3714 the range is mostly plastic with a good mix of metal and some resin :) That's awesome though! Make sure you join our community page and post some photos when you.get them painted up! facebook.com/groups/310785176288932/

Awesome!!! great video like always!!! I saw a lot of tutorials about painting lord of the rings horses, but this, this is the best! simple, yet awesome finish. God bless.

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks so much mate, glad it was helpful!!

[@ragnardagmer6546]

Wonderful!! Great job. 😉

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks dude!

[@JakobDrawitsch]

Do you have plans for a betrap with elfhelm? Curious to see him in action!

[@Zorpazorp]

Yeah man absolutely I'm going to do some practice matches for our upcoming tournaments with elf film in the list so you'll definitely get to see him soon!

[@matthewgrosse6843]

what do you use for your wet pallet paper? I have been looking for a good alternate to parchment paper available to Australia. Good video, but you might need to put a square tape box on your cutting mat so it can help you keep the work in the auto focus box of the camera and make you life easier.

[@Zorpazorp]

Cheers Matty! Baking paper bro :) what's a square tape box?

[@matthewgrosse6843]

@@Zorpazorp Just look through the camera with the focus box on and mark it out on the cutting mat with masking tape for reference while you paint, will make it easier to keep in focus while you paint. Thanks for the quick reply, I find your video's inspiring for my own hobby projects, and look forward to your next one.

[@Zorpazorp]

@@matthewgrosse6843 I use autofocus man, I just have to remember to keep my hands over the right spot haha, so maybe you're right! Some markers haha. It's tough to paint and film I must admit. Thanks dude glad you're enjoying them :)

[@missyknoll3714]

I heard someone say that the grids on green cutting mats are what make the camera go out of focus. In the end when I was watching you do the wood spear part it was totally out of focus. When your hand was blocking the mat the focus was working, when your hand was out of the way, it went blurry. Just a thought....

[@Zorpazorp]

@@missyknoll3714 oooh that's an interesting point cheers! It's quite tricky to paint and film haha :D

[@miguelcorreia1149]

At this rate I will be needing a new wallet!! Really awesome Video Lachlan, Elfhem is looking amazing!!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Miguel! I'm really happy with him :)

[@miguelcorreia1149]

@@Zorpazorp indeed, I need to start painting my Pellenor Fields Rohan!! Currently I'm finishing an Isengard force (Gondor war really fun but I really wanted to paint Saruman), after that I will dig up some horses

[@battlemind]

This is good, with one caveat - blonde hair isn't yellow. It is in anime, but find a blonde friend in real life. Their hair is more sandy. Thanks for posting!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks bro!! Yeah that is true. Although Tolkien describes Rohan often with Golden hair so I always like to lean into it a little bit haha

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

hmmm, I find blonde hair in real life to come in multiple shades, some (if not most) are sandy but I have met plenty of golden haired people to not say all.

[@battlemind]

Sure.

[@JackSparrow-nd7hj]

Plz do a Rohan warrior or Rivendell knight

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely both on the cards mate 😁

[@JackSparrow-nd7hj]

Thanks dude

[@triruns]

Very nice paint job and tutorial. But the video confirms my impression from the FW site photos that the horse looks too small relative to the size of the rider.

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks dude! Really? I've never got that vibe.

[@triruns]

@@Zorpazorp You've had it in hand and I haven't, so I trust your judgement

[@Gs-mb2fu]

Hey. Have you been nice enough and gave me equivalents of Citadel paints that I can use instead of Valleyo? Thank you!

[@Zorpazorp]

There's a conversion chart in the description :) :)

[@georgiotoufexis7017]

What is this color with white which use in every time you start paint??

[@Zorpazorp]

Do you mean the thinner? Lahmian Medium :)

[@georgiotoufexis7017]

And why you use this?

[@Zorpazorp]

@@georgiotoufexis7017 to thin the paint buddy. Every paint is made up of two parts the pigment and the solvent or the 'glue'. Lahmian Medium is essentially a paint with no pigment, so it's all glue. That way when you use it to thin you're only thinning the pigment of the paint not the glue element as well which happens when you thin with water :)

[@georgiotoufexis7017]

Zorpazorp thank you very much!!!

Whats Elfhelms stats , Any chance you could do profiles from White Dwarf magazine **Lord of the Rings & any chznce people could help review “friendly” games for heroes , I got inspired by “Born of Hope” ... KZbin video (fan film) and scenarios especially the last 10 mins of the video & to make Arador (aragorns grandfather) his mother & grandmother too & a few other ideas

[@Zorpazorp]

Elfhelm is in the Gondor at War rulebook :)

[@awesomenesschanel]

Ive been doing some painting of my models - Im very new to it and really enjoying it, thanks for the inspiration! Ive now finished about 20 models but just of painting the plastic models. I now want to make some nice bases for them but all I have are slot bases and I cant work out how I can prime the grit I put on the models with my fully painted model on it already. Do you have any suggestions on how I could go about this? Im a bit stumped as to how I can go any further with it and Im worried to paint more models in case I cant find a way around this and having to start over. Thanks for youre awesome videos and showcases, theyre absolutely amazing and I cant wait to see more

[@Zorpazorp]

Sounds awesome dude good work. As for your basing usually you have a few approaches: - put the basing materials down before you prime if they need to be painted - paint the base separately and then pin them model to the painted base - or base the model with material that doesn't need to be painted. In your case, you'll probably just have to prime it by hand with a brush so just make sure you thin the paints a bit so they're not too thick :)

[@awesomenesschanel]

Should I buy a certain type of primer specifically for model painting - because I haven't seen any that aren't sprays - or can I use any type of primer if I thin it down?

[@Zorpazorp]

@@awesomenesschanel what range of paints are you using? I just prime in black usually or brown for bases.

[@awesomenesschanel]

Oh, I meant that I don't know of any primers used for models that don't come as sprays. But I use Army Painter range of paints to answer your question

[@Zorpazorp]

@@awesomenesschanel ahh okay, I just use normal citadel/vallejo paints to prime by hand of I have to :D so chaos black or scorched brown.

[@everlett1122]

58 dollars the fuck is it made out of gold resin?

[@Zorpazorp]

$58 Australia dollars haha and yeah nice quality Forge World resin :)

[@marcwittkowski5146]

It's kinda ridiculous that the dude even has "helm" in his name, yet he is bare headed. Great video though :)
