Freehand Painting Miniatures: Boromir's Banner from The Lord of the Rings!

[@bernardkauffman7783]

Bruh. You're really good at this whole thing.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thanks, i try to do what i can. Im not going to be a Golden Demon level, as I prefer seeing armies painted as that floats my boat. But now and again i push myself :):)

[@TylerStein-p4i]

Yet again, I'm incredibly impressed. Incredible job on the banner and definitely a good inspiration for me to give mine another go. I also agree this would be great in plastic. The metal banner is just a hazard on the table

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thank you kindly :) I hope that the next time you give it a crack you will be super pleased with it! Ah yeh totally, cant put him on a hill! haha

[@christopherpeery7436]

I just painted this mini last week and was struggling hard with that banner lol. I might have to give it another go after watching this

[@Blastoice]

Fair play for even attempting to paint it 😊

[@SwordsandBrushes]

It's a bit of a pain! We should start a petition for a brand new plastic kit lol Hats off to you for having a go though as its a daunting design to have a go at! :):)

[@Blastoice]

@SwordsandBrushes I hate the plastic LOTR miniatures. Might just be nostalgia, who knows 😁 Love the metal ones

Very nice !!

[@paintingpanzers]

Sensational stuff! Your freehand work is truly great.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thank you very much! I like to have a go here and there, I'm coming back to Rohan this month and that means one thing... Gamling!!! AARRRGGGHHH!!! haha

[@paintingpanzers]

@SwordsandBrushes LOL I don't envy you 🤣 that is one hard flag to paint. You sure you're not missing an ear? Van Goff could have returned ... should you pull that off 😆

[@EspenShampoo25]

I want to see the gondor mansion kit back in stores. I cant believe GW discountinued a kit that came out in april! Im gutted i never bought it when it was in store, but who would have thought it would be gone already?

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Really it's come off the website already! Thats a shame, i reckon surely that must be a blip, or at the very least they would need to produce the next batch and get them back in stock.

[@EspenShampoo25]

@SwordsandBrushes all the stores in my country who sells GW products are out of it. I got one of them to check with their supplier and they came back to me and told me the set is discontinued. Shocking behaviour from GW!

[@GingerBee788]

I've had this model years I even got a second one recently both in metal and I've tried many a time to paint it with no luck. so I recently hired a commission painter to do it for me so I now have at least one with a painted banner lol.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

ah yes thats definitely another way! :P

[@Chesterbigwigful]

Lovely tutorial. You’ve already said Boromir, so my vote would go to a plastic Gamling to free his Rohan banner from freehand hell.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

That would be a perfect specimen for a sculpted detailed plastic banner! :)

[@CreatingChemistry]

By any chance can you list each color of paint you used for the whole model?

[@NANNotANumber]

Thanks of lot!!! I would like to show you my work 😊

[@SwordsandBrushes]

I'd love to see! I am on Facebook under 'Swords and brushes' but also i have a free discord that you are more than welcome to join :) discord.gg/Em5pea4Bny

[@OllsMESBG76]

Amazing video, as always, thank you for the breakdown & tips! Are you going to post a full painting guide of Boromir, I’d really like to see that!?!?

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thank you :) Glad that the video can help break it down a bit. Ive done a Boromir from the Fellowship set, i've still got a few more to finish that off. But also the Minas Tirith warrior would help for this Boromir as i would use the same colours :)

[@OllsMESBG76]

@@SwordsandBrushes I’ve seen that one, I meant for Boromir, Captain of the White Tower!?
