I'm really loving the step by step paint along tutorials. My novice girl friend is just getting into Middle Earth and having some up to date, quality guides has been a godsend for both of us! The shopping list of paints is super useful too. Please do more of these!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Andy, will do mate! Congrats on getting the Mrs involved!

[@davidmillette719]

Love the step by step tutorials you are doing with the contrast paints. Really helpful and appreciated by a new painter like me. Keep them coming!

[@Zorpazorp]

Cheers David! Had they're helpful for you dude :D

[@theflameofthewest8733]

Would love to see some preparation for the Rohan at War book coming and maybe see some Uruk-Hai painting tips. And maybe, one day do some army tactics talks, going through a different army and speaking about what tactics/models are good and some ideas on how to run them

[@Zorpazorp]

Great suggestions man, do the worry I am going to be ALL OVEER Rohan at War hahaha

[@christopherpeery7436]

Turned out looking great! Great work!

[@Zorpazorp]

Cheers mate 😊

[@RosieJonesRules]

Zorpazorp what minis will you be buying in today's made-to-order?

[@Zorpazorp]

None, they're way to expensive for me, especially in Australia 😭 If anything maybe the casualties kit.

[@kosachilles2504]

Thanks for the great guide!

[@Zorpazorp]

No problem bro!

[@jeffdave8884]

Very nice! Contrast paints really appear to work well on the Wargs with the drybrush bringing out the texture. By serendipity I am due to start painting 20 Warg Riders for the "when wargs attack" scenario tomorrow and after watching this vid I will certainly go the contrast route for all but the characters. Thanks for posting.

[@Zorpazorp]

I looove that scenario dude!! When you have a game throw some photos up on the Zorpazorp Facebook group!

[@jeffdave8884]

@@Zorpazorp I tried the contrast paints out today for the first time on those 3rd rate mordor orcs we all have laying about unpainted. (You know, the ones in the naff poses that will only ever see the tabletop if you play that scenario in the very first ever book that needs 240 orcs). I was still not impressed with the paints and had to use "normal" paints to tidy them up afterwards to even make them acceptable. Overall it didn't save much time on the normal way I speed paint but after tidying up they didn't look much worse either. So I suppose you pays your money and you takes your choice. Will still give them a go on the Wargs but not the riders I think.

[@mikerheuma2232]

These are awesome, we need more!

[@Zorpazorp]

I'm writing on it 😂😂

[@mikerheuma2232]

Awesome man, Looking forward to see what else you have planned sir

[@AF-kj2zl]

Can you do more contrast tutorials for LotR? Moria goblins, Uruk hai, and others?

[@Zorpazorp]

Don't have time to make LOTR painting tutes anymore fortunately :) Buyt I do have some cool army vlogs coming up!

[@johnmiddleton4291]

Nice work. Contrast looks great on warg fur.

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks John!

[@jackfelix9007]

For metal try grey or black contrast and then drybrush with leadbelcher or silver. I heard the results are great, even better then combination of leadbelcher and nuln oil.

[@Zorpazorp]

Oh wow that sounds awesome!!!

[@cobs1991]

Love this video - I remembered it from when it first came out; and now I have my own Golfimbul so definitely using this recipe. Just quickly - I also have a sharku model to paint. Would mixing a skin tone and a red have a similar effect to the Golfimbul skin, or would it turn out too pink?

[@Zorpazorp]

Nah I think that would work alright, you might just want to be a bit more subtle than the green highlight! Thanks mate:D

[@cobs1991]

@@Zorpazorp Awesome, thank you for the advise, I'll give it a go soon I think!

[@simonbishenden7889]

Love your videos, I’d love to see a Isengard battle report or something round Isengard

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Simon! Got a big Isengard drive of Edoras I've been meaning to edit for ages :D stay tuned!

[@simonbishenden7889]

Zorpazorp brilliant can’t wait, I’ve just started getting back into LOTR SBG, your videos are helping me so much thank you 😊

[@Zorpazorp]

@@simonbishenden7889 No problem Simon thanks so much for watching :D :D

[@donsk1022]

Any chance for a Rivendell elf or galadrim elf tutorial? Or even Gondor rangers?

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely down the track mate!

[@mhewson]

I would love to see some hobbits and ruffians

[@Zorpazorp]

They're coming bro :D :D

[@mhewson]

@@Zorpazorp you're amazing

[@dannyneumann3086]

IT's an official model 'Golfimbul' :)

Me too mate, not a fan of Sigmar at all.
