I wish KZbin tutorials were around when I was a kid, I wouldn’t of quit out of the hobby so quickly

[@BundyOS]

This tutorial is so awesome, thank you very much for making it. I'm also using it for my first fellowship box. 🙌

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Awesome! Es ist kein problem. Jetzt, jeder sollte wissen was zu tun 😃

[@jindownes]

Brilliant tutorial. Just bought the fellowship and with this backing me up I feel a bit more confident painting them!

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

They'll be superb mate, have faith in yourself! Nice thin paint layers so you can correct any mistakes without losing detail and you'll be away.

[@lowlandswargaming1302]

Awesome paint jobs! Really enjoyed watching.

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Thanks! Hope it was useful.

[@willcannon4626]

Thanks for this tutorial! I really enjoyed painting my fellowship because of your videos. Simple. Fun. Informative. Easy to follow!

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Really glad it helped! Did they look great when you were done?

[@willcannon4626]

@@criticalhitwargaming5290 Yeah I am really pleased with them thanks. Onto Eomer next!

Thanks very much!

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard

[@firelordsinger9666]

Using this rn for my Fellowship! Gonna make a couple tweaks to some of the hobbits cloaks and Boromir and make the bases more forresty thanks man 🤘🤘🤘

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

No problem at all, glad it's helped! Tweak away, this guide was aimed at people who had no idea where to even start.

[@kristoff7049]

Nice video. I was looking for one on Thorins company but this was a good interim and you made me spray my tea on the painting of Gandalf’s beard 😆

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

I'll buy Thorin's Company at some point and do a video on that. A few people have mentioned it now! Sorry about your tea. 😅

[@kristoff7049]

I feel I should have done that in the description lol

[@tp6498]

Hey, great video and a huge 👍. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! I've got this set coming in the mail and I'm definitely going to be referring to this video for some assistance when I begin painting them. Do you plan on making a similar video tutorial for the Thorin and Company boxed set as well? Forgive me if you already have, I haven't scrolled through any of your other videos to check.

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Hallo! Glad you liked it. When I came to paint my own there was nothing on KZbin to use as a reference other than the official (and very quick) GW one. I have just bought some studio lights and a new setup so I will be making a load of new videos soon. Lots of people requested Thorin's Company so I will try and pick up a box!

[@SchweijneMalle]

Nice job. Is there any chance to get a list of the coulours you use ?

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Thanks! I don't have one to hand, I'd have to watch through the entire video and write them all down lol

[@jonhawes5995]

Can i ask what you can do to keep the paint wet enough on the brush when you're painting the eyes? When I use fine layer brushes it tends to dry before it can be used, and then i smush the paint in the eye.

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Yes, make sure your paint is nicely thinned with water. 😊 Not so much that it doesn't show when you put your brush on the model, but enough you get a nice smooth consistency.

[@JanikOokami]

just got this pack but got the warhammer age of sigma paints and tool sets. the colours are different possibly in some areas. but does it have to be exact? i think the red is bit different

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

It doesn't, no, but obviously the model will look different at the end. Remember though, with black and white you can lighten/darken colours as required. 😃

[@andreasswagsson5868]

Really awesome video. Really inspired me how to paint them. Will you paint more lord of the rings models?

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

I will be yes!

[@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth]

Brilliant work man stunning. Although I think all base rim colours look proffesional xD

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Black ones, or ones with colour?

[@Mortikar]

@@criticalhitwargaming5290 I'm assuming base rim with black. They really stood out to me as well. They are so clean!! Great job! I'm almost done with mine right now, but I will be using your tutorial for the stormtroopers.

[@simmo8823]

I'm a beginner and Just followed this excellent tutorial very happy with the results . I'd like to do thorin and company next but I'm struggling with the colours to use, is there anywhere that has a colour guide ? I can't find anything .

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Not that I know of buddy - have a look through KZbin and see if you can find a video on it. 🙂 Glad this one helped you!!

[@bornsmooth92]

It says paints required then nothing? Am I missing something? Coz I really want to use this scheme, I'm willing to go through and write it all out but still

[@dawnlowry3279]

I was looking too. AND>>> perhaps the link for the nie handle you ahve for painting them. which citadel model if thats it?

[@Harridax]

These look great! In your description it says "Paints Used:" but then it's blank, is there any way this could be filled in? I'd love to paint mine in a very similar way.

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Added! Sorry about that.

[@Harridax]

@@criticalhitwargaming5290 Amazing, thank you very much!

[@James-ih4gz]

what if you dont have a undercoat are you okay to not have undercoat?

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

You need to get some ideally, otherwise the paint will not go on the models easily, and it will flake off when you handle the models.

[@James-ih4gz]

could i use anything for undercoat like a light grey ??

[@Mortikar]

@@James-ih4gz Yes, but make sure it is a primer.

[@1f9l9o2]

Welche Farben hast du denn genutzt?

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Wann ich bin frei, ich werde die ganze video anschauen. Dann ich kann die Farben schreiben. Ich habe vergessen!

[@ChristopherHaughton-ol8hn]

Hi mate. I cant see which paints are required

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

I'll try and go through it at some point and write them out! Sorry 😅

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

Added 😀

[@gsgcmc]

You need to look at some images because some of your colors are way off

[@criticalhitwargaming5290]

They're painted following the GW box art (roughly). Feel free to do them in your own way! ☺️
