HOW TO PAINT THEODEN - From the Pelennor Fields Boxset - Middle Earth Strategy Battle game

[@Guru_Swami]

That’s 5 hours well spent! Turned out to be a beautiful model!

[@masterjedi7648]

You should be very proud of it man. I have recently purchased the battle of pelennor fields set so I have been scouring the internet for ideas for painting this model and I feel you painted the best one I’ve seen. I’d love to have your talent with a brush! You earned a like and a sub from me

[@landsurfer66]

"No one wants yellow snow..." Hahaha! Beautiful mini, great paint job.

[@EntmootVideos]

I'm glad you appreciate the cheesy puns ;)

[@Khornedevotee]

That is indeed a glorious Theoden model and you painted him superbly.

[@EntmootVideos]

Khornedevotee you’re too kind!

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the Horn that was Blowing? Where is the helm and Hauberk, And the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring? And the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest And the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on a mountain Like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the west, behind the hills into shadow Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning? Or behold the flowing years of the sea returning The Lement for the Rohirrim I love the paint job on Theoden. I've yet to get my lot of Middle earth minis but I will be getting some once I have finished, building my Warhammer 40k Army.

[@bloodboughtson9126]

I've been afraid to paint Theoden! I'm down to 3 orcs to paint, then the big ones. Thanks for demistifying the process.

I would like to share a tip for painting blond hair, try ruck sack brown. I find it works really well, it can be darkened and made lighter with ease.

[@bryanbooker4466]

Excellent work, it removes a lot of the intimidation from painting my own Théoden model. Grey (white) horse color is a lot more varied than that, though.

[@numba1baysidefan]

I wish all painting videos were as entertaining as this!

[@EntmootVideos]

I wish all mine were 😂

[@CapitanCorner]

Theoden looks awesome! Great job! :)

[@EntmootVideos]

CapitanCorner cheers mate!!

[@vladimirrivera5798]

Great full work, theoden my favorite character 🙂

[@EntmootVideos]

Vladimir Rivera thank you! You’re too kind!

6:05 "don't be hasty" a painter is never hasty nor is he slow he alway moves precisely at the speed he means to.

[@edwardcordovamendoza398]

excelent...!!! good work of paint

[@私たちは一緒に行進します]

Excellent job, thanks for sharing. Doesn't Snowmane's armour have a strip of gold running down the top of his rump though?

[@EntmootVideos]

You’re quite right! The very top of his armour does appear to have gold on it - well spotted!

[@私たちは一緒に行進します]

@@EntmootVideos sorry I didn't know if I should say anything lol. I do appreciate that you got the horse's hooves correct though. Horses with pale bottom half of their legs always have pale hooves, never black (unless tared) so kudos for that.

Stunning

[@baarp01]

Great video! 👍🏻

[@happyboar1019]

Very nice colors, thank you for your video 👍

[@christopherpeery8968]

Thank you for this! Can you do a video of how you paint morannon orcs? I suddenly have 36 of them and am especially struggling with getting their skin tone right.

[@EntmootVideos]

Christopher Peery Hi Chris, thanks very much! It’s on my to do list, but I’ll warn you it may be a while! Lots on the painting table at the moment!

[@CapitanCorner]

The skin tone from orcs in general is preety easy. In middleearth are a lot of different orcs with different skin. Just mix it up and it will look fine. If you have still problems. Just use Tallarn Flesh and a shade for normal white skin. Also you can mix tallarn flesh with green or brown do bring some variation in your orc maradeurs. Have fun :)

[@EntmootVideos]

CapitanCorner it’s like you read my mind! Check out my Morannon orc video!

[@MikeFriesenLampLightGames]

Great job, thanks for sharing!

[@jamesturner8609]

Amazing!!

[@V081WLBlue]

Brilliant mate, and superbly funny with your punny pun puns. Could I make a suggestion; Every now and then on each step or so maybe show a 'real time' bit of painting, only needs to be maybe 5 - 10 secs. I'm tempted to buy this box. I do love their minis, games etc and of course Lord of the Rings; even though I H8 GW with their business practices,.... anyway I'll stop there! :-P Subbed!

[@EntmootVideos]

V081WLBlue Noted! I will do this in the future 😬

[@ArchangelTyrael]

Wouldn't a brown prime be better? Feel like that would be best with all the leather and other brown parts.

[@EntmootVideos]

Probably - but most beginners don't have all the spray cans cus they can be so expensive, and this came with a Beginners set :)

[@raytessier2974]

Love the final product. Is there a paint list for the paints used in the video?

[@EntmootVideos]

Ray Tessier I’m afraid not, but I do mention which paints I used while putting that layer on! Apologies for the oversight but thanks for your kind words!

[@orsonkrennic428]

Hi I would just like to know what did you put on the skin ton at 8:06 ? I think it looks great.

[@EntmootVideos]

Why thank you! Using shades is essential if you want to do a good job on skin without much blending! Thanks for watching!

[@orsonkrennic428]

@@EntmootVideos yes but how did you made that sort of transparent layer of dark ton that make the skin look so well ?

[@EntmootVideos]

My apologies! It’s a kind of ink paint called Reikland Fleshshade. You can get it from Games-Workshop! Or you can use a very watered down brown paint for the same effect :)

[@orsonkrennic428]

@@EntmootVideos Ok thanks for responding so fast !

[@EntmootVideos]

You’re welcome!

[@Persadiiicciei]

Hey buddy :) Nice video and nice work! Well done! :D I wanted to ask you about the Army Painter colors. Do you have any experience with those? I'm coming back to painting again after 10 years + and this means rebuying all the colors and brushes. I watched some videos about some guys using Army painter and heard they are quite good as well. I also found a nice cheap set of 50 colors for less then 100 euros which is very nice compared to the prices of the GW but before the purchase I would like to hear some feedback. Thanks in advance! Cheers!

[@EntmootVideos]

AP ello mate, thanks for the nice words! I have tried a few and they’re just as good as GW but honestly I find GW easier cus so many people use them and I read White Dwarf and other guides by GW for painting. Also, you can pick up second hand paints for dirt cheap on EBay cus new starters sell armies and paints when they get bored. Having said that, there are great conversion tables out there which do help compare army painter, Vallejo, and GW. Try searching DakkaDakka paint conversion chart, I use that a lot, but it isn’t up to date with the VERY new GW paints unfortunately! I hope that helps!

[@davidsinfield2441]

Beautiful mini!! You should do the new Gandalf model with Pippin!! So much white it is crazy.

[@EntmootVideos]

David Sinfield it’s on the pile 😬

[@davidsinfield2441]

Awesome! Can't wait!! Cheers

[@hardlyworking1351]

Great job painting this, it looks really good I was planning on painting my Theoden armour with something like Warplock bronze or some other kind of more dark grey/blue base rather than brown since it looks more dark blue/grey than brown in the movie and i feel it'd contrast more with the rest of the leather on the miniature How did you decide on brown? do you have a guide which recommends it? Also isn't it going to be a total pain to paint that base with the model on it!

[@EntmootVideos]

Thanks, much appreciated! Well I've been looking at screen grabs of Theoden in his armour and it definitely looks Brown leather and Gold/Brass to me, but you could always do an alternate colour scheme with blue grey? I wanted it to fit the movie aesthetic :) Haha, yeah it always is, in fact I've just been painting some mounted knights of dol amroth (not for a tutorial) and wish i'd left them off the base first! With this one it wasn't so difficult though. The only reason I usually do this way is because then I can undercoat it all with one spray of black! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated :)

[@Notashortmidget]

Theoden looks like he has blue armor at helms deep because, idk. But everyone looks blue at helms deep. However, at people or fields his armor looks like brownish because the grass is yellow dead, and tons of sunlight so it reflects as more of how it is supposed to look, brownish

[@Predator1871]

How did u made the Base?

[@EntmootVideos]

Hi there! The base comes with the model! I may have added an extra rock to it but the horse is crafted to a plastic thematic base :)

[@Predator1871]

@@EntmootVideos cause i bought the starter kit an he doesnt have an extra base.... looks like he has to use a standard base of the riders of rohan :(

[@EntmootVideos]

Predator1871 I’m pretty sure it’s part of the sprue?! I don’t think I did much extra to it other than stick a stone on, but I’m not sure I did that either!

[@MrDanielGaming]

What Kind of burshes do you use?

[@EntmootVideos]

I use a mixture of Army Painter brushes and Games Workshop ones :) I never think it's worth paying a lot for them as long as you look after them.

[@LordZetera00]

Loving your videos! I'm not entirely sure if anyone has suggested this but could you post in the description (or the start of the video) the list of paints that you use or have text appear on the screen for a brief time of the color. I'd like to follow along as I'm new and I am over here making a list of every paint that you used and having to slow the video to 25% speed to pause in time. You don't have to as I'll undoubtedly keep pausing; as you at the very least display the paints, so it is possible to get the paint names. I also found a paint conversion chart. www.tabletopgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/m2320032a_Citadel_Conversion_Chart11.jpg
