[@008-films9]

Keep up the good work Legend, your channel has grown so much from when I started watching a couple of months ago. The hard work is paying off!!!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Sam!! I'm glad people are enjoying it!

@Kannon Bo Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bobbyuriel5171]

@Kannon Bo It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

Will definitely getting the contrast paints, looks so much quicker! Another great video!

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely sooo much quicker! Thanks mate!

[@kosachilles2504]

First time viewer. This was great to watch, loved the video and also loved how you give me the conversions of paint as well

[@Zorpazorp]

Welcome mate! Thanks for coming to check out my stuff, and I'm stoked you enjoyed it!

[@jamesdocherty5904]

This is such a well thought out video, can't believe I'm only just discovering you now!!

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks mate!

[@ericopian4208]

Amazing job. Just started painting my Rohan. I used darkoath contrast, but I will try my next batch of horses with your snakebit leather. I am definitely getting the skeleton horde contrast. That horse hair looks amazing. Thank you for making great videos.

[@Zorpazorp]

IF you use snakebite mate, do it over dark grey, and you can mix some of the darkoath and snakebite together, or add some cygor brown too to make it a bit more muited and less streaky :)

[@davidmillette719]

Thanks for the tutorial. Brand new painter here and you made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I can do this. I thought the Royal Guard looked great. If you're doing the Scouring the Shire next, I would love to see a tutorial for the Ruffians in contrast paint if possible. Hard to find model before the reprint, so I'm sure more than a few would benefit and I have scenarios waiting to be played...lol

[@Zorpazorp]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave! Lotsssss of Scouring stuff up soon stay tuned! It'll be Hobbits first but then onto those pesky ruffians!

[@donbarnett7137]

Great video. I like to use the Contrast paints for painting small pieces of scatter terrain, like crates and barrels etc.

[@Zorpazorp]

Oh that's a great idea I hadn't thought of them for that

[@thewargamerbandit9621]

Ye using the old names is what got me to buy the contrast paints. I used gulliman flesh over red for some Uruk hai berserkers like a wash and it they turned out brilliantly 👌🏻

[@Zorpazorp]

I loved those old colours so much 😁

[@sparkitus1988]

pro tip #1 for the abilities of snakebite leather contrast, use it over gw ironbreaker to create a burnished gold that doesnt need washing. Metallic undercoats work really well with a fair few contrasts, my recommendation is play around on old or unusable models to see what effects you can get. Also try not to pool the paint on flatter surfaces, try and get a clean layer with less contrast on the brush. love this channel dude, keep up the awesome content :)

[@philRminiatures]

Nice tuto and lovely paint job...Beautiful bases as well...

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks Phil!!

[@robertmanson5922]

Perfect timing, i just ordered a few of these guys on ebay

[@Zorpazorp]

Nailed it 😁

[@shily95]

Thanks for the tutorial, I love the result! I hope you'll make more videos like it 🙏

[@Phodis]

I have a few Eaglemoss LOTR figures I want to completely re-paint, I am going to try this and see how they turn out!... Great Channel!!. Subbed.

[@Zorpazorp]

Good luck! thanks dude!

[@rt-ks2bh]

Brilliant thankyou so much,,,really enjoyed your work,,handy tips

[@Zorpazorp]

You are very welcome

[@Samanar]

Amazing tutorial, any chance for other Contrast painted minis like Morannon Orcs (to complete Starter set), Galadhrim elves or maybe Minas Tirith? Thanks again, love what you're doing!

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely my friend, I've got so many morannon unpainted 😂

[@TP-qo5yx]

Fantastic job, thanks for the tutorial!

[@besjungebesjing9692]

Great tutorial mate! Love it

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks dude!

[@DionPhilbey]

Comment for, the thanks for the help, the algorithm, and have you tried Creed Camo contrast, have went with that for the green. Seems able to make better contrast between dark and light vs dark angel green

[@herschelstevens8748]

Thanks great video, any chance you could do a paint tutorial for rangers of middle earth? Next step for my Gondorian Army 😊

[@Zorpazorp]

Not for a long while haha! Terrain and BAtReps is the focus at the moment!

[@raveschotbenoit3810]

Incroyable

[@raveschotbenoit3810]

we do not believe these ye

[@Zorpazorp]

Thanks!

[@Lekdog]

Awesome video mate! Had decided to strip my old models and paint them, saw this video was uploaded and bang! First LOTR models painted in a decade!

[@Zorpazorp]

Hell yes dude that's awesome!! Glad I could help 😊

[@greywulfslair]

Brilliant as ever, thank you!

[@Zorpazorp]

No probs man!

[@bobasbounty3428]

Amazing! Altough i'd preffer the blood angels red instead of the flesh tearers red

[@robertaftanas7916]

Fantastic video as always, it's great what you are doing with the LOTR strategy game and minies. How about a painting tutorial for Sons of Eorl and the standard Warrior of Rohan. Forth Eorlingas! 🐎💀

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely have those out in the near future bro!!!

[@reapper6660]

Any chance of a Mirkwood ranger painting toutrial ? :)

[@Zorpazorp]

Ooooh that'd be fun! Maybe soon!

[@SparrowInTheHall]

What did you use for different horse breeds? Like a palomino for example?

[@Zorpazorp]

Haven't experimented enough yet, we'll be doing a horse painting video soon!

[@jakebrennan1229]

Looking at starting up my Rohan army again, but would you recommend this painting method for all their models?such as regular warriors? Just want them all to look really good! Love the videos been watching a lot!

[@Zorpazorp]

Nah, I wouldn't use this, follow my guide I did on the livestream, episode 7 maybe, that's probably better.

[@DMStraylight]

Important note: you DO NOT need to use the new Citadel primers! Any light-colored primer will do just fine.

[@Zorpazorp]

Very true! You can actually use all sorts of colours for different effects :) going to experiment with different primes soon.

[@alanlatour624]

As long as it matte finish, of course

[@Michael-ty4tp]

How would you paint riders

[@miguelcorreia1149]

Amazing painting tutorial Lachlan!! I will probably use it on some riders of Rohan. Are there any more contrast paints that you can use to paint the horses? As you said it is a nightmare to paint the Rohan horses and I would like to have some variety. Cheers!!

[@Zorpazorp]

There definitely is man! I'm going to do a whole tutorial on how to maintain horses with contrast :)

[@miguelcorreia1149]

@@Zorpazorp thanks!! I can't wait for it to come!!

[@alanlatour624]

It's a lot to ask but if you could do a cave troll paint tutorial, that would be awesome

[@Zorpazorp]

Ooooh a Cave Troll would be fun! I've got a lot of Scouring of the shire stuff planned soon but I'll add the Cave trolls to the list!

[@BadDecisionDinosaur89]

Could you tell me which geekgaming products you used for the bases, please?

[@Zorpazorp]

A mix of dead and spring static grasses for these I think with some tufts, and probabale a pit of patchy plains mixed in and maybe some green and brown foam scatter flock

[@soundgarden8885]

So im new to this contrast Paint, what does it do?

[@Zorpazorp]

It acts like a very heavy glaze pooling more heavily in the recesses when applied neat aiming to look like a basecoat and shade all in one :)

[@JackSparrow-nd7hj]

Yass I’m early great video this will rlly help thanks

[@Zorpazorp]

No problem man!

[@marc8959]

how you do that base¿?

[@Zorpazorp]

Base ready mixes from www.zorpazorp.com :)

[@GameyDave]

All good but the colour on the horse didn't come out too well, maybe just a normal brown and wash would have worked better there and not any longer perhaps, could be worth a try?

[@Zorpazorp]

I actually agree with you, I'm currently experimenting with some better colours and I'll put up a whole horse dedicated tutorial soon I think :)

[@Mischeeel]

Uruk Hai with contrast please 😀

[@Zorpazorp]

Definitely soon bro, they'd be perfect for it!

[@Mischeeel]

Thx !

[@codygriffin8256]

I'm late but...meh. Figured I'd offer something. I generally use contrast to base. Then I go over them with layer paints. Dry brushes. Edge highlighting. All that jazz

[@Zorpazorp]

Couldn't agree more Cody!

[@codygriffin8256]

@@Zorpazorp exactly. As you well know contrast paints are really great for that first coat and wash...but ya still gotta make them models look goooood

[@jeffdave8884]

You are a talented painted but the contrast paints just don't look as good as your normal stuff. The horse in particular would have looked better with a light brown normal paint and a wash of agrax earthshade with a light drybrush. I know because I am in the middle of painting a ton of rohan. Thank you for posting I always enjoy your vids.

[@Zorpazorp]

I totally agree man, but the time difference is insane for me. My normal horse process is about two hours. This took literally 5min haha! I actually think I'm getting better at making the horses look good with contrast too, I might do a whole tutorial on it soon :)
