Post subject:  'The Mines Of Moria' -> pillars
Does anybody know the painting guide for the pillars of the 'The Mines Of Moria' (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1140216&rootCatGameStyle=) boxset?

Certainly the brown at the bottom and the cracks?

Thanks

Well, uh... Just use quite little, half-wattery paint in your brush and smear it out thinly across the areas just over the joint?

I'm only guessing though..

I don't know if there is an official paint guide for them. (Other than the one in the MOM painting book.) I would just drybrush some scorched brown wherever you want it. Although, what you saw as brown appears to me to just be darker gray. My vision isn't 20/20 though. :wink:

Thanks.

The grey is a heavy drybrush??
And the cracks, juist chaos black free hand??

I'm not sure this is the "correct" way of doing it, but I'd do something like this;

1: Spray the pillars black.
2: Paint it grey (codex grey perhaps?) with abit more paint than a drybrush, but not a complete coat.
3: Pick out the cracks and lines between the joints and between the ornaments with chaos black.
4: carefully with codex grey, fix any misses around the black-painted areas (Just if needed)
5: for that brown-ish areas, take bestial brown and thin it out quite abit and "free-handedly" paint a small bit (not even, I suppose it's dirt or something..) as shown on the immage.
6: Highlight with a mix of skull white and codex grey (or just use a brighter grey collour of you've got one.)

I hope it helps, good luck!

I beleive they used a brown as a base coat. The ones I painted, but no longer own (gifted to a friend), I usea Krlyon brown for a base coat, and then drybrushed by grays over that. The effect was almost identical.

are the cracks actually on the models or do they have to be painted on. If theyre actualy there i would just paint them black, heavy drybrush codex grey, drybrush fortress then lightly with skull white.
with old ruined things i like to mix green and brown inks together and water it down loads then wash it into the grooves and around the base etc.

Here's what I would recommend: Black undercoat; this miniature is going to be entirely painted using drybrushing techniques, so painting it black first will ensure all of the cracks will look realistic. Next, give it a heavy drybrush or overbrush of Bestial Brown. Following this, heavily drybrush or overbrush it a darker grey, such as Codex Grey or even a mixture of Chaos Black and Skull White. Then, drybrush it with a lighter grey, such as Fortress Grey. Finish off with a cautious, light drybrush of Skull White, and you should have decent looking pillars. :)

I think you should do another very light Brown Dry-Brush for weathering to make it more rwalistic and pleasing to the eye.
The coloumns were underground, you would have water coming through from above, hence the need for weathering.
