My Colour scheme test for my Rangers of Ithilien.....

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sat Apr 19, 2014 4:34 pm

I like it! The dark scheme makes a welcome change to the usual greens and browns.

Cheers pal, see what I mean about the chalky look though

You could disguise that a little if you drybrushed a little bestail brown around the bottom of the clothing giving a weathered effect. This would draw the eye away from the darker areas of the clothing and give a little more contrast. If you do this make sure you wipe 99.9 % of the bestial brown off your drybrush before you touch the model - you don't want to overdo this bit. If you like you can take it a step further and drybrush just the very edge of the clothing with graveyard earth after the bestial brown drybrush.

I wouldn't worry too much about it to be honest Steve - the model looks great to me.

Ill Give it a go, It was a quick job tbh mate only took a couple of hours wanted to see what the scheme looked like.
Ill Take a little more time with the other 7!

And so it begins, Most of base colours done for my "nightswatch" inspired Ithilien Rangers.
I really like how these guys are turning out. And all but one is a slight conversion to accommodate the spears.

I'm currently painting my Rangers as well and I was reaaaally tempted to paint them in a nightswatch theme.
I'm painting them in traditional green/brown/grey.

Yours look great so far!
Really nice colour scheme (y)

This is a nice way of mixing inspirations from two fantasy worlds. Now, will this amalgamation be called 'A Song of the Rings' or 'The Lord of Ice and Fire'?

Painted Damrod up in Scheme aswell so I can flip and change their leader depending my need for extra warriors

JamesR · **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2014 2:19 pm

Your Damrod looks far better than GW's paint scheme

ste271276 · **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2014 2:25 pm

Cheers man

ste271276 · **Posted:** Fri Apr 25, 2014 3:09 pm

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Fri Apr 25, 2014 3:56 pm

They look great, I think the fountain guard are among my favourite sculpts.
