I just wanted to thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into these. I just finished the last of the company and am really pleased with how they came out. Your tutorials convinced me to push myself with the freehand and i am blown away with the results. I found using the new contrast medium in an approx 3:1 ratio paint to medium worked amazingly for the flow
Need a tutorial on the painting of the goblin king's throne. Any plans on doing one?
The troll brute… PLEASE

Any of the Gundabad series would be SO appreciated!
I know this is kinda far fetched, but I would like to see Smaug done.
Are you planning to get your hands on the new models? (Ironhill/Gundabad/Dol Guldur/etc.)
I love you!
great tutorials, I would like to see the goblin king tutorial. I JUST BOUGHT MY SET AND HAVE STARTED ON THE GOBLINS BUT WOULD LIKE THE KING DONE CORRECT. THANKS
I just used the goblin tutorial for the King. It's the same paint.
I would love to see a Mirkwood Armored Elves and Thranduil paint guide
Hello. i just has begin to paint. and i realy find your guide a big help! but will it come more from the hobbit and lord of the ring serie ? or if you know some other good guide that culd help me out?
I'm very late to the party, but I'm looking forward to painting my set of dwarves this Christmas holiday, using your guides! (And I still love to see a Smaug guide!)
Amazing work. In the Escape from Goblin Town set can you explain how you painted the scribe? I have know idea how to paint all the bone covered platforms but if I know how you did the wooden frame of The Scribe I would be able to work from there
Maybe when you're done with Smaug you could do some Lake Town stuff?
With all the new releases I would have to say then new 'Armoured Mirkwood Elves' (more as they appear in the film though!), the new 'Thorin Oakenshield King Under The Mountain' or the 'Lake-Town Guards' … but I guess Smaug will take up a lot of your time 🙂 I can honestly say these are the tutorial ever. Thank you so much!!
i'd like palace guards!!
Palace Guards!!!
the warriors of dale would be cool
i would like to see knight of rivendell plz
Great Job ! I would like to see the mirkwood guards and thranduil next 🙂
Great job. Next I'd like to see Legolas and Tauriel.
Huge fan of all of the Hobbit tutorials. I would love to see Warriors of Dale or any of the Laketown guards.
Thank you very much for these beautyful figures. I would love to see a Tutorial for Thranduil because its a nice figure. The grey colours are very difficult for me so i would like to see how you do the painting.
Also the Guards of the Elves are very interesting.
Greetings from Germany ! 🙂
I would love to see a Bard the Bowman!
I would love to see a Bard the Bowman!
Very impressive. Love them all. Next I'd like to see Azog & Hunters Orcs & Wargs.
I thank you a lot for the new tutorials (especially for the Mirkwood Rangers). I'm looking forward your next ones and hope you will also consider the Rivendell Knights !!
Warriors of Erebor would be fantastic, great work so far!
Looks like Hunter orcs on Wargs are popular. I'll see what I can do after I've finished my Mirkwood Rangers and Trolls.
Your tutorials are great ! Mirkwood rangers and Hunter orcs on Wargs, please !!
Mirkwood rangers, hunter orcs and palace guards would be great. These tutorials are perfect, thanks a lot.
I would love the trolls, hunter orks on wargs, and warriors of erebor
Mirkwood Ranger tutorial coming soon!!!
The best tutorial is the One for Gandalf. Please make one of the 3 trolls and hunter orcs on wargs 😉
Thorin is the best! Let Mirkwood Rangers be next, please!
Great tutortials and nice to have them all in one place, as I plan on working my way through all of them. I do like the white legs on your wargs, so a tutorial on getting that effect would be good. But Trolls, elves (Rivendell and Mirkwood) and Azog would all be good too.
Hunter orcs or Mirkwood Rangers, these tutorials are fantastic!
I second the Azog tutorial. The hunter orcs on wargs are the models I have been building. They are great models and very easy to build. Thanks for the tutorials so far all have been helpful. On a side note a tutorial I'd like to see would be how to mix paints ie 1:1, 2:1ect. I have never understood what that means or how to apply it appropriately. Thanks Garfy!!
Enjoyed them all so far! Looking forward to the Hunter Orc on Warg tutorial. And a Mirkwood Elf tutorial would be great!
Radaghast tutorial is favorite! I would like to see Azog tutorial or Thranduil. Also, I don't see here a warg tutorial, but there are wargs on a picture.
I will do a warg tutorial if I ever do hunter orcs on wargs. Two birds, one stone and all that.
Love them all. Next I'd like to see Mirkwood Rangers, Palace Guard, Legolas, Tauriel, Thranduil or Knights Of Rivendell. Anything Hobbity Elf basically!
Seconded I am loving the Tauriel and Mirkwood Rangers models, can we see some elves please?!?
whip whip! faster, you swell painters, paint faster!
😉
great job guys, I'm slowly getting to mine
Possibly something a little different: the older fellowship set?
