You may have recently seen the review and tutorial for this awesome model on the blog. Now that he’s finished I’m pleased to present the showcase post with all the different photo angles and my thoughts on this model.




Traditionally, we post our showcase models on white backgrounds so we have some consistency. Azog is already quite pale (he is called the pale Orc after all) so I thought I’d post both white and black backgrounds.


Painting this model was a refreshing change. I don’t normally use a white undercoat, but it made complete sense to in this case. He was a very different challenge to the Wargs I recently painted. The warts were all dark colours so you just have to highlight up. Where as thys guy you had to shade down and then highlight back up to white.


I really like the battle damage to the Warg. It looks painful and fresh. It really helps break up all the white with a strong spot colour. I’m also pleased with the slate base. The model is now even more intimidating and imposing. The extra height means he absolutely dwarfs a… er… dwarf.
















Above you can see the various angles of the mounted and dismounted model of Azog. I prefer the mounted one, it’s really dynamic.
Azog’s Warband is complete and features the Pale Orc himself leading 6 Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs and 6 Fell Wargs. A worthy war band to add to my Evil collection.
Next up an Elf Warband for my Good side.

I would put this model in my Top 10 of the most scary models to paint. I painted them both lat year and was constantly thinking I would accidentally snap the mace and the claw arm. Thankfully I never did. Great work by the way 🙂
Thank you so much again Garfy! It's so nice to see someone enjoying painting the hobbit models, and you're doing such an amazing job with it! Any hints on what's next to come?
Fimbul is next 🙂
Boom. Thanks Garfy answered my question perfect. Now to purchase and paint.

And you're spot on about the paint ratios. To mix them use an artist's paint palette of a plain white bathroom tile to mix onto. Just take the paint from the pot and apply it to the palette. Old CD cases work too.
Okay Garfy the mouth and face of the warg are just flat out gorgeous. I'm going to purchase all of the paints you used and take my first shot at next level painting. How do I mix up the paints and what sir is "Lahmian Medium"? From step 2 of your Azog tutorial is an example of the mediums use and mixing it.
—2. Create a wash by mixing Karak Stone (25%) with Lahmian Medium (75%). Apply the mix to the whole Warg.—
Does the 25/75 split mean 1 drop of Karak Stone "swirled together" with 3 drops of Lahmian Medium? Any help would be appreciated. I'm done with rushing through a paint job and ready to step it up. Thanks again for the tutorials and sharing your experiences.
