Painted: First sprue of old Warriors of Rohan painted

 

Here we have another faction taken out of my MESBG backlog. As I also have the Battle of Edoras box, I decided to paint the old sculpts in a scheme that I'll be able to apply to the new ones as well. The colours are a mix from Warhipster's tutorials on the old and new sculpts.

The Models

Typical old MESBG sculpts. Sometimes you have to take an arbitrary decision what is what or where one detail ends and another begins. But generally they are not as bad as one might think.

The Scheme

1. Slapchop underpainting

2. Grey Seer for the skin

3. Dark Angels Green for shields and cloaks

4. Wyldwood for leather clothing, belts and wood

5. Cygor Brown for the leather armour pieces and quivers

6. Black Legion for the boots

7. Blood Angels Red for cloth

8. Skeleton Horde for the hair

9. Corax White for the motifs on the shields (and then AP Soft Tone wash, diluted a bit)

10. Guilliman Flesh for the skin

11. Flesh Tearers Red for the wrap around the bow

12. Gore-grunta Fur for the fletchings of the arrows

13. Iron Warriors for the metal bits

14. Retributor Armour for the "thingies" on the shields and other decorative elements

15. Targor Rageshade for the metals

16. Iron Hands Steel drybrush for the metals
