One thing to rule them all

Tiny 10mm miniatures. Metal minis. Of course there needs to be some cleaning to be done! And these are just the “god guys”!

Yes I missed some pictures. Everything got cleaned up, primed white and washed with a 50:50 mix of either DIY Lamian Medium and Agrax Earthshade or Medium and Nuln Oil.

That gives so much better visuals on where the tiny details are!

After all that had dried I started with a 50:50 mix of Highlord Blue and Grim Black for the robes, just Grim Black for the mounts and a 50:50 mix of Grim Black and Hardened Leather which didn’t give me a dark brown but a fancy green-brown. Didn’t wanted to go “green Orcs” but I like that colour.

Next stop: all the leather bits done in Hardened Leather and the wooden pits with 50:50 mix of Warpaint Fanatics Oak Brown and SpeedPaint Medium.

Tiny details are TINY!

Gunmetal for all the metal bits!

Finished the metal bits. And green basing. And more details. SO MANY DETAILS!

10mm is supposed to be easier!

LIES!

Colours all set and done. Did an overall wash with (you’ve guessed it) a 50:50 mix of DIY Lamian Medium and Nuln Oil. Now these need to dry.

Of course a diorama needs a backdrop. I am thinking about doing a blend of Minas Tirith and Barad-dûr.

Not sure how good that will work but that’s a problem for future me.

Before I’m starting to wrap my brain around how I should paint the good guys I am going to nick @brennon ‘s work.

BTW Ben, what happened to the plans of a 10mm Balins tomb? Spring clean 2025?

…absolutely the same. What did you expect? Now some riders, tiny folk and a wizard. Blocking in colours first.
