    The troll in the easterling armor was kind of funny for a minute there I thought he was just a really big boy.

    Easterlings have always been one of my favorite factions just because they look so cool and they are one of the few underdeveloped aspects of Lotr. It’s a shame GW is going to cut them from middle earth.

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  Месяц назад +1

      Yeah they are so cool in the books and they are definitely the best looking baddies in mesbg for sure. Mad that there dropping them honestly 😔

    • @MegaJavster
      @MegaJavster Месяц назад +1

      They're not cutting them. Khand and Far Harad are getting cut.

    Printed my first 10mm and I think I either over cleaned them or over baked them cause they are quite brittle. How long do you clean and I’ve expose them for?

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  25 дней назад

      Yeah the brittle thing is definitely a problem, especially with the tiny spears etc. I had a whole bunch of mine smash, tbf something fell on them.
      It could be the resin your using, I tend to use ABS like resin as its less brittle. Still not perfect though. I've never timed the cleaning or post exposure so I'm not sure about that part of it. Hope it works out! What faction did you go for?

    • @julianking3847
      @julianking3847 25 дней назад +1

      @ yeah I use a clean and cure machine and tried 3 minutes so will probably go down to 2. I just found some warmaster figures to experiment with, and started with undead skeletons so are even thinner than “normal” but still good fun. I’ll be grabbing some of Wakes UriKai cause ya gotta love the bad guys and I have a few in 28mm!!! Probably White tree guys after that as I really like yours!

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  25 дней назад

      @julianking3847 ah yeah I need to get one of those, mine get chucked in a Jar and swizzled for 30secs/1min ish. Ah interesting, so extra cleaning time makes them more brittle you find? Nice! I will definitely be doing uruk hai soon. Ah thank you 😊 🙏

    The armour would be bronze or brass, not gold.

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  Месяц назад +1

      Ah that's interesting, I always saw it as gold plated (or bits of gold plated) in the films at least, the wiki says - "Their gold or brass overlayed steel lamellar armor" different to the book obviously. I think the props were cast polyurethane resin, so I'm not sure if the intention for it was to present as brass or gold or bits of both. I think that saying it's brass/bronze or that with bits of gold trim seems like a reasonable interpretation for the miniatures? Obviously in real history no one would be rocking up in wholly gold armour, I'm assuming anyway. I could be wrong there 😄

    • @castiron9002
      @castiron9002 Месяц назад +1

      @TheWizardsBrush Yeah, it could be brass plated. The romans did something similar with tin to prevent rust. At any rate, the video was great 👍.

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  Месяц назад +1

      @castiron9002 Ah wow cool! I didn't know that about the rust prevention. I appreciate the info and the feedback 😊 Got me thinking about tinting them towards brass in the future, bit more red tone in the wash or a brassy gold. Ah thank you 🙏

    I would just have Easterlings if I cpuld and paint them be red and gold for regular troops, black and silver or smth like that for "elites"

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  21 день назад

      Yeah nice idea 💡 The Easterlings definitely have the best look in my opinion, definitely out of the 'baddies'

    • @clewintheunissen7438
      @clewintheunissen7438 21 день назад +1

      @TheWizardsBrush oh definitely, and when it comes to their actual lore and culture its somewhat chinese and japanese mixed with a bit of Arab. Their love for dragons and their basic worship of their existence is something that I always love as a inspiration concept.

    • @TheWizardsBrush
      @TheWizardsBrush  21 день назад

      @clewintheunissen7438 Yeah definitely! they are a fascinating culture, a real testament to Tolkien's world building and imagination!

    • @clewintheunissen7438
      @clewintheunissen7438 21 день назад +1

      @@TheWizardsBrush honestly I couldn't agree more, like think of it being able to create entire races, cultures, heroes, intrigued between factions and whole kingdoms. Plus having a literal lore book of old kingdom, the old Ar-Ardunain and even how your entire world came into existence..you would think it was a family project passed down and made better, but no just a single man with so many ideas in his head that he decided to put on paper. Sure there were some inspirations, but what he did was absolutely a once in a century tipe of creation.
      I am sorry about this entire rambling but I am honestly a LOVER of Tolkien works and the Peter Jackson films, so these tipe of things, and honestly how how beautiful you paint the minis, are something I've wanted to do and see for so long!
