    Reikland Fleshshade
    OTHER EQUIPMENT:
    Lahmian Medium: amzn.to/2Wz65VK
    Plastic palette: amzn.to/2OyfzOt Although these days I prefer to use a wet palette: Everlasting Wet Palette: www.redgrasscreative.com/ever...
    Desk Lamp by Redgrass Creative: www.redgrasscreative.com/redg... (I actually use a larger, overhead lamp when filming, but this is a great hobby lamp for most people)
    PAINT BRUSH: Rosemary & Co Series 8 Size 2 - www.rosemaryandco.com/series-... (select "short handle").
    Rosemary & Co Series 56 flat brushes: goo.gl/sMuHrA (I used a size 2 and a size 4 in this video)

    I used the following grass tufts from Gamers Grass www.gamersgrass.com/ although you could of course just pick a couple to use:
    Dry Green (2mm)
    Moss (2mm)
    Dark Moss (2mm)
    Autumn (5mm)
    Burned (6mm)
    Hobby Holder: gameenvy.net
    For airbrush users, this is the black primer I use: amzn.to/2HOc8me
    And I also used Cold Grey and Dead White from the Vallejo Model Air range.
    This is the airbrush & compressor that I use (although it's somewhat overkill for basic priming duties!): goo.gl/9NSaSX
    White Tack for sticking the minis down: amzn.to/2WBlghm
    Citadel Mouldline Remover: amzn.to/2FNbcfD (although I normally use a standard craft knife)
    BASE SIZES:
    In the base game there are 27 X 25mm bases, and 4 X 30mm bases (for the Hungry Wargs, and the Hill Troll)
    ALTERNATE PAINT SUGGESTIONS:
    For the yellow-ish skin tone, Ogryn Camo mixed with a little XV-88.
    For the Caucasian skin tone: Cadian Fleshtone mixed with a little Abaddon Black.
    Also - Flat Brown can be matched using a roughly 3:2 mix of Mournfang Brown and Rhinox Hide.

    For those of you that are using this video as a complete intro into painting minis. I would recommend that you do the Ruffians separately, so you are not overwhelmed by the amount of minis to paint. There are 18 minis total, so taking out the 6 Ruffians might make it more manageable for those that are just starting out.

    I'm a brand-new painter and I found your channel through mention by another channel - The MiniJunkie - and I am SO GLAD I did! Your step-by-step instructions in this video makes me feel like I can really paint some great-looking minis! I love that you are very clear on all your supplies, how to mix the different colors, what order to paint the various parts, and how to use the shades to add contrast! Thank you for the great tutorial!
    I am off to check out the rest of your channel to see if you have any more videos focused on the beginner painter. 😊

      Thank you! Some of my videos tend to get a little advanced (which is fine) so I do like to bring things back to basics from time to time for the benefit of newer painters. I'm glad you liked it! :)

    I'd like to thank you for each and every one of your tutorials. I'm new to mini painting but my work quality is already pretty good thanks to you. You are amazing, sir!
    Your videos from start to finish is absolutely delightful. From your soothing voice, down to your soundtracks. 🌹👌🏻

    I've never painted minis before, but I've gained a recent interest in playing board games so I ordered the game a few days ago and decided to give it a shot. I ordered everything I needed to get started that was used in your video (minus flow enhancer, items for the bases) and can't wait to get started! I'm expecting my results to be as nowhere as good as yours but your videos are so detailed and relaxing to watch that I'm confident that using them as a guide will make them turn out great! I'm eager to see how far this new hobby will take me. Thank you so much for the videos and can't wait to see what you have in store for the new models in the Shadowed Paths expansion and beyond!

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  4 года назад +1

      Thanks a lot Justin! The main thing is that you have fun and enjoy the process. The orcs, goblins and ruffians are a great starting place because you can just enjoy trying different colour combinations out and get a feel for things, without worrying about being too neat or getting things "wrong". Whatever happens your figures will look 10 times better than they do out of the box! :)

  • @jsbarlow1
    @jsbarlow1 3 года назад +2

    I last painted minis over 20 years ago but your tutorials have inspired me to pick up the paints and brushes once more. I will post pics once I've completed all the bad guys. Congrats on a wonderful channel.

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  3 года назад +1

    Thanks again for another excellent guide. I love how you cover your same techniques in multiple videos, it works well as reinforcement of methods of painting. I am not sure if I am getting this game yet, but I am definitely going to keep watching for ideas and tricks.

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that.. I think the techniques in this video would work well for speed painting pretty much anything really :)

  • @TjeuPubben
    @TjeuPubben 5 лет назад +20

    Hello Sorastro, awesome tutorial as always! Thank you very much!
    Very interesting to see that you don't do a highlight step (which in turn also requires a lot of time), instead drybrush pure white in the beginning of the process. Really want to try that out!

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  5 лет назад +2

      Thanks a lot Tjeu! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

  • @bannegon334
    @bannegon334 4 года назад

    Thank you Sorastro for those awesome tutorials...
    You gave me the confidence to paint my figurines and gave me back my taste for painting (I was making models a while ago...).
    I was inspired by all your advice, to paint my figurines while adapting to my taste!
    And it allows me to occupy time in these difficult times of confinement!
    Many thanks!

    @HRDKOR1 5 лет назад

    Thank you very much. These tutorials are truly amazing and show us that you don't need hundreds of paints in order to accomplish amazing results. I have picked up a great deal from this video alone and can't wait to try out the techniques first hand. Thank you for the continued inspiration and I look forward to viewing more tutorials.

    I've never painted any of my minis, but this video has inspired me to start getting into the hobby. Thanks for going through each step slow and meticulous and for the great music accompanying it. Thanks for all of the links in the description as well. The only thing negative to say is you've created a way for me to spend more money on outside of the boardgames themselves. :)

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  5 лет назад

      Ha ha - thanks Matt! I really appreciate the kind feedback, and I hope you enjoy painting your LOTR minis 😀

    Hello there! I came here after 5 years of painting, when I was starting to paint I followed Sorastro's guide for Imperial Assault. Now when I watch this series, nostalgia is hitting hard. Thanks to you I managed to stay in a hobby and had a great learning curve. Now I'm back to watching because I just bought this game and I hope to learn a thing or two :)

    Mate, you paint so confidently and fast while I'm slowly and painstakingly picking out every edge and detail. I wanted to paint the just hero minis for this game, but after watching your video I am tempted to do the bad guys as well. Might have to watch this tutorial another dozen times before I do that! Thanks very much for this series.

    • @Sorastro
      @Sorastro  5 лет назад

      Thanks a lot JAn ! I sure go a lot slower with the hero figures, but for this rabble I really wanted to get them to the table quickly :)

    This was perfect - I've never painted a miniature before and was too intimidated to even seriously consider it. You explained everything so well; requirements, techniques - exactly why you do things as well as how. You've made me feel that I will be able to achieve a reasonable result even as a first-timer and make my game so very much better. Thank you so much!

    gotta say, though i didn't have a chance to watch it sooner, this video was perfectly timed! i just picked up this set of paints a couple weeks ago in preparation to get into the hobby, and while i know a pretty good amount about color theory from "real" art, actually seeing the kinds of colors this set can create was really helpful for me. now all i gotta do is wait for my game to arrive...

    HAppy to see a new serie begins. Definately a good idea to stuck to a bunch of colors for all the serie. This is so helpful for a beginner. They won't have to buy thousands of different colors. I want to say that for people like me, color blind people, it is even much more helpful saving lost of money !

    I'm still watching, but I have to comment that I LOVE the beginner guide! I know I'm a bit more experienced now, but I always learn so much when you go back to the basics. Take The Butcher for example: the results are amazing, but the techniques are too advanced and I don't have the right miniatures to practice those techniques often. But now, with this beginner guide again, I can check my techniques throughout the entire video! I love it!

The music, as ever, is beyond words to describe, but AWESOME will do for now :-D Even your prep segments are amazing, showing beginners as well as old hands like myself how to make a cleaner figure free of mold lines.
