RENERIEN

Hello! In this guide I’ll be painting Ren-

erien from the Spreading War expan-
sion to The Lord of the Rings: Journeys
in Middle-earth!

As usual I’ve primed the miniature in

black followed with some grey and
white zenithal highlights applied from
above:

I’m starting by painting the eyes

I’m now painting around the eyes using Black, and adding the pupils:
using White Sands:

I’m then mixing the skin base tone using Pink Flesh mixed with Burnt Sienna Umber:

black lining around the eyes:
Golden Flesh to the base tone:

Note that I’ve got some of this mid

tone just above the eye, but be- I’m now using pure Golden Flesh:

Sometimes I’ll place quite a bright

Then soften out the edges with a

I’m now mixing Pink Flesh with

some Primary Red to create my lip

To help capture the more golden

I’m going really thin here (this is
skin tone of the character art I’ve
something that these paints really
now decided to glaze some Orange
excel at):
into the mid and shadow tones:

And I’m now returning to add a few

I’m mainly pulling the paint in the direction of the shadows:
more highlights:
 Here I chose to go more saturated still with a glaze of Primary Red - once again sticking to the shadows:

Next I’m painting the hair with pure Black for now:

And here I went with one final glaze

of the orange:
I’m now switching to some Contrast Colours, and I’m creating a 2:3 mix of

Wyldwood (2) and Gryph-Hound Orange (2):

And the bow:

Here I’m just tidying up the leggings

to colour the leggings:

Next I’m painting the arrow fletchings with Skeleton Horde:

Here I’m just taking the shine off the Contrast Colour with some AK Inter- I’m now painting the top using
active Ultra Matte Varnish: Birch darkened with a little Black:

For the green waistcoat I used a

roughly equal mix of Ardennes
Green and Black Forest Green, then
added a touch of Black:

green top by adding some Sher-
This needed a couple of layers:
wood Green and some Mars Or-
ange to the base tone:

I also added some dark lining for

places like beneath the collars:
I’m now adding some Autumn
Green for the brightest highlights:

Moving on to the white top, I’m

first highlighting up to pure Birch
from the Birch and Black base tone:
I’m then adding White Sands for
the brighter highlights:

I’m now creating a blue-ish grey scale using Abyssal Blue mixed with White
Sands:
And I’m using this to paint the daggars and the arrow head in a NMM style (which didn’t actually take long at
all!):

For the NMM gold on on the bow

and quiver I used Gobi Brown, then
We can go to pure White Sands for
with the addition of Sahara Yellow,
the brightest glints:
Tenere Yellow, and some White
Sands:

I’m now lightening this with the Sa-

This is the Gobi Brown base tone:

And now the Tenere Yellow:

And here I’m adding some White

Sands to the Tenere Yellow for the
brightest glints:
For the brown leather I chose to
add a few highlights using a mix of
Mars Orange and Tenere Yellow:

I went a little to broad on the right

boot, so toned things down with I’m not sure if this is a metal bit of the dagger or not, but I painted it with
some of the original Contrast Col- the NMM tones anyway:
