How I Paint Things - Men of Gondor

The brave Men of Gondor are the shining silver line between Sauron and the rest of Middle Earth. Bloodied but defiant, they have stood against all the worst that Evil can throw at them, and by their enduring sacrifice is the rest of the world kept safe. Luckily, they're dead easy to paint, too!

With the return of Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (arguably, the Return of the King of GW's rules sets and one of my favourite games) it seemed like it'd be useful to demonstrate how to paint up some of the most common and reliable troops available to any Good commander. With a solid stat line and good defence, the Warriors of Minas Tirith are a must-have for any point in the battlefield that absolutely must be held!

The tips on painting silver armour will also be useful for any other miniatures you've got that might be wearing plate or other big, blocky areas of metal - D&D miniatures tend to have a lot of chunky armour if you're playing the right classes!

How I Paint Things is a series of simple instructional videos designed to help the newcomer through some of the basics and demonstrate how the very simplest techniques can still give you some great results that're easily replicated. Aimed at the beginner to painting miniatures, there might be one or two tips or tricks that help even you old hands!
