How to Paint Tom Bombadil

Hi guys, recently I painted my Tom Bombadil metal miniature, to paint him I:

 Base coated his coat and hat in Regal Blue

Drybrushed over the Regal Blue with a mixture of Regal Blue and Fenris Grey

I then added some Chaos Black to the mixture and painted in the gaps

I painted his trousers and hat band Scorched Brown

Then I painted Mournfang Brown in the gap

Then the feather was painted Regal Blue and drybrushed with Fenris Grey

His boots were painted with 3 layers of Golden Yellow

His under shirt was painted with scorched brown then overbrushed with Mournfang Brown

I then drybrushed the undershirt with Khemri Brown

His face was painted with Tallarn Flesh and drybrushed with Elf Flesh

Then I mixed Tallarn Flesh with Wazdakka Red to make a red flesh colour and painted his cheeks with it

The Hobbit

With tho hobbit coming out there is a large amount of models coming out, in my opinion they are nice, but let me know what you think, head on over to the Hobbit page for more information!

Getting started

Hi guys, Karl here this post is on playing games. So first, obviously, you need some models, you can get some at your local hobby shops or Games Workshop stores. (Tip: Try getting some of your first figures on ebay) Secondly you will probably want to paint your figures, again you can get the paints at hobby stores. For painting I always use games workshop's citadel paints. (Tip: if you want to get citadel paint try going on Iconix for cheap ones) Next you will probably be wanting to play a game and you will be wanting a rule book, however these do not come cheap I would suggest buying the Mines of Moria box set which contains 34 models, scenery and a rule book. When you get onto playing you will need some dice, about 12 will do, you will also need a measuring tape. As your armies grow you will need more dice.

WARNING:
This is an expensive hobby so be warned!
