Heir of Isildur
PAINTING ARAGORN FROM THE HEROES OF THE WEST SET

Page: 1|2|3|4

Many of the models in the Heroes of the West box share the same uniforms and other features. However, each is a distinct character in its own right. 'Eavy Metal painters Kirsten Williams and Kev Asprey took special care with each of the miniatures to emphasise the quality that makes each of the heroes unique.

Aragorn Steps 1 - 4

Aragorn's face was
given a basecoat of Bestial Brown mixed with an equal amount of Dwarf Flesh.

Dwarf Flesh was then layered over the face.

The face was highlighted with Elf Flesh. The eyes were then painted Skull White, and a small dot of Chaos Black was painted in the centre.

Aragorn's hair and beard were painted Scorched Brown and highlighted with Scorched Brown mixed with an equal amount of Bleached Bone.

Steps 1 - 3

A basecoat of Scorched Brown mixed with Dark Angels Green was applied on the coat.

Codex Grey was added to the basecoat mix and layered over the coat, but the original colour was left in the recesses. This step was then repeated twice with more Codex Grey added to the mix each time.

A heavily thinned glaze of Black Ink mixed with an equal amount of Brown Ink was then applied. Dirt was applied by drybrushing Scorched Brown followed by Bestial Brown onto the bottom of the coat.
