A Stronger Breed
PAINTING ISENGARD URUK-HAI

The nasty, brutal Uruk-hai are a major threat to Middle-earth. Their crude armour hides the bestial visage that lurks beneath, but does not mask the fury of their actions. They attack in nigh unstoppable armies numbering in the thousands. Fortunately for the commanders of Evil, they are a snap to paint. With a little patience, you will soon discover the joy of painting Uruk-hai and have a horde of snarling creatures to unleash on all your unsuspecting friends!

After a good undercoating of Chaos Black, start by drybrushing the entire model with Tin Bitz.

Next, drybrush Boltgun Metal very lightly so that only the edges of the armour are highlighted.

Clean up your model by using a slightly watered down Chaos Black on all non-metal areas like the skin and loincloth.

Basecoat the skin with Dark Flesh and the loincloth with Scorched Brown. Leave Chaos Black in the deep recesses of the model.

Highlight the raised areas of the skin with a 50/50 mix of Dwarf Flesh and Dark Flesh.

Highlight the loincloth with Bestial Brown. Using a Fine Detail brush carefully paint the teeth using Rotting Flesh. After all, Uruk-hai don't brush their teeth!

Finished Uruk-hai

The humble beginnings of an unstoppable Uruk-hai force!
