Mithril Miniatures May concludes with another, final for now, Mithril Miniature: M145 The Mouth of Sauron.
It's a lovely Mithril sculpt for a character who I found strangely underwhelming and disappointing in the Lord of the Rings. He exchanges trash talk with Gandalf, manages to lose Frodo's armour and other personal items, then gets sent along on his way, and disappears from the story. He might have been the emissary who Gimli referred to as offering the Dwarves a deal, but that's not explicitly stated.
Painting him was very easy, and largely the same as the Balrog. Black undercoat, white highlight, wash with Citadel's Blood Angels Red contrast. I painted the horses eyes with a fiery look, as per the description in the book. Quick and easy, and fun to paint.
Enjoy :)




A lovely little model, and very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's really a very simple paint scheme, but I think it conveys a sense of his Darkness.
DeleteGreat model Lee, and excellently executed.
