Nazgul

Five of the nine Nazgul arrived from Ebay. Nice chaps.

Dead boring  fashion sense though. Black with a touch of grey.

Not even a pair of glowing eyes between them.

The metal seems difficult to paint, or rather, difficult to keep paint on.

I wonder if oil based paint would be better for the base coat?

I think the bases will be changed.

I'm painting some Mordor Orcs at the moment and when they're done I'm going to try a little experiment with a base using broken up breeze block.

I think it has the look of volcanic rock.

If it looks ok then the Nazgul will receive the same treatment.
