So for the first guide, I thought I’d do the guys I’m working on currently which is the rangers of Gondor. Despite the questionable casting of them, they were fun to paint and really help to brighten up a minas Tirith army.

I have listed the paints like: dark red > red wash > light red representing each layer beginning with the colour on the left and the final colour being a highlight to the high points.

I use a mix of paints so to differentiate I’ve used: GW for Games Workshop Citadel paints, VMC for Vallejo Model Color, VGC for Vallejo Game Color.

If like me you don’t have every paint for every brand than you can convert between them using this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xl-x9eW3bLw5eqDeNUG2JUwn2EZwn34TDKfNIg5uul4/edit#gid=4
