As mentioned in my last post, I was painting the Armies of Mordor for a Pelannor themed game and slowly adding in models that I had no plan of using but that I knew would get into his head. The last big model in that category was a Nazgul on Fellbeast.
This has been sitting gathering dust on a shelf for far too many years - it was caked in a thick layer, slowly maturing - so I dusted it off, dusted it again and then got painting.
For a model that I thought would be really quick to paint going in - its just black isn't it? - it turns out the fellbeasts are barely dark grey, let alone black. I went with various layers of beigey-browns to build the wing colours and underside, adding in various browny-greys for other bits to get something that feels alive, while the Ring Wraith is just black highlighted grey.
This model I specifically got a mutual friend to drop a passing comment that the Nazgul on Fellbeast I had posted was only the first I was painting - and that got a panicked message.
Thanks for reading
