Tyranid 'Peacock Mantis Shrimp' Paint Scheme Tutorial by CatgutPainting
Another paint scheme and another patterning concept, based on a crustacean that is equal parts vivid and dangerous.

I find that the colors and patterns found in nature can seem every bit as alien as the creations of sci-fi artists, so looking to real-world examples for inspiration can be useful even when painting fictional monsters. Here's one example.

Total paints needed:
-White Primer (I use Badger Stynylrez)
-White (I use VMC Cold White)
-Black (I use VMC Black)
-VMC Lime Green
-Army Painter Red Tone
-Army Painter Blue Tone
-Army Painter Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium
-Army Painter Green Tone
-Varnish (I use AK Interactive Ultra Matte)




Mantic: Kings of War Vanguard- Trident Realms Riverguard Dambuster unboxed and built! by Obscurities in Miniature
Yeah... all those names and titles are a bit of a mouthful. Sounds a bit strange.
But here's an armored frog being ridden by a smaller samurai- inspired frog to totally make things much more normal.
I couldn't resist this figure. It's so Saturday morning cartoon levels of silliness that it surpasses goofy and transcends it.
I really like this model far more than I should.
Plus he's an actual Vanguard unit! With cards included! Do you want frog on frog cavalry? You should. A shame he looks so much better than the basic Riverguard models. I think I'll have to just get some Privateer frogs instead.
If you can't find these locally then demand Mantic send you some!

Who Owns The Lord of the Rings? by Pentex Productions
Who owns the Lord of the Rings? Amazon with their Rings of Power? Peter Jackson with the Warner Bros LOTR trilogy? The Tolkien Estate? What about LOTR games like Gollum and Return to Moria? LOTR board games like War of the Ring? Will there be a Silmarillion movie? What?s all this about the Embracer Group?

Well, the answer to all this is complicated.

So come with me on an adventure into the wild world of film rights, licencing agreements, and lots and lots of legal challenges as the War for the Rights to The Lord of the Rings carries ever on and on?..
