104th post - Strider! (Tutorial)

Hello friends!
Welcome to another tutorial, this time will be Strider!!!!!
This miniature is, as I said on my 103rd post, one of my favourites ever!
It is part of the Battle Games in Middle-Earth's magazines (issue number 61).

The name Strider, being the "west world's" name for which Aragorn was known (particularly in the village of Bree), refer's to a traveller.
A world wanderer nomad he was, with a deep knowledge of nature's ways and ancient healing techniques. In my opinion, one of Tolkien's best constructed characters.

Having all this traveller's ideas in mind, I decided to use a broad range of green's and brown's for this particular model, using lot's of earthy tones.

This is the final result!
I'm pretty happy with how this model turned out.

These are all the paints that I've used to paint Strider.
