Thanks for the kind words all. Yeah I think that i agree that the armour is too polished for an uruk. Believe it or not i started with a boltgun metal-black mix on top of a black undercoat. I worked up to neat boltgun highlights.
I've got a few more to paint, which I'll working on until my dremel arrives. I think I'll try for a much darker armour, maybe even using a tin bitz-boltgun metal base coat and drybrushing black-gun metal on top of that.
Cheers
Andy
