Damrod, Ranger of Ithilien

Middle-earth was a land of heroes. Some were powerful,great wizards and warriors like Gandalf, Aragorn, Eomer orBoromir. Others were nameless, rank warriors that nevergot their names sung in the great tales of their time, butnone the less, they fought bravely against the evil armies of Sauron or Saruman, following their kings into battle andeventually, to death.

Although a great warrior and leader of men, Faramir wasnever seen as a hero by his father Denethor, who alwaysfavored his oldest son Boromir. More than once Faramirtried in vain to show "quality" to his father, well secondedby his company of rangers. Damrod, one of his captains,showed his own many times, faithfully following and servinghis leader in battle with no fear of death.

In this article you'll find a reference guide on how to paintyour own model of Damrod. It is by no means the only wayto go, so even if you stick to the way described below, feel

free to add your personal touch. Trying new things is alwaysa very good way to improve our skills.

I always try to stay close to the movies imagery but itproved hard to get some reference pictures for Damrod,mostly because it wasn't totally clear to me which of Faramirrangers featuring in the movie he was. I looked for a rangerthat had some sort of bigger part in the action and, in theend, I chose to use the one that informs Faramir of Gollumspresence, in Henneth Annn and later yells that the Nazgulare coming, in Osgilliath (top right).

Looking through www.framecaplib.com, this character

seems to be in only a few shots, mostly only showing hisface or too unrevealing for my needs.

In www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr I've found a few pictures of the rangers, and I selected one outfit that resembled themost with what I could see from the movie shots. This wasmy main reference source to paint this model (bottomright).
