A darkened metal base establishes the polished but strongly defined armour of Arnor’s soldiers. A brown-and-black wash shades the recesses without replacing the underlying metallic surface. Bright silver is then restricted to raised plates, preserving both the darker metal and the wash around joins and edges so the figure remains readable at gaming distance.

Mark Jones uses a temporary cross to transfer a hand-drawn Angmar symbol accurately onto a miniature banner. Establishing its centre and proportions on paper makes the small painted version easier to position. White shapes are filled out after the outline is copied, and black covers the construction marks, providing a simple method for repeatable freehand devices.

Three short recipes establish the principal visual features of a Codex Librarian: blue armour, a skull badge and an icy force blade. Dark armour recesses remain visible as increasingly pale edges define the plates, while brown and bone layers give the skull its depth. An ink wash separates the sword’s raised decoration from its pale blade, linking bright focal details to a restrained uniform.
