Post subject: | Turin and the Outlaws? |
hey all, im thinking of doing a small force based on Turin and his Outlaws from the book 'The Children Of Hurin'. I was thinking of using some lightly converted Rangers models for the Outlaws, and Duinhir with a bit of conversion work for Beleg Cuthalion, but im struggling for what model to base my Turin on. I dont know if anyone on here has done this, or if youve got any ideas, but please share any thoughts/ideas =] |

This is something I have thought about a lot as Turin is one of my favourite characters. I have not been able to decide on a conversion as yet so am interested in any suggestions this thread may have to offer. |

My first thought was using Cirion as a base, and using Green stuff to model the Dragon Helm but ive gone off that idea. |

Not much help but I'm thinking of having a scratch sculpt done for Turin. I've racked my brains for long time to find a conversion idea but yeh I'm stumped too |

Post subject: | Re: Turin and the Outlaws? |
never thought of a scratch sculpt, im not sure my skills are up to the job to be honest with you =P We'll see what they bring out for 'the Hobbit' maybe a jewel will turn up from that? |

Post subject: | Re: Turin and the Outlaws? |
Yes of course something may well come up that is well suited from the new range. My skills with putty are not up to it either but a simple private message to the One Rings resident sculptor Mr Ukfreddybear should do the trick |

If you still want a conversion - how about Aragorn or Boromir? |

How about this figure: http://www.magistermilitum.com/product. ... &PT_ID=228 I've just ordered it to use it as Túrin, as I needed some horses from Magister Militum anyway. I believe the shield is supplied loose: It certainly fits my idea of Túrin, the armour looks like the one of the book cover and it's damn cheap! |

The one on foot looks like a sweet model, but the scale looks off? |

Is he head to toe in chainmail? Thats easy enough to do, albeit a little labour intensive. I've been known to dabble with the putty. |

I didnt think he was at the 'outlaw' stage, but theres a lack of images so artistic licence could come into play. |

That model is indeed a good fit, but purely as a model it does not impress me - a very "wooden" pose, a weird head and that horse has got it's front leg bones melted or something... Still a good find. |

Post subject: | Re: Turin and the Outlaws? |
The figure arrived today and as promised, here is a comparison picture: However, do note that I cut off the little metal slab that it was standing on, otherwise it would have been way too tall. I hope this is helpful. |
