After spending a bit more time around here lately, and being embarrassed at the wealth of talent and diligent Backlog reduction, I dug out some minis. As it happens, they are plastic trolls. These are not finished cleanup or greenstuffing and the bases have to be worked on so this is an early stage of WIP. I am trying to get some variety from the standard bits and pieces, so they don't all look too similar.

It should be easy to spot the bits I have reused elsewhere.

More to come, slowly but heck, anything beats doing nothing.

No painting until I get all the rough taken off these large smelly dimwits. They are just one tiny selection of my preposterous Backlog. Evidence? Well, here is a pic from maybe 2 or 3 years back, just of Morannon and Mordor orcs - I acquired more before the latest insane GW price rist/halving of the numbers in the box debacle.

Image

There are 734 of them... in that picture. I believe there are hundred(s) more still on sprues...

Don't think Kev can stand the sight of orcs anymore as it is, hate to think what he'd be like after painting that horde!

Also, what exactly do you play? Are you using a different set of rules or house rules or something? I just can't see you using the SBG with this kind of numbers. It would be insane!

...but then, its you, so it might actually be the case. :roll: :lol:

:shock: A wip thread? By Dorth? :shock:
I'll believe it when I see pictures of painted figures. Newly painted figures that is, not some old musty ones. :P

Quick! Someone send Lucifer down a parka, for surely Hell must have frozen over! :P

Honestly though, can't wait to see those Trolls done.

In answer to the rules question from MacGothmog, I most often play hard to get. :P

I do play some SBG and some WOTR but I am thinking about adapting a completely different set of rules to the Middle-earth setting so I can go mad with HUGE armies.

Speaking of madness: Uruks!

Image

And where are Gondor's armies? Here:

Image

And on horsies;

Image

And since DMS said I should keep all WIP in one place, here's something I last worked on a couple of years ago but will resume shortly - the Mark 2 version of the siege tower:

Image

At least some of the uruks are primed!

Nice collection you have there Dorth tho I'm guessing that is merely the tip of the iceberg.

Siege tower looks awesome 8)
