Yeah my first ones were "glowy". But I thought they looked a bit too cartoony so i stayed with a more ethreal darker spectre like dark tone.

thanks all!

I like the colour scheme. Quite similar to the one I chose for AotD. I'm no fan of the neon green paintjobs I see about.

Greetings all!

Time for the first update in a good few years now. I was just looking through some of the past pages and have found some things I can update you all on. So whilst I try to remember the photobucket details in order to upload new piccie, here is what the new updates (give me a few hours lol) will bring.

- One more picture of the huge backlog.
- The Captain of the dead has a new piece of wargear and the base is done.
- Mounted Hornblower of Dol Amroth WIP
- The dark lord Sauron himself has been started.
- A few plastic galadhrim to complete a company of 8 (only had 3 metal ones)
-Some new scenery.

That's all I can say for now.

I know, I know. less words - more pictures! :oops:

Corsair

Ok, so. Sooner than I expected.

The "collection" :wink:

Image

The Boxes at the back are The Dark Lord Sauron (opened yesterday) and although you see knights of Minas Tirith, within are actually 2 sprues of moria gobbos.

The Mordor Orcs, Dwarf Rangers and Uruk Hai are all the old 20/24 manboxes - not the half-baked newly packaged range.

To business:

Dol Amrorth Hornblower, the first of 6.

Still need to do the base, tidy the underside of the shield and the swan on the front of the shield.

Image

Image

sorry about the quality - been so long taking photos that I have forgotten how! :oops:

Finally, A random piece of scenery for WoTR - I have a few more pieces I shall share soon!

Image

The base isn't cut yet, nor the far corner or the base painted.

C&C welcome.

ps. it has been a few years since I last painted guys - go easy ;)

the SKoDA looks very nice :yay:
especially after a while of non-painting 8)

I reckon a matt varnish could work wonders here

Great to see you back mate. How's it going?

I look forward to following your painting again, looks like you have a fair amount to get through and seem to be getting back into the swing of things pretty well.

Update time.

I am in the process of getting a new game table so I am trying to finish full companies to showcase upon - So think of everything you see part of one massive WIP (The great battle of our time or something).

Firstly, in order to do my WoTR showcase, I need some trays for the hordes of evil and armies of good and let's face it - the GW ones are rediculously expensive. So after I'd finished creating the bases for scenery, i used the rest of the 'board to create some trays. The 4' x 2' board cost £5 - how many movement trays can I make on that dya reckon?! :D

Well, heres the sample tray (ignore the minis on them):

Image

I only cut out 3 to see how they look - Once they are painted up I think they'll look more than acceptable. 8)

Here's the finished Captain of the Dead - the shield being the final touch!

Image


In an attempt to fill a company of 8 galadhrim w/ bows, I have got some plastics to add to the metal 3.

Here be the first one, his cloak is coming along needs a few tweaks. The gold needs a few more layers - it looks way too thin:

Image

Onto the forces of Rohan, got some new troops in the form of a company or bowmen and a company of hand weapon troops.

Here are the latter:

Image

Cloak and shield are pretty much done!

Image

Image

sorry this last one is out of focus! Trying to highlight the leather but it looks poor so far - needs loads of attention - the flash doesnt help though :o The hair needs more layers and skin needs to be done. Tried a little NMM on the centre of the shield, looks lame I know may go over it in a yellowish tint (the white looks nothing short of odd lol)

Finally - The Dark Lord Sauron! Armour, metals, the One Ring and mace done. Next update will show the finished model with the cloak and base done (and hopefully a varnish coat too).

Image

Hopefully this second picture can pick up the gold of the OR better. If not, it shows more armour and a different angle anyway in addition to a few highlights on the cloak I started:

Image

C&C welcome - I'm aware of some problems such as the horrid mould line on the warrior of rohan which i missed completely :oops: and the leather highlights on the same mini. Go easy :oops: :x

Great highlighting on the Dunlending cloak - looks great.

I'm jealous that you have room for a gaming board. I have a gaming board but its only about 10cm square lol, tough to stay out of the way of the archers :o
