Thanks! that base was only temporary. Here's his final base. A small bag end vignette made using the forge world hobbit hole. I cut it down and mounted it on a piece of shaped and sanded oak plank. I might out some stain on the wood at some point.

I think a bit of wood stain would look good, yeah. The whole thing is great, of course. That is a hobbit hole and you can tell it means comfort.

Gandalf and Boromir from the original fellowship.

Love the basing on these mins, basing like that takes a fantastic miniature and take it even higher in the quality levels. Ps love the Hobbit hole too.

Great work again .....

Do you guys know if there is similar scale creep in Middle Earth SBG like in Warhammer/AOS?

Will the original Fellowship look out of place next to newer character models?

I don't think the scale creep is anywhere near as bad. My original fellowship looks fine next to the new personalities of Bree for example.

I have a Rangers legendary legion in the works. It was going to be armies on parade but the green cloaks were a nightmare to sort out

Looks nice Kan. I'll be starting him after i've finished Barliman.

WIP on my own Barliman. Such a nice model. Using mainly oils here.

Barliman and Balin done.

Butterbur looks like a fun guy

Those are pretty spectacular, QAR!

I am so excited for my Moria stuff to come in so I can start posting in this thread.

Designed my Moria army to be dual use for MESBG and Dragon Rampant, so when I want a beer and pretzels dice roller I can play Dragon Rampant... but when I want something a bit more mentally engaging I can play MESBG.

Great to hear! Did you plan to use legendary Moria formation?

I've started my Defenders of Helm's Deep. Just gotten them primed so far.

Here's some more photos of the other sections.

And the last one. Is it just one picture attachment per post?

You can do multiple photos in a post. There should be an add another file option in the post reply page

I had no idea about Legendary Formatioms until I read this post haha. Been scouring the internet trying to read up more on them... The Depths Of Moria formation really doesn't seem fun for casual play in all honesty.

Cool have you made some progress on these?

Here is the paint scheme for my regular ground troops of Mordor

That's going to look very effective in a gang!

What sort of grass is that on the base, it's very "Mordor"

Thanks, they are a charming batch :-)

The reddish brown grass is Army Painter Steppe Grass, the green is AP Field Grass.

Anyone convert fiefdom models, or do any interesting conversions other than the usual "bandages and cloaks for osgiliath veterans"?

Gimli from the original fellowship.

That's very special, well done!

@queen_annes_revenge that Gimli is astounding!

Hello to everyone! I've just gotten back into the swing of things after a year off the hobby and what started it again for me was picking up the Pelennor Fields boxset. A new gaming store opened up near me and I wanted to support them so when I seen that on the shelves I just dove in. Big fan of the movies and I used to collect the weekly model magazine as a kid(still sad I don't have them anymore!). What's even better is I convinced my partner to start with me as she's a massive fan of the movies too but has never collected warhammer before. She's went for the Good side and I am Evil, just like our relationship I'm sure she'd say.

I've a zoom catchup with my hobby group this evening and will be starting on some Orcs. I also picked up some choice metal minis from my local second hand market I can't wait to dig into:

The Pelennor Fields is a brilliant value bundle, and has a fab set of models.

Some great choices of metals in there too - Poor old Boromir, though

Just wanted to share my first painted models from the Pelennor Fields box. I wanted to dry out different skin types to make the sculpts stand out from each other. I like the yellow and green the best, and a friend suggested to do the rest with a mix between both colours which I will be trying. I've 11 more on my paint station right now primed, metals done and first wash drying:


Also tried out the army of the dead which come together very easily. I did one to show the missus through the steps and she did the other:

Nice, can you give me a description of your method for the Army of the Dead?

AotD are looking great - I did mine with a single wash, yours have obviously had a bit more attention
