I got drafted by my other game store, Gamescape North, to help them paint up some WOTR figures for their demo game at Kublacon. I foolishly signed up for 60 Orcs.

Test models, basecoated


Test models, washed with Paynes Grey and highlighted


58 more to go

Oh man, war of the ring seems so tedious.. I thought WHFB was bad, but at least it has some interesting characters and crazy monster, dragons and the like..

Nice paint job though, good luck with the other 58.

The nice thing is that the plastics paint up pretty easily

Mumakil, dragons, Balrog, trolls, Ents, Sauron, Ringwraiths, Fellbeasts, giant spiders.

Yeah, WotR doesn't have anything interesting. And its not like Middle Earth is the primary source for most modern fantasy.

Oh, and they look really good, btw.

Here's the painting queue: I was given the figures already primed and assembled with instructions not to worry about the bases.

good luck man.
your going to be seeing orcs in your sleep though

Finished the basecoats on the first 15, starting on the next batch of 15. Might wash the first group of 30 when done ... not sure.
