I'd say you achieved what you set out to do, the contrast between the armour/weapons and the spiritual host looks great.

EDC

Thanks, EDC, v kind

Very nice. I tried something similar with some RAFM wraiths, but yours turned out better.

My Imperial Guard seem to be getting a lot of love now!

A DKOK Commissar tank commander in his turret (counts-as Pask).

I doubt the hull will get done for a while, so I thought I would get a pic of the turret up to keep up momentum




Making my new total for the year so far 10

Great work on the LotR stuff. I did a couple of those Barrow-Wights years ago, and then bought some more models to paint in the same manner that I never even started. I might have to search them out and get them done. Turret looks nice as well.

I have got a bit more done on my Knight Lancer!

The plates are done from the waist down - No decals applied yet, I will do them all at the end.

That is a very dynamic pose. Does the model not fall over? I look forward to seeing it all finished.

I really got lucky on eBay - It was cheaper than new, assembled and all the silver parts airbrushed

The foot is pinned to the base, and it's pretty stable!

Not much painting done this month, but at least the last 3 Dunedain are done:



5 old-school Orks on the list next

I like those Dunedain. I bet they'd make a nifty Robin Hood-themed warband for SoBaH or Frostgrave, as well.

Thanks, mate. Yes, good call, maybe with Gandalf to be their wizard

5 more old-school RT Orks:



The Nob and banner bearer were from a Kickstarter last year, the boyz are true RT figures. This finishes my second unit of 30 boyz!


Making my 2017 total now 18, a little bit behind where I'd hoped to be, but not a disaster

Those retro-modern boyz fit right in with the classics. I love the bright green skintones-- Goblin Green FTW!

Greta stuff. Josh is right, those KS figures fit in perfectly with the classic RT-era Space Orks.

Dem Boyz.

Cheers, guys!

Next up, some woodland markers to define the boundary of woods for LOTR - a bit less exciting but it all counts

Done my woodland bases - 2 of 3 trees and 1 of 5 trees.

Bare:


With trees:


I'm quite pleased

Nifty

I like those, very nice.

Nice work. Definitely effective for what you need them to do.

Thanks, chaps!

The weather has finally been nice enough to get some spray varnish done, so I have been working on the basing backlog.

First up, my 2nd full warband of Uruk Hai:


Then the last 5 Orks I showed:


And the lascannon, shown here with 2 volunteer crewmen from my old Penal Legion, who are now acting as Veterans :


I have also finished 2 more Barrow Wights, they will be shown off once based. Plus I have a Leman Russ tank hull about half done, and 2 LOTR journey book foam hills underway, so lots to look forward to

Nice work all around. I particularly like the uruk-hai.

Agreed - very nice work here, and the basing really completes them and brings them up.

Thanks, Josh and Az, kind words

The baseathon continues - Based the Nazgul and Dunedain:



I have also painted 2 more Barrow Wights, and based all 4:


And completed 2 hills in the style of the LOTR Journey books:


AND done the hull for my counts-as Pask tank:



My 2017 total now stands at 31 - Looking good for beating last year's total if I can keep up the momentum

Nice work, Slinky. Keep it goin.

Excellent. The finished bases really make the models feel cohesive. How do you get your static grass to stand up like that? Are you using pre-made tufts?

Cheers!

@Josh - The greener grass is just squashed onto PVA glue by hand, but the darker stuff that sticks up is pre-made, yes - Army Painter "Winter tufts" I think.

Vrasku and 3 Uruk Hai crossbows done:


You can tell the Perrys were involved, these guys look like some kind of medieval Italians to me

I have 4 more crossbows to do, will get them all based once they are done...

Great stuff, Slinky - you're really tearing it up on the LotR front now, and the Russ looks very cool as well.

2 more LOTR Journey Book hills are complete:



I am currently working on the big hill from those books, which is cut down the middle so you can use it as one big hill or as 2 halves at the edges of the battlefields.

Also getting some more done on my Cerastus Knight Lancer, should get some further WIP photos of that up soon.

I spotted something on my shelf I have never shown off here - A cardboard Malcador Defender!



Unfortunately I can't claim responsibility for the base model, I got it on eBay a couple of years ago for about 15 pounds. Then I tarted it up with a hunt through my bits box, I think it looks pretty good
