Hello once again, people of Dakka...

I'm creating this thread to log my completed LOTR miniatures - I have a significant tendency to never complete anything. Recently however I've experienced an unprecidented level of productivity, and I'm hoping to continue that and paste it here for all to see! What you see here may not be particularly fantastic or groundbreaking, but it's finished, and that's something new and slightly scary to me

Anyway....

My Mordor Warband




And my Warriors of Minas Tirith




I'm very happy with them all in general, though the Warriors of Minas Tirith could be better - I just wanted them done as efficiently as possible. I'm particularly pleased with the bases - whilst nothing fancy, I think they look pretty great with minimal effort:


It's just Stirland mud, washed with Agrax Earthshade, drybrushed with Gorthor Brown and Ushabti Bone, and topped off with some dirt cheap grass tufts from ebay!

Soon to come are some more trolls (and orcs, oh so many orcs..) and some ranger reinforcements for Minas Tirith!

They look good! I'm quite sad this range is starting to fade away. Quite a lot of good memories here.

Thanks! Me too, there's some beautiful models in this line. Hopefully the rumours of this new design studio prove to be good for LOTR

Those look pretty good, a lot better than my own painted LOTR stuff (which was some of the first miniatures I ever painted).

I thanks man! This is my second dig at LOTR, the first being when I was nine the aim was for them to be good [i]enough[i*], as it takes me an unreasonable amount of time to do any better!

Nice work here! I particularly like that troll! - looks like it would have been a blast to paint! Keep it up, man. I for one would love to see more!

Thank you! He was. I love the troll models - there are two more on my desk awaiting paint Thanks for the kind words!

Nice work.

Also just had a little play with some troll stuff! [img]

Looks like the trolls are having a play day with some Gondorian stuff to me! Nice little diorama!

Loving all the pics I'm seeing here!

Awesome! I love the troll diorama

A great start to the collection!

Nice that diorama looks awesome! I love those mordor troll models!
Lately I've been wanted to bust out my lord of the rigs models and start painting them again this gives me a bit more inspiration!

Thanks all for the kind words!

I feel obliged to point out that the diorama above, in all its awesomeness, is Guyzor's and not mine! Just in case there was any doubt incredible work by the way!
