but then nothing special's really happened recently

beside life in general

aye, other than that

Quick update time!
Picked up Durin, Mardin and Imrahil today, no painting done, just building.
I've began work to convert Mardin into a dwarf king, but haven't added the weapons yet (possibly tomorrow):

Yeah, very WIP- literally just cut and filed his new hands in, stuck a bit off a tomato puree tube for a cloak, and filled a hole in his beard (for his spear to slot into) with white-tac (not great by any means, but the paintjob and/or shield should cover it up).

Also, Imrahil is built (as well as a few of his knights- two WIP painted, the other four just basecoated- the two not shown have broken during transportation to games- curse you, plastic lances!)

sweet! i´ve now read quite a few times peeps using tomato puree tube material for banners and such ideas.... at first i thought you greenstuffed that cloak... looks very impressive!

Imrahil looks cool too... tho i think he deserves a bit more colorful a paintjob than his other cronies

Said Chronies are awaiting blue paint for their cloth (which is the huge black mass over the horses), so they'll be a little more colourful

and yeah, I really like Imrahil's model, very striking horse he has there

But yes, finished my Captain/King:


and him with his fellow badasses:

while he looks cool as hell... with his eyepatch and all... isn´t his axe a bit on the small side?

That axe is actually a two-handed dwarf warrior's
Plus if you compare it to everyone else's, it's actually slightly bigger, it just looks small for some reason

it's actually slightly bigger, it just looks small for some reason

best line ever... if you werent so bloddy young... i´d added another comment

yeah, looking back, that could be taken out of context...

what? i am totally surprised^^

Whelp, I've done a bit of work, but nothing really pic-worthy so far:
Based all my models for Panda's competition
Built most of them (one left)
Started work on the unit's banner
Bought and built 8 guards of the fountain court (these guys):

started painting the first guard
given them all shields

maybe pics today/tomorrow, depending on if he gets finished or not, and how tired I am

well... i look forward to the scheme then

Well, almost finished the fountain guard (couple of bits of gold trim and he's done)- lovely model, just time-consuming to paint, and there'll be 12 of them total

Well, I'm resurrecting this thread with my entry for Comrade's brotherhood competition:

will you add some force effects to the glaives?

and a wash or two would do these knights well methinks

but I gotta say... verrrry good looking brotherhood!

Yeah, I was planning on some better effects than a quick highlight and a coat of varnish, and adding a bit of a wash to the armour, but it kinda got last-minute so I had to skip it

hehe...no... not really... do the wash... now... darn... it is like yelling to my own kids now...

by the way... since we are on ordering terms here... i am secretly building an airship for the whole world to see....come and see

Saying that it's been a while would be quite the understatement, but here I am.

I'm not going to make excuses beyond general life stuff, but good news - I've been quite busy on the hobby side of things!

In order to not flood the thread with everything I've done at once, I'll space it out a bit.

First up, a smattering of Rohan (including my first forays into the wondrous world of green stuff):

Thorongil (Aragorn before the War of the Ring, when riding with Theoden's father)



Grimbold, Captain of Rohan


Captain of Rohan (Glorious fat with a muscle cuirass)



Erkenbrand, Marshal of the Westfold, of the broken sword




Elfhelm, Captain of Rohan, of the bendy spear



Eowyn and Merry, when fighting at the Pelennor

and there we thought you left the nerdy life style to be in a full time job with a newly formed family of your own... naawww... nerdy it still seems welcome back to the fold^^

Still a massive nerd, working part time, and no plans to start getting chained down yet
