Just amazing! It took me months to get my minis looking good and they still aren't as good as yours!

Never get yourself down it's only a matter of opinion anyway (I feel the same though about my own minis so being a big hypocrite here)

I bought two new paints, Loren Forest and Castellan Green, I can't remember which one it was
I used for the old range. I will come back to you on this. Sorry


S.

Don't worry, I don't use that much green anyway, as I play grey knights.

Once again great modlez

I have a couple of greens, especially with LOTR I tend to mix up a lot of color just to try it out and such. One day I'll have all the citadel greens muahhahaha

Thanks and ill have to listen out for that evil laugh!

Hello everybody!

It's been a while and lots has happened in our LOTR world.
The Hobbit!! Does anyone feel like sharing their opinion?

The box set, aye pretty but expensive, no one on earth (or elsewhere) I'm going to get those any day soon.
I do love the Goblin King, he makes Jabba look like a Disney Princess
I did like the film, even though it's very different than the books. I like how the made the opening scene match up as a prequel with LOTR.

I have most of my mini's in one place now, so there is not many excuses for me to not paint. I'm going to put painting back on the schedule!!!
First going to sit around and decide which ones are going to get my attention first.

Hope you guys are looking forward to a new year full of LOTR!!!

<3 S.

Ill bite,

I enjoyed the film alot, really loved it for what it was

the boxed set while expensive has been one of the better purchaeses of my 2012, Nice models, No casting issues, the new rules work wonderfully & smooth, both me and my bro have played all of the scenario's out of the boxed set and are now onto points matched games. and still going strong.

If i had a camera i'd post a piccy of our fully painted boxed set & Board.

And yes, there is no esxcuse..... lol

The thing that depresses me most of the box set, must be that imo the models don't look really good. Nowadays a lot of models can look pretty much exactly like the human or whatever they represent.
Why did they -up Galadriel?! She is so pretty, how can that model look the way it looks? :O
Every time I see that model I can't help but feel a little bit angry.

Regarding to the film, I've seen it a couple of times, the first time I really had to get used to the different way of storytelling opposed to LOTR.
I don't really mind that the book and the film don't really match up. There is no use for a replica, I am pretty pleased with the film as it is, and I'm sure it will only get better.

How many games have you played so far? Get some pictures, I'm sure someone has a phone, no?

S.

Ah my dear, i have what i call a "Dumb phone" it calls and texts thats it lol.

We've played about 8 games sofar, I've been using the Goblins from goblin town, and my brother had Thorins company, the scenario's played brillianty, even if these were points mached games the senario rules made them flow really well, and it was a reall challenge for my brother to compleate a few of them, when we moved onto a points match game, we played a 225 point game using the BRB & Goblin town models, Thorins company consisted of Glion, Oin, Ori, Fili, I faced off with Two warbands of goblins, lead by Grinnah & the Scribe, with a Third warband with the Goblin king and two Goblins for...ammo... hehe,

The outcome: Thorins company HURT! we did not play for VP, Objectives or create you own scenario, wich we should of in hindsight as LOTR prefers a Story based game over a meatgrinder and boy.. was it a meatgrinder, Poor deployment & dividing my forces played into the dwarfs hands and i was picked apart and routed very quickly. even when i was winning prioity, i did however hurl a few goblins, and Fili ended up with a rather large goblin shaped bruise on his head. Woop!

Just read thru your blog, thats some awesome work you've done lass. I agree with ya that the Hobbit was a bit disappointing for me since it deviated from the book but oh well the feel of it was still awesome ( it does feel like a visit New Zealand ad at some points As for the boxed set, I've had the plastics in my hands and didn't like the dwarfs so much but I'm sure I'll buy a finecast Thorin's company when it comes out - the goblin king and Radagast do look super funky though ! Keep up the good work !

Thank you so much



Update time:

So I've painted my frodo like 3 weeks ago, so very much shame on me for not uploading. I also got a bunch of LOTR from a friend of mine who used ot play as a kid but decided I would give them a better home.
At some point of course I will upload pictures of them to.

Here is my Frodo:



My apologies for the quality but am in no possession of something that will give something cool. I need to find someone with a proper camera ^^

Thank you for reading my blog, don't forget to leave a comment
