Those are some of the best Army of the Dead Numenoreans I've seen, fair play.

I've not been up to much since December(which I fully blame on my new christmas PS5) but getting back into it again. Picked up an old school Gothmog on ebay and painted him up last week. First time I've tried painting an eye and it's not perfect but could be worse

Great work! I can definitely see that it's an eye. Eye can see?

Put the final touches on these two yesterday:



I've decided that Lorien will be my main Good army for the time being, so expect to see me paint more elves in the future.

Lovely dead things!

I finished up painting some wargs which are probably the worst LotR sculpts I've come across so far. From the gaps, to the 2 poses and the weird flat part on their back I just don't understand it. I've heard the older metal ones are better so I'll be looking out for those. I tried to greenstuff the gaps with extra fur as best I could and it's not that noticeable from far away. I filled the gaps on one with vallejo plastic putty instead which looked filled before priming but turned out to not be filled at all!

The flat back part is strange. I thought that at first it might be a place for the goblin riders to sit, but no, that's further up.

Great painting work, either way!

I've been looking at lotr for a long time - have about 200 rohan warriors for 'ahem, historicals' along with some high elves.

Anyway nade the decision to expand my lotr and clear out some of my other projects.

Stage 1 is underway now:
Uruk-hai - bought a load of scouts and warriors.

Stage 2 is galadhrim elves (2x boxes,1-2 cavalry boxes and maybe some of the wood elves)

Stage 3 is the dunlendings. 2 of the regulars, the leader on a horse, 2 of the wildlings and if I'm silly enough sone of the fw huscarls.

Sounds like a pretty fun number of projects!

Dunlendings are one I've wanted to try but the FW ones are just a bit too pricey.

Thanks! It just clicked recently that lotr was what I wanted to expand on rather than more 40k or aos which doesn't really interest me. You know they hindsight thing where you realised twenty years later this is what you really wish you'd dived into rather than just buying a few models here or there or just 'liking' it?

My warmachine is complete and I'm looking to sell my infinity stuff...

Yeah to be fair the dunlendings are a bit on the high side. I do love the models though. Even better stand-ins for ^squint^ not-historicals than warriors of rohan.plus 2h weapons.

I'm used to the leaders and characters having the premium but the fw tax is a bit much. They'll be a longer term investment.

Finished a trio of Easterlings recently:

Nothing fancy, but I'm happy with them. With the upcoming Defense of the North book coming "soon" (GW's been saying that for a year now though ), I figure it would be nice to have some Easterlings painted by then.

It is indeed. Armageddon Dust, shaded with Agrax Earthshade and highlighted with a drybrush of Terminatus Stone. Real simple to do and looks decent enough.

I picked up some Rohan minis from GW and they arrived yesterday so I painted up a couple of those. They are partly for D&D purposes but also I really want to try battle companies.

I posted these on my painting blog but I figure to pop them in here too.








Love everyone's work in here, those Easterlings look really cool, love the bases.

Really nice to see more being posted here! Both the Easterlings and the Rohan warriors look great. Blue and white are nice shield colors.

Thanks both, appreciate it. Just adding the next couple I painted up. My little warband is coming together, going to hopefully pick up some Harad warriors so me and my wife can play battle companies.

Putting some time into a group of Riders.




Riders are done, horses are half there.


Turns out horses are quite complex animals to paint. Dozens of shades of dozens of colours and distinct markings/patterns depending on colour. I majorly fell down a rabbit hole when I started looking up colourations.
