http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net LOTR bug. I'm a big fan of the Silmarillion, so first, I decided to work on a few Noldori models - using plane old Galahadrim stuff for the RnF.

Here are the first few elves, with Glorfindle in the lead:


I picked up a guy's collection that was getting out of the hobby for cheap, so expect to see a whole pile of stuff from across the range come up in here - next up I'm going to work on a few elvish cavalry - stay tuned!

I just noticed Glorfindle looks a bit blurry - I'll get a better pic up soon.

The Elves are looking mighty fine, I like the gold and turquoise combination. Glorfindel is looking great too clothed in that muted cream and grey. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1481303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1481303.page GMT LOTR stuff. The tiny faces get a bit fiddly when too much as added, what with me not being a GD winner and all.





Next up, a pile of spearmen and maybe a few heroes - we shall see.

Good to see a LotR blog.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1529620.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1529620.page GMT


I do like these models - it's nice to paint something in historic scale for a change.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1540808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1540808.page GMT lotr blog. Are you gonna paint any isengard or mordor stuff? And is this for gaming or display?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1540862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1540862.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1541634.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1541634.page GMT
I've finished a pack of first age heroes form the Silmarillion to lead my elvish army into battle - supposing I could find an opponent of course!

From left to right we've got, Boromir the fatally wounded, Feanor (with a Silmaril in hand), Thingol the grey (king of Beleriand), his wife Melian, and Turin Turumbar - Tolkien's anti-hero.


Hope you dig them! I'll post more when I have it.

Dan

and a WIP shot of Gandalf:



Thanks for the comments,

Unless you only painted him up 'cos you like the model, in which case don't listen to me

Otherwise, I like them. Good painting throughout, and the conversions for Feanor and Thingol are ones I wouldn't have thought about.

More please ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1576556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1576556.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1576840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288984/1576840.page GMT
