One is called "Forgotten Liberty" and is a fallen statue not unlike the Lord of the Rings Argonaths. In fact, I bought an Argonath bookend that came with the LOTR collector's DVD set to use as an accompanying piece and it scales quite well. This one comes pre-flocked as well as pre-primed and is suitable for play right out of the box. Not too bad, but I decided it needs some jazzing up.

The second piece is a dwarfish-type column that I think is meant for subterranean battlefields. It's name escapes me, it either starts with an N or O. There are others in the set, so if you can hunt them down you can have yourself a nicely themed board. I'd rather use mine as a Waystone-type terrain piece to match the Fallen Liberty and so will base it as if it's outdoors.




Thanks to the pre-priming, both pieces were simple to paint. I went with a white-stone look for both, giving it an Osgiliath feel and to make it more interesting on the gameboard. Each has only a basecoat, wash and about two layers of highlights. Some quick dabs of static grass and flock and voila! The Fallen Liberty's static grass is quite a bit brighter than mine and put on more thickly - it's also closer to the edges of the piece. I tried breaking it up a bit by flocking over and within the patches at times, overall I'm happy with the results.




Only problem I had painting these was my own fault - the bone basecoat I used was too watery and it really ran into the browns and grays around the bases. I touched it up later and covered it in other places with flock - can't even tell.

Looking forward to painting some more of these great pieces!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563559/6257446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563559/6257446.page GMT
The new stone color, however, looks fantastic. I love the look, on its own, and distinguishing it from the ground color gives both pieces a lot more character. The grey stone seems a little flat, though, by comparison.

Nice work, overall.
