Painting some stuff for Middle Earth

Birch baddie in progress, getting the base colours down before I tidy up. Went for a walk today and got tons of inspo

I believe he's one of my favorite character.

decided to crack out the green stuff world gold pigments to test out on these easterlings, i dont think this video captures just how nice the sheen is after just one coat

Rangers of the North, warband for Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game. Models are Nights Watch from A Song Of Ice And Fire.

The shouting chat with the straw hair and the sword and dagger looks like Aragorn to me.

A reminder to myself of why I don’t do freehand

March's painting! My partner was away for most of this month so i took the chance to try and burn through a huge batch all at once, painting all the Gondor models I have. This is fourteen Warriors of Minas Tirith, ten Knights of Minas Tirith, and a Gladiator for my Black Templars (not from middle earth)

This all puts me at 48 models painted for the year. Including models bought and sold that puts me at -69 for the year. Nice.

I have warhammer events early in May and June so what I should probably do is prepare for those by painting the Marshal for my Templars and then some Imperial Fists... but what I really want to do is paint Farsight or some more Tau, to try out with the new book. I'm well ahead of my goal of ten models a month, so could very comfortably focus on a couple of single models or something.

Progress on the warhammer board! Foam is down and landforming has begun!

First were two soon-to-be rivers, carved with great difficulty. They will be made more aesthetic when the time comes for modelling compound to be slapped on it.

Tonight’s actual work was a lot of raised land,l. Cut using a wire cutter (with probably not enough ventilation) and currently sitting without glue on top of the table, as I have not totally decided on positioning for everything.

The meat of Orktober: the Fighting Uruk-Hai!

I did some light modding: turning six sword-only uruk-hai scouts into berserkers (with two-handed swords) and ferals (with two weapons), a banner-uruk (the reverse has scrawlings in cirth that amount to 'middle-finger [at] everyone'), and a drummer and priest of Morgoth.

Conceivably, I could use another banner, but practically, I haven't been able to fit in a second banner in Lurtz's scouts before 800pts, which is well past their peak. Similarly, if I need a Scout Captain, I'll probably grab one of the berserkers.

There's definitely room for expansion on the side of the warriors/siege troops. I don't particular want to get siege engines, but some bombs, ladders, and enough uruks to credibly assail Helm's Deep would not go amiss. Not sure how I want to handle crossbows yet, whether that's bashing some together or biting the bullet and getting official ones... *goes and looks* ...oh they're failcast, to heck with that. Bashing it is!

For the other parts of Isengard: I have warg riders (not quite 400pts; would need a second box to actually field the Legendary Legion), and Dunlanders (about 600pt), but they've yet to be painted. All built, though.

Since I am phasing out twitter gradually I think I should start off with a model that I personally had a blast painting but a character whom is one of my favourite from the works of J.R.R Tolkien! One day I'll get a better set up for taking photos of miniatures.

[gort-grundlekin]

Finished four more tiles and decided to make a test board stuffed full of random shit

Hobby journal : I took old Theoden that I painted quickly last year and spruced it up.

Noldorin Elves of Eregion, pledged to the defence of Imladris and the command of Elrond.

I'm building up a small force of Rivendell for games of MESBG after a demo game got me lightly hooked. It's a solid rules system and the smaller scale minis are a fun challenge.
