Rohirim Heroes

Well, I started my river project, cut out some pieces of tile, added a bead of caulk along the edges and tapped some sand into it to texture the bank. Did that on Saturday, and apparently the directions on the caulk said it needed 48hrs to cure. Needing something else to do in the meantime, I finally bit the bullet and started painting some of my heroes of Rohan. Specifically Theoden, Eomer, and Gamling. I think they turned out fairly well, certainly not to compare with some of the paint jobs I've seen, but for me, I'm fairly happy with them. Enjoy :)

New Project

Decided to take a slight break from minis and try a scenery project: Rivers. I've got the Battlefield in a Box: Fords set, but I wanted to expand on it. Each set is approx. $25, which I feel is pretty reasonable for the conveniance and the product you get. However, I found the following link:

Considering we already have some extra 12x12" vinyl tiles and regular art type paints, it seems a shame not to give it a try. Cut out the tile last night, probably see if I can find a tube of caulk to make the river banks otherwise I could find some at Lowes or any other home improvement type store for $5 or so. Not sure how the painting is going to turn out (very blue, I would imagine) but it's worth a try.

Rohirim Finished

As promised, here are some pics of the Warriors of Rohan with Throwing Spears. Hope you enjoy :)

Rohirim WiP 2

Almost done with my spear throwers. Really all I have left to do is the spearheads and the designs on the shields, so unless something comes up, I should be able to get them finished tonight, and should be able to provide pictures as well. I painted the spear shafts Snakebite Leather, and used Bubonic Brown for the hair (my standard paint for yellow/blond hair).

Rohirim WiP

Well, didn't get as much done last night as I had hoped, but still made progress. Went for a short run, and then had to check out Update 6 for Lord of the Rings Online, so that cut into my painting time. I did manage however, to get the cloaks and armor painted. We'll see what kind of progress I can make tonight. Painting the metal trim on the helmets and cheek guards will probably take some time, as will painting the shields. Still though, I think I should be able to have them done by tomorrow.

Haradrim Done, On We Go...

Got the Haradrim finished over the weekend. No pictures, but I'll probably post a pic or two of some models I had painted previously, as the Haradrim really would not be much different from the ones I had posted previously. Now on to eight Warriors of Rohan with Throwing Spears. Finished painting the skin, and most of the clothing and the leather parts of the helmets. Hopefully can get most of the armor/metal bits done this evening. That plus the cloaks and spear shafts and hair is about all that's left to do on them.

Here is a trio of Black Numenorean Warriors. The middle one I added a bit more decorative effects so that he could pull double-duty as a Black Numenorean Marshal as needed.

Haradrim WiP

Started a new batch of Haradrim the other day, another group of six each of archers and spearmen. Got the skin and red cloth painted so far, and starting on the Dwarf Bronze for the metal/armored bits. Will have to go back through at some point with Chaos Black and fix a few spots where the Mechrite Red ran over, but that shouldn't take long. Hoping to get the bronze done this evening, then will probably start on the Graveyard Earth for the arm/leg wrappings.
