Ragnar, king of Gundabad

After not posting anything for 2 weeks it seemed time to place some new pictures again. So, here's my brand new Ragnar, using the rules of either Thror or Thrain. I used the Dain miniature, cut of his arms, replaced the with the ones of Gimli and gave him a sword. Here are some pictures:





Hope you like him!

Far over the Misty Mountains cold - Dwarf Archers Completed

Hi,

After several hours of painting I have finally finished my archers. After someone told me painting the plumes purple would be great, I exactly knew how to finish the Dwarves. I'm quiet happy with the result. Especially when taking the fact school has just started again into account.

Here's a group shot from the front.

 Here's one from the back
And here we've got some close ups.
Hope you like them just as much as I do. I've not yet painted the bases because I'm not sure about whether I'm going to keep these ones, or just search for some spare bases and make them look more like a mine floor, so without stonework. Well, there goes my free week...
By the way is anyone else having the problem that your little sister is singing One Direction songs all day, even when you try to concentrate on painting? As it's getting realy annoying...
Well, as I need to study for the rest of the week, I'm not going to post any more pictures, which means I'm going to wish you all a very nice week now and I'm going to say bye.

Yours sincerely,


Rowan

Far over The Misty Mountains Cold - First Dwarf Archer painted

So, after a few hours of painting, I've finished the first archer! Overall I'm quiet happy with the painting job, although I hate how the plume came out, so I might paint it over using another collor. But, as I don't want to keep you waiting, I've got the pictures here:

 another one from the back

From the front.

I hope you like him as much as I do. But what do you think about the feather? should I repaint it in some other collor, and which one? Also I'd like to know what you think of adding snow and coal to the bases.

Yours sincerely,


Rowan

Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold... Dwarf Archer Warband

So, after an hour of sculpting, I've finally prepared my Dwarf Archers to go onto the painting table. But, as I don't want to keep you waiting, I've got some pics of them for you here:
And here's a close up on one of the archers:
And here's another picture from the front:
I'm quiet happy with them, and I hope you'll like them too. I'm going to start painting them tomorrow, so they're probably going to get online by then. Otherwise, I'll upload them next weekend.

Yours sincerely,


Rowan

There and back again from the most stupid thing in my life: putting aside Lord of the Rings for school

So, here I am, finaly, again. So, I'm working on 5 gaint eagles now. I'm probably getting all five models on Christmas Evening, but, as I've kept you waiting way too much way too often I've actualy got something to see: This is how the first eagle should look like after sculpting and conversion on one of the awesome eagle sculpts from http://gamezoneminiatures.de/
So, here it is:

Trading a book for Dwarves with bows

So, I'm going to send my old Gondor in Flames Book to Drumstick (from The One Ring), in exchange for 12 dwarven warriors. I'm going to convert them all into archers, for example swapping the handed weapons of the Dwarves for bows. So, within 3 or 4 days, I'll post the conversions, then I'll have a break to go on vacation, and after that I'll get them (as I'll paint them in my vacation) online as soon as possible, and after that I'm going to post much more, like Battle Reports (already got around 5 challenges), other Dwarves like Ragnar, leader of the Iron Guard, of course together with his Iron Guards. Hope you'll like them. About the Battle Reports, One's probably going to be 700 points against Gondor, one 500 points against Moria, but the others aren't sure yet. But, it's time to finaly bring my stuff to the Post Office. Bye.
