Had then been geared up in the sacks and packs when they left the Shire I would have been down for this.

It's the artist license thing I mentioned earlier. There's loads of packs, pouches, rope etc on the Frostgrave frames, so each Dwarf could have been laden down with kit. But the Oathmark Dwarves are all armoured. I think Thorin and Co left the Shire without weapons, never mind armour. They have to take the trolls on with sticks. So my Company are armed for war, one would presume post taking Erebor, but without helmets so I can paint them in the right hoods.
Interestingly, Gimli had no problem setting off to Mordor in mail and carrying a shield and axe.
I haven't got the Hobbit to hand, but doesn't Dain show up at the Battle of 5 Armies with an army all carrying backpacks?

Sweet conversions they really look the part... might have to borrow some ideas from this when I do mine eventually.

Ori is painted (not based or varnished).

12 to go.

Loving this thread so far.

Ever since the LAF handover, my gaming buddy and nephew has been ribbing me - sarcastically telling me that from now on I'm to refer to modelling and wargaming as "The North Star hobby." This thread is making that a reality.

Great thread - which really highlights the fantastic opportunities for 'creative' modelling with all the NS plastic kits.

I bought at least a couple of boxes of all of them and have kept one aside for building militia for 20mm square based units for larger games - Lion Rampant upwards to KoW and even 9th Age.

Looking great.

Dwalin is nearly done.
I'm not going to show each figure as it's painted, in case I never finish, but I'll show the whole party when they are done.

Sounds like a target to aim for!
Ori looks great

great stuff!

Nick, please take into account the proper hood and beard colours:

not that I'm a rivet counter, but it's something that I always remember from the book descriptions (although I don't know them by heart)

Very nice project, and a proof of the quality of the dwarf set.

The GS work looks a bit crude at points, but this becomes unnoticeable as the painted figure shows.

Awesome project and well inspired! Hats off sir!!!!

Old posts never die.

My enthusiasm for painting Dwarves dipped in favour of Johnny Rebs, but I still felt Thorin's Company would be a great addition to our painted Oathmark Dwarf collection.

So I sent the rest of the figures to John Morris of Mystic Spirals.

Here's Balin and Oin!

I'll hold off posting again until all the gang is here.

Cheers
Nick
