Glaurung
« on: March 26, 2020, 04:06:05 AM »
Those of you who frequent the Middle Earth Wargames FB page will have seen these already.  Due to technical issues I couldn't post here until today.

Tolkien's picture of Glaurung showed him as very golden with a nice green head.  A lot of modern paintings show him as rather dark.  To try to incorporate both ideas I have used some green on the dragon and have made the limbs quite dark (this isn't so obvious in the photos, but in real life the limbs are very dark towards the extremities).

The figure is a modified metal Reaper Silver Dragon.

Very nice. Good brushwork.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
