Most unusual and creative choice for the Tolkein round -- love the wolves!

Beornings- there were a lot of things I expected to see in this round, and Beornings wasn't one of them :)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

I had considered doing Beorn myself, but couldn't come think of what I'd do for a battle with what I have on hand.  Nice choice!
-I don't think those wolves stand much chance against those bears ;)

Greetings

ah Mr Matakishi, Sir. It is my honour to cross the brush against you in this round. Though I have failed already :? due to health... but lets put that away.
I like your entry very much. Axe wielding "Bears" .... I would not have thought about them.
Me, I wanted to enter the "Second White Council" from Mithril.  As I couldn't finish you have now the second wave of pirates.

Have a nice round and an amazing LPL

What a shame, the council would have been a great entry. Will we see it in another turn?

Matakishi, can you identify the large bear with axe in the background for me? I know the others (at least I think so), but that's one large nasty fella I'd like to add to my bears

Greetings and good Morning
What a shame, the council would have been a great entry. Will we see it in another turn?

I will eventually post pictures here when the whole set is finished. It won't be for the LPL though. With the Bonus pressure from the Round Five away I will try some things on that set at my own pace. I would like to try painting the base and table as explained in Ana's Marble Base Tutorial at Chest of Colours. (The website is offline right now so I can't put the link right here).

We will see if I will manage to achieve that result. And others.

Have a nice day all
Jo

The big bear with the axe is a D&D plastic werebear.

Ah! I always underestimate what can be done with such plastic with a decent paint job!
