Interesting project. Can't wait to see that building painted actually, just shows what you can do with almost anything. 8)

Ohh, my favourite topic: LotR.
Yes, please keep us informed. I've always wanted to do little things on the side like Beorn or Brand and the likes. However, I have absolutely no skills in working with green stuff and the like.

Well, last thing I heard that the Hobbit and the other movie are in danger of being stopped due to some financial disputes with Christopher Tolkien. However, I really hope they'll be able to finish them. Lots and lots of new characters to look forward to...

Thats coming along nicely. Nice job on the Ents face by the way, there's something about it I really like. Did you think of making the Ents arms/branches a bit longer?

sadly no, because the main 2 arms are in fact imho WAY to long even now, any longer and it might have caused the miniature to stumble.

Nearly!  It's actually "Barliman Butterbur" - Bugman is the Dwarf Master Brewer in Warhammer. You were def on the right track, though  lol

Your painting is improving though - even looking at your first hobbit at the start of this thread, this new chap is much better.

Great stuff!

And a cool mini to add to this.

I've seen the rangers and imediately the little nerd in me woke up: you do realize that the black banner with the white tree is the royal flag of Gondor. It may only be carried in the service of the king (one of the things that got me worked uo in the movie). The flag of Gondor under the guidance of the stewards is a silver tree on a white field (which looks absolutely stupid...).

Where DID you buy the basing kit for the Ent??

And yes, the film had it completely wrong about the banners - Aragorn unfolding the black banner on Pelennor Fields was the main instigation of the returning heir to claim the throne.

The scene in the extended DVD with Boromir shouting after retaking Osgiliath was about right, though... I just don't think the tree was silver..??
