Well its been many a year since i painted any lotr stuff but with a chance of getting the wife interested in wargaming i thought i would have another go.

A couple of test paints for the orcs

Very nice, and it's encouraging to see that some people are coming back to LotR. I still can't get past those orc swords, though - they look like huge tomato knives.

Keep 'em coming.

Nice work.

Are Bilbo and Thorin both finecast? and are the Orcs from the plastic Hunter Orcs set?

olyreed · « **Reply #4 on:** January 22, 2015, 07:30:29 PM »

Yeah, bilbo and thorin are finecast. First time i have ever painted finecast and took some getting used to. Orcs are from the hunters box set. I was unsure about getting back into hobbity/lotr because of price, but i have a large lead pile of historicals and wanted to treat myself to this stuff before they get discontinued.
Elves up next then Bolg and Legolas

Elves test paint done, time to get on with the rest of the orcs and elves

Good luck with getting your wife involved in the hobby! These paint jobs and minis should be a great hook.

Great work and looking forward to more!

Thanks for the replies, I am enjoying this excursion away from historicals at the moment,
just got to find out what colour to do Bolgs skin!

olyreed · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2015, 10:30:06 PM »

Four more orcs done. Slowly but getting there

olyreed · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2015, 05:53:53 PM »

Finished Bolg on warg. Found it a struggle with the skin and i am really not sure about finecast. Give me plastics or metal any day

olyreed · « **Reply #10 on:** March 16, 2015, 09:36:58 PM »

Got the orcs finished.

Gangleri · « **Reply #11 on:** March 16, 2015, 10:41:34 PM »

Very sharp-looking. I like the white face-paint.

olyreed · « **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2015, 08:19:46 PM »

Bolg and companions

olyreed · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2015, 07:11:34 PM »

Got some more elves done today. Not many more to go now

Great painting work, really nice.
But those miniatures are not of the same quality as the first ones (like this trilogy compared with the first one, I think), IMHO.
