Aaaand just completed texturing, painting and flocking 80 Sabots. Here is the last batch. What a boring part of the hobby that is!

Great work! Mass painting sabot trays can be a real chore but I think the work pays off in the end.

Absolutely, 80 took me about 5 days, as I had to keep doing other little bits in between to keep sane.  o_o

Transposing troops in Lord of the Ring/ War of the ring to Sword and Spear is easy enough with any thing in middle earth except Mumaks. Are they Large Beast or Monsters, when they are actually Monstrous Beasts. For the game I made them Large beasts with some Monster traits.
