I've liked those old Citadel wights for many years, especially those two on the left. Nice work!

How about that fourth one from the left, looking out at us, with a knowing smirk?

Post by: Pil on April 01, 2012, 05:42:55 PM: Thanks Arcturus, your entry is great! I think a bit more scene setting (grass and plain backdrop) would have helped your entry. The painting is very nice on the riders, the orcs and the castle alike 8)

Thanks all for the kind words, I quite like these wight models and I think I will put some extra love into them at a later time now that the deadline has passed. I had to really scrape the hobbits together though! From left to right they are Harlequin Bilbo, Harlequin halfling, Citadel Halfling, Harlequin Frodo and Citadel Frodo.

Nice job on those Rohirrim Arcturus - love those minis!

Pil - loving the Wights - especially the weightlifter on the end! ;)

What an eclectic bunch of Frodo's too. :D

I have seen many halflings in my time but never the one 2nd on left "Harlequin halfling".......where did you source him from as I thought I had all of the Harlequin halflings......

Post by: Pil on April 02, 2012, 07:44:09 PM: I think he was given to me by Malebolgia, but it could have been Raz. The tab said "Harlequin" but that's about all I know, sorry.
