Title: Gutbukkit's Middle-Earth: Moria Goblins
Post by: Gutbukkit on 25 December 2014, 12:54:57 PM: So after selling off most of my painted Lord of the Rings miniatures I decide it was a big mistake and wished I hadn't. Thankfully I managed to find 80+ Uruk-Hai of Saruman stashed away (I don't remember having so many, I'd already sold a similar quantity of painted Uruk-Hai!). Saruman and his White Hand Uruks have always been my favourite.

As I also sold the rule books I intend to play games using Saga rules and the battle boards made by Frank.

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=55349.30 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=55349.30)

Printed out and laminated ready to go. Just need to buy the Saga rules now lol

Title: Re: Build me an army worthy of Mordor...
Post by: M Blakey on 25 December 2014, 01:37:12 PM: Perfect the bases are top too

I stupidly sold all mine off for £50 and spent well over £300 replacing it :-X
Title: Re: Build me an army worthy of Mordor...
Post by: Gutbukkit on 25 December 2014, 02:27:05 PM: Cheers. I feel your pain. There are a few bits I'm trying to replace, searching on eBay for items not going for silly prices. One good thing that came out of it is that I'm far far happier with the painting of these than the paint job I did on the others, done 12 years ago.

Post by: Gutbukkit on 02 January 2015, 07:45:17 PM: A little update:

I managed to paint 7 more Uruk-Hai warriors over the Christmas period. That's 2 points worth done.
I have 8 bowmen started, Lurtz and 8 pikemen on the painting table ready to do this weekend.

What colors are you using for the Uruk's skin?
Those reds look grand!
Title: Re: We are the fighting Uruk-Hai!
Post by: Vanvlak on 03 January 2015, 07:42:20 AM: Very nice. Hope you have some of those berserker chaps too - with the skin colour you're using they'd be grand. 8) 8) 8)
Title: Re: We are the fighting Uruk-Hai!
Post by: Gutbukkit on 03 January 2015, 07:54:42 AM: Cheers folks.

@Amalric: the skin colour is achieved using a triad of GW's new paints. First Rhinox hide, then a layer of Doombull brown, a wash of Agarax Earthshade, layer of Doombull brown and final highlight of Tuskgor fur.

@Vanvlak I do indeed have some berserkers. I bought them second hand on eBay to replace ones I'd sold so they need their previous attempted paint jobs stripped first.

Ah, good - given the recipe above, they'll look splendid. Go on, put them at the top of the list of Orcs to do :D

The berserkers get their fairy power spray bath tomorrow night then they'll be the next thing to paint. They were my favourite uruks to paint before. I should have at least 8 archers done to show you all before then.
Title: Re: We are the fighting Uruk-Hai!
Post by: Dr. Kevin Moon III esq. on 04 January 2015, 12:36:38 PM: These are lovely - the contrast between the skin and the leather is great, you often see the skin too dark on these models and they end up looking a bit too brown.

Tonight I finished off the Uruk-Hai Archers.

Title: Re: We are the fighting Uruk-Hai!
Post by: Gutbukkit on 11 January 2015, 09:34:03 PM: Good evening folks. Another week passes and 8 more Uruk-hai swell the ranks of Isengard. Unfortunately I only had these poses for the pike men so they look a little boring. Believe it or not there are 4 different "variations" here.

Lurtz and a banner bearer are nearly finished, hopefully tonight. Next week I start the berserkers who should by now be stripped of all paint.

Title: Re: We are the fighting Uruk-Hai!
Post by: Gutbukkit on 12 January 2015, 12:11:46 AM: Cheers. I tried not to make them too dark and black as they are in the film, I don't think I could pull it off well enough.

I managed to finish Lurtz and the banner bearer before bed. I also took a photo of everything painted this past month.

Title: Re: Middle-Earth according to Gutbukkit: Lake Town house
Post by: Gutbukkit on 03 February 2015, 05:54:27 PM: Something a bit different from Uruk-Hai today (sorry guys awaiting the Berserkers).

Needing a break from painting Uruk-hai I decided to paint up the Lake Town house I built before Christmas as seen here:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=72800.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=72800.0)

I've also acquired a rather substantial amount of Lord of the Rings miniatures over the last month and I probably have more now than I did before. I even managed to buy back the painted Fellowship I had sold!

This thread will now be the home to all future goings on in my little corner of Middle-Earth.

Love your scenery the house looks store bought! Keep up the good work... no get cracking on those berzerkers!
Title: Re: Middle-Earth according to Gutbukkit: Lake Town house
Post by: Gutbukkit on 14 March 2015, 10:54:32 AM: As with all things wargaming wise, I get distracted by other projects or in this case I've had painter's block (is that a thing?). This week however I've got back to all things wargaming related and yesterday back on to the Lord of the Rings project.
To kick off, I've painted up one of my favourite Uruk-hai models, an Uruk-hai Captain.

For tonight's offering I give you Uglúk, captain of the Uruk-hai scouts who captured Merry and Pippin and the first of the crossbow Uruks.

Title: Re: Middle-Earth according to Gutbukkit: Fog on the Barrow Downs
Post by: Gutbukkit on 01 July 2015, 09:53:00 PM: I've been away from this project for some time but have revisited it recently, taking a different direction to my Uruk-Hai.

Inspired by my local landscape and the hundreds of barrows dotting the South Dorset Ridgeway, my gaze has turned toward the Barrow Downs of Middle Earth and eventually to the Shire.

First up a small round barrow, inspired by one I visited at the weekend. Many more to follow, including a long barrow and a round barrow both with interiors.

Here's the real thing...
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_2053_zps72ab5cbb.jpg)

Post by: Little Odo on 03 July 2015, 08:51:05 PM: Nice round barrow. I am looking forward to seeing a few more. Will your long barrow be based on a famous one or will it just be a generic long barrow?

Title: Re: Middle-Earth according to Gutbukkit: Fog on the Barrow Downs
Post by: Gutbukkit on 03 December 2015, 12:21:39 PM: It's been a long time since posting any Middle Earth related stuff but as always with the release of the extended edition of Battle of the Five Armies and watching all of the appendices I felt like painting some miniatures.

First up is a Gundabad captain. A Finecast model which was the first of this material I've painted. It wasn't as terrible to paint as I expected and I'm quite pleased with the result.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_2635_zpsj0moogef.jpg)

And second is Éomer on foot. When I first bought the mounted version over ten years ago, the prospect of painting the intricate armour filled me with dread. Having finally braving it, I'm very happy with the paint job. More Rohirrim to come hopefully.

Post by: Gutbukkit on 05 December 2015, 06:54:07 AM: Thanks chaps. The Gundabad captain coul indeed easily stand in as an Uruk captain and probably will until I buy more Gundabad orcs.

Finished this guy last night. Théoden, son of Thengel.

Post by: Gutbukkit on 05 April 2016, 07:52:58 AM: Once again, I return to Middle Earth after not painting anything for it for months.

Wanting to expand my Isengard force but not wanting to paint more Uruk-hai just yet my attention turned to the Dunlendings. Here is the test piece for the colour scheme I will use.

Post by: Gutbukkit on 30 July 2016, 12:09:32 PM: So instead of building Lake Town for which I have no miniatures for, I thought it might be a good idea to build scenery for my Isengard and Dunlending force. Starting with a turf-roofed Dunlending long house.

The long house was a very simple build. The main building was made using foam board in a typical basic house shape. Then it was clad in balsa slats with support beam details on top of this. The side buttresses follow the angle of the roof slope down to the ground. The roof then sits on top of this all, overhanging front and rear gable ends slightly. Hope that helps. I really should take photos at each step as I often get asked how I made stuff.

Lol I'm glad you spotted that. I bought the white flowers last year when I made some barrows (where they typically grow) and was painting Eomer, I thought some Simbelmynë would be a nice thematic touch. I've since been using them on all my fantasy bases and scenery.

Check the GW site for your country. The Dunlending Warriors are still available on the U.S. site, so they may be available in your country.

Post by: Gutbukkit on 10 May 2017, 03:15:12 PM: The start of a new(old) army for me. Some goblins I painted yesterday. A quick (for me anyway) paint job, batch painted in classic colours with classic basing. These were some of the first miniatures I got for SBG, when I received the Fellowship box game for my birthday in 2001. Really happy with how they turned out and the speed in which they paint up. Very much looking forward to adding more and getting some of the other Moria related minis.
