Title: (AP 2016) 10mm LotR - First unit complete for Aug 1st
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 16, 2016, 09:01:06 PM
I've finally decided what I'm going to do for this years Army Painter and it's something easy  :D

10mm Lord of the Rings using mainly Copplestone and other as and when.

Evil to the left and good to the right. The bag at the top is full of Easterlings. Not much at the moment but the idea is to finish these before I buy more...

cheers

Madness.  Actually I saw these threads and thought about doing a 10mm army but couldn't find anything that whet my appetite, not being the wargaming butterfly that is Jimbibbly.

You'll have these done by next weekend then

You'll have something to put with that 10mm Gondorian farm you did.... erm... a while ago..

Weren't you going to do a scale version of Minas Tirith too?  ;)  ;D

Look forward to seeing what you do with these.  :D

For 10mm that barely qualifies as an army !

Are the Easterlings the Tajima figures? It will be good to see them painted up, mine look remarkably like yours at the minute.

There will be more coming (as in I've just found my Men of Gondor and a whole load of other orcs) and they are the Tajima figures. Quite a few have an amount of flash on them and I'm not looking forward to cleaning them up.

Forgot to ask what rule system are you planning to base these up for? Warmaster?

Either that or the fantasy version of DBA.

Thanks chaps  :)

First 'unit' is complete and although it's not a lot, I'll have to do this project in small batches so it doesn't get left to one side like so many others  ::)

More orcs next.

Possibly part of it  :)

Here's the next unit more than on track for next month but I'm not relishing painting all those trees  :?

Or indeed the teensy tiny stars that go above the trees...  :D

How about an ever so titchy stencil or stamp? I'm sure you could laser one...  ;)

No stars  lol

I did think about printing them out on paper and sticking them on (a cheap mans decal) because at this scale, enmasse I don't think it'll matter that much.

Rotring with white/silver ink? I know guys who used to use them for black lining 'back in the day'. Whenever that was...  ;)

Looking good though James. Nice to see the farmhouse again.

Thanks again gents  :)

Ray, you can get really fine white fine-liners in Japan but I think given the size of the shields it might not look right. Printing on photo quality paper should do the trick. I can set up a jog on the laser to cut them out as well which will help immensely  :D

cheers

!!!!!

Are these archival-non-yellowing in quality? Like are we talking Pigma Micron sort of thing? If so, me want so very bad! In fact any light colour opaque fineliners would be interesting to try.

The white fine-liners we can get around here are more like ballpoint pens and are therefore useless.

Don't know if they are non-yellowing mate but we're going again end of September so I'll keep an eye out an let you know  :)
