P_Clapham's Lord of the Rings Thread

[P_Clapham]

I've been painting LotR minis off and on since the Fellowship.  My figures are a mix of Games Workshop and Wargames Factory.  Once I get settled into my new flat I should hopefully have some new (and better quality) pictures for you.

When I read the War of the Ring book I was thrilled the Angband army list could field warriors of the dead.  I painted my undead to be less spectral and more corporeal looking.

Man of Rohan (WF) and a Barrow Wight painted in my old spectral style

A couple more orcs


The Witch King and a Man of Rohan (WF)


Here's an older group shot of orcs.  I'm not sure why my recent photography has been suffering so.  I am using the same digital camera, and am employing a light box as well.



A group shot of my Nazgul


Clearly I need to work on my photography skills a bit.

Those barrow wights and dead army figures are great!

Nice miniatures. And I think the corporal way of painting undead is actually nicer than your previous way.

What I cannot understand is why Angmar should have an undead army. I know GW published the rules that way, but basically Angmar's army where a mix or orcs, hillmen and maybe some mercenary troops from other areas. Just because the whitchking summoned some spirits to haunt the Barrow Downs doesn't mean those where his army. Guess it's just a way of selling different models.

That nonwithstanding, nice way to start an army.
