LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army - 12/06 Progress!

[Little Odo]

That's a crazy amount of miniatures - what do they look like all ranked up together? Looking forward to seeing them if/when they are in action.

Thanks, might have overdone the numbers a bit but it's a longtime project of mine and one of my favorite settings

(and have most of the minis already in stock, thousands of them)

I don't have pictures of them all together as I need to finish the movement trays first but some can be found in this thread

(see page 3 at 30 battalions so add another 20 with your imagination and that's it  )

Pretty eager to get them into action as that's the plan when, I can only guess though as I need to to start The Last Alliance armies too.

Eventual the grander plan is to then use the Orcs, Elves and new Dwarves and Goblins for a Battle of The Five Armies game.

That said that's the plan ...

In the meanwhile I decided to finish the Warg Riders next for this army. All second hand miniatures, think 64 of them.

Only 64 he posts

Note that in fact I have around 155 warg rider models, but wanted to keep some for other projects too. For this part I decided to only use the plastic ones too as I have some much nicer metal ones stored too. 

Managed to yesterday, miliput the gaps and finish the basing texture before thinking on how to actually paint these fine creatures.

Great to see those riders are being put to good use after many years of confinement in a box underneath my gaming table!

And with so many friends too

They won´t be lonely that's sure

Some more progress!

Every time I think that your army couldn’t get any bigger, it gets bigger 

The warg riders are looking sharp. Will you mix in a few colour variations on their fur? I find that a few darker and a few lighter mixed through a horde breaks up the unity a bit where orc armies are concerned.

Thanks, thought about that to speed up painting I paint them in similar batches of eight models. With color differences between batches, when all the batches are finished I can mix them to create a more mixed look. Faster painting and a nice mix of colors.
