Fallen Dwarf Leaders Completed (+ more) - Lord of the Rings

[affun]

Ah yeah, I mostly used to use that one too. Mephiston is quite a lot inferior (Goopy, not the same brilliant tone, too gloss), but I just assumed every one had run out of it, like I have.

Ive got to agree though. Looks great!

I do like the Dweller, I have one I must get assembled and painted up sometime.

Very nice work on the dwarves too, even though I still have a bit of hard time reconciling the idea of Fallen dwarves! But on recently re-reading The Hobbit, there were certainly references to them... the chapter 'Over Hill and Under hill' when discussing the goblins, states; "...in some parts wicked dwarves had even made alliances with them."

And I am fairly sure there were references to dwarves who fought on the side of Morgoth, in the Sil...

I've been concentrating on these three over the last couple of days, still a bit to go yet:

Looking really great!!

Thank you,

Tonight's progress, really cracking on with these now and I've managed to get the base coats on the bases now.  I don't think I've painted this quickly before but the sculpts are just a joy to work on, any way on to the pictures:





As you can see the two sorcerers have been finished off now so here's a close up of them:






I'm hoping the next update will be of the completed minis but that won't be until at least Sunday as we have a day of gaming planned for Saturday.

Love your painting on the Fallen Dwarf characters - just recieved a set from Neal on the strength of your work in this thread!

[Giger]

Cheers, looking forward to see what you do with them.

I have just completed the last touches to the Fallen Dwarf leaders and Dragon Fire team this evening, they have been a pleasure to work on so hats off to Miniatures Of The North.
Now on to the (many) pictures:
















And now all together and an army shot:

Wow! This is awesome! Haven't had a look at this thread in a long time and now it's full with great things! Love it! Really, really inspiring!

Who makes that sorceror with the brazier/staff???

Brilliant work on the paint.

[Giger]

Thanks guys, the force is really coming together now but they'll be a pause before anything else is done as the new units need sculpting (though hopefully they'll be spear men/dwarves soon).

Who makes that sorceror with the brazier/staff???

All the characters will be available directly through Miniatures of the North soon:
