Silmarillion and other Fantasy Stuff. Oathmark Elf, Dwarf and Mongrel Human

[Sunjester]

Those carpet tiles work well.

Crop your images, mate! All that cork board vastness makes your balrog look puny.

Fair comment.  I spent so long painting the bloody thing I just wanted to post a picture.
But, because you asked for it (don't say I don't do anything for you ) here is the new improved Balrog.........

That is a nice pic mate. Well done!

[Severian]

Very nice!

"The White Queen walks and the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing - unheard
Pleading - one word
So sad my eyes
She cannot see"












Slow, slow painting lately.  Only the White Queen to show for my efforts.
She could also double for a Noldor princess or queen, should the need arise.

Outstanding. Very nice. The backdrop really sets it off too.

[Severian]

Great stuff - and yes, a very effective backdrop.

Ruins have arrived from Urban Construct.  These are for ruined settlements in Dorthonion after the Dagor Bragollach, but can clearly be used for other fantasy and historical periods.
Great service from Dave at Urban Construct.  Pieces are resin. The only breakage was a walkway which will be easily repaired.

Painting is going slowly, but there are two knights and six skellies almost finished.

A couple of new knights:





Hmm now I see the photo I could have done better on the fleur de lis.  Perhaps I will come back to this.

All together:








A couple of Viking women - not at all historical.  The Armoured one my daughter painted with me doing touch ups and the eyes .   These were painted a long time ago, but only just based.  The mostly-unclad one I have no idea what to do with.  I will never game with it and only painted it as something a bit different to do.






And some old Saxons, painted a few years ago, pulled off their scenic base and now individually based.

[Ethelred the Almost Ready]

Some new miniatures join the Sellswords and Spellslingers party.


Metal Oathmark Dwarf


Metal Oathmark Elf.  I Zoomed in close the white on the shield looks rather shonky.  I have struggled with whites - either poor cover or grainy.  I am onto my fourth now, hopefully with better results.  Still, from the end of the table this doesn't look so bad.


This next figure has been modified.  A Gripping Beast metal figure with a GB plastic Saxon head and sword (replacing and axe) and cloak from Fireforge miniatures.



The current band for SS&SS.  This is using the rules more-or-less as written, no attempt at doing this Tolkien-style.
