No.76 - Oathbreaker (Dead of Dunharrow) GW Plastic

'The hour is come at last. Now I go to Pelargir upon Anduin, and ye shall come after me. And when all this land is clean of the servants of Sauron, I will hold the oath fulfilled, and ye shall have peace and depart for ever. For I am Elessar, Isildur's heir of Gondor.'

'Strange and wonderful I thought it that the designs of Mordor should be overthrown by such wraiths of fear and darkness. With its own weapons was it worsted!'

Well, I did it. The first figure I have managed to paint since my medical catastrophe of October 2018. It has been a difficult road, I can tell you. Not especially pleased with how it turned out, but there was a point when I thought I would never be able to paint again. Don't expect I shall ever again reach the heights of my LPL glory days, but it's a start and that is good enough. I'm back! A proper LAFer once more.

For your first miniature in almost two years, let alone after physical issues... looks pretty good! Welcome back.

Huzzah! Well done Dylan. Great news, and a very strong paint job on a very nice model

That figure looks pretty bloody good!

Wonderful!

Glad to see you back at it.
Your work has been sorely missed.
Welcome back aboard the Loony Express!

Looks ace to me, welcome back man.

That paint job is in every way a triumph!

Well, that's a brilliant thing to see on a rainy Tuesday. He looks great Dylan and nice to see one of these looking a bit more grounded rather than all blue-green.

#77 - Giant Spider - Alternative Armies

DSCN0638 by Kieran Me, on Flickr
Sculpted by the Amazing Kieran Billings, he's so awesome. What a great guy (don't tell him but I'm sleeping with his wife, I think he might be on to me).
Based on a 50mm base.

Love that dead of Dunharrow model. Excellent paint job to match!

Yes, I was never all that keen on Peter Jackson's lurid green tidal wave of ghosts. A tad over the top, visually, for my money. They really are lovely figures, but you have to look past the disgusting sickly colours on the pictures on the box. I bought them to use as Norse Draugr, or wights, or something like that for Of Gods and Mortals, so I wanted them looking a little less ethereal.

Thanks for the comments, guys. This really has been a big deal for me. I feel emotional about it out of all proportion to the scale of the achievement (hehe, painting one damn figure

).

Nice spider, beefcake! I hope my mother does not see that, she'll have a conniption, and I'll get an email saying "Dylan! There's a spider on the internet! Can you come and put it outside for me?" Luckily I don't think she browses LAF all that much.

This! That's a far more effective paint job than the glow in the dark green you usually see.

Nice spider too Kieran!
