Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 18/06 Almost There!
« Reply #105 on: 18 June 2023, 09:35:18 PM »
So after repainting around 1000 bases I'm back! Looks like the salt crystal dried out but needed to repaint all of the miniature bases as it left white residue. So avoid salt crystals and store your miniatures in a more or less well regulated storage space.

Has been quite hot here the past weeks so not too much painting but working on some new battalions to finish my remaining figures. Then hoping to make some movement trays and then up to some larger creatures such as trolls. So plenty to come but may take a while.

Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 24/06 New Battalion!

New battalion finished with a slightly different wash method mixing army painter strong tone with vallejo thinner. Makes it easier to apply and dries more matt. Miniatures are mostly Games Workshop but with some conversions and 3D printed miniatures. Really love the Medbury Miniatures drummer and whip master. And started some new battalions to finish the queue.

Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 03/07 Orc Recruitment!

Pretty close on finishing another battalion and some more spares. Just need to finish the bases, this time mostly Morannon Orcs and some conversions of the standard orcs with bits from multiple kits and manufacturers. I like the heavily armoured Morannon Orcs as they are quite fast and easy to paint.

Excellent conversions! It’s a lot of fun seeing what folks are putting together with the various plastic kits available these days. I look forward to seeing yours painted!

So last of the battalions in progress and some new movement trays. Also some banners in the background, like the screaming faces. Not sure on The Eye ones so might redo those.

Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 07/07 Orcs!

So acquired new wood for the movement trays and managed to purchase some more orcs (and other factions) at a very good price. So another bunch of battalions in progress alongside the other ones. Long weekend, so finished most of the colorblocking with a wash and basing to follow soon. Think close to 50 battalions now. Hope you like them. Also did a quick count of my trolls and have managed to collect around 40 of them if I can find some alternative bodies to use the supplied spare parts.

Re: LOTR - Legions of The Dark Tower Army Update 08/09 Last Orcs!
« Reply #119 on: 08 September 2024, 09:32:22 AM »
So the end of an era, the last batch of Orc Battalions is finished! Bringing the current grand total to 49 Orc Battalions and no less than 1176 Individual Warriors. Took longer than expected but happy with the final result, next up maybe some trolls or wargs but who knows. Thanks for following.
