Travels in Middle Earth

[Ingarsby73]

Hello All,

I've been painting miniatures for years but have only started posting pictures of some recently on the super Wargaming in Middle Earth group on Facebook.

I thought I'd put a few on here too, as my first outting on LAF.

I'd been looking for figures that caught some of my mental images of Tolkien's world for a long time. There were the odd metal figures that were perfect, like Mark Copplestone's wonderful Wizard. Then along came the Oathmark and Warlord plastic goblins, and the fantastic Victrix Dark Age plastics. And 5 months of lockdown. So I got busy chopping, glueing and painting.

Here's a representative sample: that Copplestone wizard; a Reaper ogre doubling as a troll with some Oathmark/Warlord goblins with a variety of additions; Victrix Dark Age plastics turned into Rohirrim; and Victrix Gallic Warriors turned into Dunlendings.

The main influences are fairly clear I suspect - Angus McBride and Victor Ambrus.

Those are all very well done, I really like your take on LotR and choice of models! I haven’t been a fan of the Warlord orcs, but I like how you (and some other recent posts by others) have mixed the pieces with Oathmark and historical plastics. I might have to give it a try myself! Thanks for posting your work, I’m looking forward to seeing more!

They look great

Lovely work.  To my mind Tolkien would recognise his creations in 28mm...keep them coming.  Along with the other LAF threads much to admire and be inpired by.

[Hobgoblin]

Great stuff!

I really like that orc with the halberd in particular - and those Dunlendings look fantastic!

[LouieN]

Love the Rohan.  All are good. 

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great vision, great execution. I particularly like your take on the Dunlendings.

[James Morris]

Great to see these guys on LAF too!  I particularly like your repurposed Victrix minis.

[Ogrob]

Welcome to the forum! Great work on all these guys.

[AKULA]

Great job on the figures

A lovely introduction. I look forward to seeing more.

Mark.

[Spinal Tap]

They really capture the feel of LOTR.

As others have said please keep coming and post more pics.

[PaulRPetri]

Excellent work!! The orcs look just how I think of them.

[Ingarsby73]

Thanks for the kind words folks.

Next then, some elves. Noldor and Nandor, made principally from Victrix Dark Age plastics, with a few additions from Perry and GW. All very much inspired by Victor Ambrus's illustrations in the "Tolkien Bestiary".

Great work on these. Your painting style works very well for the LotR setting, I like it very much.
