Tolkienesque adventures project (upd. 17-12: Arnor infantry)

[Father Primus]

First infantry troops of the Witch-King.
I choose blue-greyish skintone to make northern orcs look more 'northern".

Normally I'm on the receiving end of similar comments, but I can't seem to get the pictures showing, no matter which browser I try... 

+++EDIT+++ My phone's browser seems to do the trick though...  Looking good, in an evil sort of way 

[anevilgiraffe]

Thanks! Because of their knee-long dress they cut and glue really well.

late to this, did you just cut down the legs? or did you do the arms and bodies as well?

I cut legs and necks (virtually they have no necks now). Dwarfs have quite a long arms in my opinion so human arms are good enough as they are.

Great project - well done!

[Pattus Magnus]

Really good work there. They have a very distinctive feel, with the skin tones and snowy basing, and I like it!

[Maxromek]

What a great idea with those dwarfs! I initially didn't read properly and did think they looked very short for Victrix minis

[Hupp n at em]

Those cut-down-vikings-as-dwarves are really excellent!

Can only second this. Brilliant idea and excellently executed. I just might steal it down the line 

Lovely project that seems to be lots of fun. These are Oathmark Orks, right? I think I built a couple of those, too.

[Father Primus]

Yes, these are Oathmark orc slaves - great miniatures.

I always liked the concept of Khazad-Dum Iron Guards - trading routs and posts dwarven guards fighting in "florentine" style with axe and sword. Converted mine from victrix vikings.

[Pattus Magnus]

 Excellent job on those conversions and the painting!

Did you cut off their legs and glued them back shorter?
Seamless job there, really came out great, I might steal this idea for future dwarf projects.

Yes, I cut their legs to ankles, then glued with a plastic glue and strengthened with green or brown stuff. Also cut their neck to achieve more dwarf-ish look. Also enlarged their noses and occasionally beards.

3d-printed ringwraith or maybe Witch-King himself!
Great miniatures from Bite the Bullet if a bit large for classic LOTR.









I was lazy and painted these miniatures using only zenital drybrush (except the horse which I painted in standard "horse way".
