So cool to discover one more interpretation of LOTRO universe with minis. ARe you going to play a specific rule with them ?

Agreed, the blue highlights work really well.

Excellent work on these, love the snow.

Also, the way you highlighted the cloak on the wraith really capture the character of the LotR movie ring wraiths too, excellent stuff!

Thanks, gentlemen!

Some 3d-printed trolls. It was a first time I used only drybrush + washes/contasts (except some minor details that were highlighted).

I really like the way those trolls have turned out. The colours blend into each other seamlessly.

Great trolls, it's so handy having a few 3d versions of the GW one for some variety in pose. What a great age we live in for the hobby.

Those look excellent! That technique gave a very good set of skin tones.

Thought the Trolls were the 1/72 scale Dark Alliance brand.
They look fantastic.

Absolutely! 3d-printing makes our wargaming dreams real.

Very impressive work, but that Ringwraith has me wondering - why do they always run around with tattered robes? Just because you're incorporeal, you can't enjoy nice things?  lol

(Pretty sure the Witch-King himself is described at one point as having a shiny crown for his invisible head...)

Maybe in Angmar local factories were unable to produce high-quality cloth - unlike their more industrialized Mordor colleagues  :D
