Lovely, Pil! I've always had a soft spot for those old Citadel Barrow Wights (still even have two or three myself). Great to see them gathered together.

Pil, you must have barrow full of old lead :)

I've liked those old Citadel wights for many years, especially those two on the left. Nice work!

But who is the 5th hobbit? I guess Tolkien forgot to mention the retarded grandcousin (thrice removed of course) Ham...  :D

How about that fourth one from the left, looking out at us, with a knowing smirk?

Nice entry Pil, the Wight in the middle with sword and chain was one of my first minis ever. That brings back precious memories. Love your weathering on armor and weapons.

Thanks Arcturus, your entry is great! I think a bit more scene setting (grass and plain backdrop) would have helped your entry. The painting is very nice on the riders, the orcs and the castle alike 8)

Thanks all for the kind words, I quite like these wight models and I think I will put some extra love into them at a later time now that the deadline has passed. I had to really scrape the hobbits together though! From left to right they are Harlequin Bilbo, Harlequin halfling, Citadel Halfling, Harlequin Frodo and Citadel Frodo.

Great work both of you  8)

Nice job on those Rohirrim Arcturus - love those minis!

Pil - loving the Wights - especially the weightlifter on the end!  ;)

What an eclectic bunch of Frodo's too.  :D

Arcturus, it was a shame that you didn't use some better surface, they would have looked better.  :'(

I have seen many halflings in my time but never the one 2nd on left "Harlequin halfling".......where did you source him from as I thought I had all of the Harlequin halflings......

I think he was given to me by Malebolgia, but it could have been Raz. The tab said "Harlequin" but that's about all I know, sorry.
