What, including some to live in the wicker man, even?

Lovely work - I might try the idea of adding ivy up the walls at the construction stage myself on the next suitable building. That looks very good indeed.

Thanks Mitch! The buildings themselves are great. Very little cleanup. The ONLY thing that bothered me was that the small house has a lip to keep the roof on the main block of the house, but none of the other buildings do. Not sure why they omitted them, but they did.... I used some plastic strip to recreate the mechanism, so they work fine now.

The ivy is from a Happy Seppuku 'swamp' stamp. i just keep reusing the same stamp over and over, cutting them up and shaping them while they're still a bit soft. I think it's enough to conceal they're all from the same source. if you REALLY look you can figure it out, but who has that kind of time??

For me it was a great way to conceal the identical buildings and give a bit more variety. There's only SO much you can do before they look overdone, but working with the putty is easy enough to make corrections. The green also adds a great contrast to all of the earth tones!

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Lovely, TBC, just lovely!

I saw the previous unit and forgot to say at the time that you have given me the kick up the arse that I needed to get my first LotR SAGA unit finished.

The Warriors of Gondor were finished today, they just need basing and shields painting.

Thanks for the nudge!

Cheers Mason! I have t admit, Vikings are so much fun to paint! And the arse kicking works both ways! You guys are all a HUGE inspiration!

I must admit,the hand painted shields I did for the warriors came out well. For a moment or two I almost forgot which ones were decals and which were painted. That made me feel all warm inside!

BTW, BIG fan of your LOTR project!

My new warlord for my Viking force, Tor Eriksen and his wolf Fenris, a freebie sent to me by the Foundry when I ordered from one of their modern lines. I liked it so much I paired it with a wolf from Silent Invader's Scavenge, Skirmish and Survive line. I saw the pic of him on the Foundry site just to get an idea how they pained him and I'm quite pleased that I went for polar bears as the cloak. I was playing around with one polar bear and one black bear, but then I thought it would look too fantasy...

Very effective paint scheme. I liked the way you used multiple textures on the base as well. It almost looks like a moss in some spots. Looks great TBC!

Thanks so much! He was a real joy to paint up... and was rather effective today as well. It seems the Vikings and Turks showed up at Wyr Skruude coincidentally at the same time for some raiding. After Tor took the Turk's head, the Irish warlord was undone by Tor's Hirdmen. It was a glorious day for the Thunder God!

Goofed around learning the rules today with Za Zjurman and Groove51 and it was unanimously a fun game to play, losses aside

Bloody gorgeous all round, sir!

Love that figure, it makes a top drawer Warlord.
Nice doggie too.

Excellent Erik

That's a great PJ all round but I have a special liking for the wolf!
