This is some old stuff of mine but someone needs to get the ball rolling...

1 Mordor Uruk-Hai and 1 Warrior of Minas Tirith for an old project I was working on for my local GW:










I've also based a Haradrim Warrior.






Comments and criticism welcome as always and much appreciated.

They look good RC, although I'm not too keen on the blood - just doesn't look right somehow :/

Same here. I got rid of the "Blood" on good guys as if you remember form the film Orc Blood is black (Or a Very very deep red)

Ya, besides the black orc-blood, I use plastic glue or any gloss varnish on top of blood to make it look wet. It really helps a lot. I love the way you base your miniatures, it really looks realistic.

Hehe, I forgot to be expecting this, I got it last time I posted these pictures up and also went back over the paint and fixed the problem so in actual fact the blood is a deep deep blue/black colour I've just only posted an old picture . But thanks anyway everyone .

Duh, the Gondorian just killed an Easterling, who has red human blood

Looks great RC! That Gondorian especially looks nice...I for one am looking forward to seeing what you'll create for the painting comp next year

For my Army of Gondor I'm going to be basing them on Mud/Grasslands and hopefully the painting will be cleaner (particularly on the face).

Long due update...

Anyway Theoden Defender of Rohan Painted up, need to brighten up his sword though.




Comments and criticism welcome

Cheers!

Very good - better than my one

Nicely done. You've always been a good inspiration for my painting.
Any particular reason for the large base?

Thanks guys!

And Cal I have no need for regular sized bases as I never play with my minis, I am doing all of these minis in this 'Project' on larger bases just for effect really. No particular reasons.

It's been a very long time since I painted anything and an even longer time since I painted anything to do with LotR. But here I am with an update!

I've started painting my Gondor army!

My first update is Faramir, Captain of Gondor (Ranger) and one of Faramirs' Rangers. As it usually takes me forever to paint a miniature I've tried to paint these quickly and simply. (PS - the lighting on these pictures isn't quite right, for some reason Faramirs' sword seems very shiny, whereas it's actually a bit darker than shown.)







More Rangers to come soon (hopefully)!

Cheers.

Very nice. Only crits I can think of are the eyes (but as they're hard to do I'll let you off this one) and that the skin looks a bit 'flat'.

Looking good! Makes me motivated to finish painting my Cave Drake...or start those metal Warg Riders I just acquired

Looks good Come to think of it...I've got some old, neglected Rangers somwhere around here...

Ah Gondor! I'm just starting work on my Rangers, and I quite like your colours, so I may take some inspiration from your work.

Nice work my friend! To say these have been done fairly quickly, you've got them to a decent playable standard

I think they would look that surprised stationed at Osgiliath...

Well it's been a long time since I've updated this thread but I have done some painting recently.

Here is Lurtz:





Here is a WIP Orc Shaman on Warg:





And although my Orc Shaman on Warg is yet to be completed, here is my next project:





I am also nearly finished an Invisible Frodo Promo mini and I will post pics of that tomorrow.

Nice work as usual RC


From that warg's expression it looks liek the shaman could do with a few less pies in his diet

Agreed, consistently good stuff here - especially like the layering on the warg's fur!

Great job as always RC.

Invisible Frodo completed. I might work on a nice diorama base for it at some point seeing as it needs a good base to make it 'pop' due to not requiring any paint on the mini itself, but I have other projects to get on with for now so it'll have to wait.

*Looks at photo*
Where is he?

Good stuff, a large/diorama base really finishes the model off for things like this, but I look forward to seeing what other projects you have coming!

Yeah I'm thinking of doing a small Weathertop diorama, something along the lines of 'invisible Frodo vs twilight Ringwraiths'.
