I like the muted palette's you use, they always lend a more realistic feel to the miniatures.

Some more WIPs for the Feb challenge. Lack of primer has stopped me getting on with the rest of the stuff I had planned to crack out this month, but hopefully once I can get some more the pace here should pick up a little.

The finished Captain:

The finished banner bearer:

And another Captain, who I've converted a little to resemble Easterling styles and colours. Maybe it's my 40k side talking, but even in LotR I like Orcs having 'looted' stuff, so throughout my Mordor army are weapons and shields ect nicked from just about anyone else.

And some group shots:

Thanks for lookng, any feedback, comments or criticsm more than welcome.

Love the easterling helmet, fits perfectly. The painting is just right for these guys. Banner looks good too.

Cheers. I'm really quite happy with how the Easterling guy has come out in particular, with the almost-gold armour as much as the conversion. The banner I'm less sure on, I'll see how the other one comes out before I decide which one to submit for the competition.

Again good work on these and the EasterOrc looks great.

Finished up my last Orc for the competition, a second banner. I'm thinking I may just enter the EasterOrc and this banner, but I'll see as and when I get around to final photos.

And back to the good ol' quick and dirty method for the bulk of the Warband, 5 sword and board and five... erm, spear and board?

And that's it for the day! As ever, thanks for looking, let me know what you think!
