Hi all,
as some of you already know, I'm just recently coming back to the hobby; so, although constructive criticism is weclome - no harshness please!
Here's the low-down on everything thats happened which is why the fruit of this WIP may be a little sour (in other words - why they may suck) :
I've been a collector/painter/army builder since I was like 6, playing only a single game - stopped the hobby a year or two ago, and have recently come back to it due to my maths/science teacher offering me a place as a senior member of a warhammer club at school which he is trying to organise - creating this army may take a while due to lack of money and coursework etc. but hopefully it'll be worth the look...
Enough about me, though - here's a few models from my original collection, re-mastered:

This guy was from the ballista crew set - i think he was a commander, so as you can see, being skint forces one to (attempt to) be creative!
I cut off the top-part of the helmet so it's more like the beserker's rounded helm, stuck on another sword from a metal uruk scout on the underside of what was already there, giving him a darth maul kind of thing, and stuck a battle-damaged shield on his back (I ripped a bit off when forcing it off a fighting-uruk and chopped into it as opposed to flat-out giving up). And the perculiar marking on the shield is my poor attempt at free-handing a scerth (Saruman's original calling card which he used to seal letters - making this a sort of 'special delivery' for the fellowship/free peoples of Middle Earth.

A close-up - the leather and base still need to be done; and any painting tips are very welcome.
Thanks for looking.
