I have got an idea for you....

it's a bit out there.. but if you like chopping and making...consider this...

A Rohan chariot or war cart?

Full of archers... a bit like that Mordor rhinoceros thing... or the carted equivalent of a Moria maurader warg.

I dont think they are that brutal or enjoy holding such trophies ste , Ranger's are honourable defender's and from what ive seen they seem to refrain from giving into the glory and bloodlust of war... unlike the Uruk-Hai who like man flesh.

Sure, they're unlikely to take trophies. But if they've just killed the leader of an Orc warband, I don't think they'd have any qualms about decapitating him and lifting his head for all to see.

And besides, I'm sure the Dunedain have a diverse enough range of personalities to have at least a couple ruthless characters. Maybe a Dunedain lost his family in an Orc raid, and as a result has a vicious hatred for them.


I love that conversion, it looks like hes just decapitated an Orc leader or champion, and is challenging the rest of the Orcs to take him on.

Perhaps he saw a twinkle in the Uruks eye?

Haha , yeah i suppose. I just thought that the Dunedain dispatch from distance(arrows) rather than up close and personal that's all. Here is a thought an idea use a dunedain(human head) on a Uruk-Hai or Hunter Orc captain holding it up like Ugluk and vice versa like you already have done and put them side by side hehe.

So they're having a "best decapitation" contest?

"The Decap-Factor".

Nice work! I like the warrior of Lamedn the most because he looks very natural! But the two rangers of the north are good as well!
What kind of sculpting tools do you use? Do you already have 'clay sharpers'? They are very usefull for smoothing and hiding gaps and finger prints, IMO that would give your miniatures a much better look!

Best wishes

Great conversions!

Especially the decapitated orc head!

is that a separate sword arm from a different miniature?

I have a suspicion that we now need a "Decapitated Head" thread!

Captain of Minas Tirith converted from a Guard of the Fountain Court whose spear broke. The fluff for him is that he is the "Captain of the Guard".
