Bilbo, he looks great!!!! I really like the colours. The blades are excellent! An all round great conversion. I'm midway through 12 warriors of Rohan and have got a serious case of "UGH!!!"

It's a little difficult to explain in words but I'll be doing some more elves in a similar style and will post a tutorial in my wip thread.

Here's a slightly blurry photo of the finished mini (I'll replace it with a better one tomorrow) and yes I suck at basing

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:33 pm

WOW. That is amazing. I see you used NMM on it. The whole thing looks spectacuklar. Good luck in the challenge, In my opinion its between you and DMS.

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:36 pm

we must w8 till we can say smtg like that. there r other ppl here that didnt post their mini's..maybe we will have more surprises but yes for now looks like we have the winners already :O

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:56 pm

I don't know what smtg means, but I get the general gist of it, I was just making a positive comment. As a matter of fact, I think yours looks like a contender too Chris.

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:15 pm

Outstanding!! :yay:

Chris · **Posted:** Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:40 pm

yes I know, I was not criticizing what you said, but it has been posted outstanding figures o.o ,was a way of saying that we do not know if if those who didnt posted yet, will not surprise us even more loooool only pro painters here :O

naaa, my mini is not even close as good as those minis I have seen here, and its my first challenge

, I am satisfied with my mini but its not enough yet, but ty anyway!

I do like yours, but I think we agree then about DMS and MMS. (those sound like odd acronyms for something weird)

I don't want to go too off topic, but I think that on the whole your English is very good, much better than my French or Spanish.

EDIT _ I have one qualm about BizzareWarstar, Haldir isn't a High Elf

IsleStaggerholm · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 1:22 am

Plus BizzareWarstar won last month so he isn't eligible for victory this month . . . that being said his Haldir is amazing and would be a frontrunner if he was eligible. Mine will be posted by this time tomorrow. I want to get at least 1 more vote than I did last month.

You and me both. I'm pretty sure I'm not in the same playing field as a fair few of the entries, but I just want to see what pleople like and to hear their suggestions for improvement.

Bartelomeus · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 12:54 pm

Just in time, my first entry. Planning on competing more to up my painting skills ;D

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 1:28 pm

Well done Bartelomeus, excellent shading and highlighting on the cloak

Ares B · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 2:38 pm

Here's my Mithril Glorfindel. The cloak proved to be a headache, but in the end he turned out pretty a-ok, at least for my table.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 3:20 pm

The freehand looks great Ares B !!!
