I have another 14 Spearmen in various stages of completion, and a good 12-18 more plastics to be stripped, but I'm concentrating on getting 1000 points with allied Rangers painted up so next up is finishing the spearmen and starting on Armoured Glorfindel when he arrives. :)

Thanks Sid! I tend to really overwork myself to be honest... if I'm not careful it becomes a chore pretty quick!

Mugshots? Haha. Maybe one day. If you're lucky. :P

Also I might have just bought a Winged Nazgul.

UPDATE:

So my first foray into painting eyes on a model is Elrond. I didn't bother with Big G because he's squinting. So yeah, these guys will be next!

Skin tones are looking good. I love GG's glare like "anything less than Sauron, and I'm gonna mess you up. Badly." Could you take a shot of Elrond where we can see both eyes?

Sorry Hurin I only read your message when I'd put them away for now. Next update I will! Here's an update anyway.

UPDATE:

Image

I got the armour and faces done!

And here's a WIP of Gil-galad's shield. I'm going to attempt to do some stars on the upper two quadrants, and I might yet make the centre a gem.

Shieldmaiden, you've prompted me to dig out my High Elves! I had several unpainted spearmen and some more that have been easily stripped. How do you manage the plastics though? Stripping plastics in my experience is a long and nightmarish procedure compared to doing metals. Perhaps I'm just using the wrong stuff though?

Also, how would people feel about High Elves with a shield as their only wargear selection? Going through these, I've realized that I snipped some spears short and gave them regular hand weapons... Not sure how "cheeky" this is from a gaming perspective.
