I wonder what the correct collective noun would be for a horde of Gandalfs?
A Grey Pilgrimage? Ah, but the white ones... A Pilgrimage of Gandalfs?
Anyway, enough of my ramblings - they look great guys.

I like the idea of a "pilgrimage" - it's sounds right. 8)

Some great looking entries here! 8)

Perhaps the plural of Gandalf should be Gandalves, seeing as Middle-earth dwarves are not dwarfs...

The actual plural of Dwarf is Dwerrows, so plural for Gandalf should be Ganderrows. :gandalf:

Do I have to do anything else or am I finished submitting my entry? (I'm new around here)

Thanks! No, I didn't put gloss on him, it's just the new GW washes... :x
They look really shiny, which isn't exactly nice. I actually never varnish my models.

Make sure you give the washes a real good shake before you use them.

The noble dunedain gives good advice... shaking made my washes work too.

Nothing more required, that's your entry submitted (and it's a great entry too, nice work!).
