Liking your painted wraith - looks badass :yay:

Great so see anyone willing to tackle a double sculpt - horse and Rider! Well done! The only thing I would change is adding some grit or small stones and sparse vegetation to the base - it looks a wee bit bare to me (just my opinion).

Ty for the comments all of u!
there will be some more on the base yes

do not fear - this was only the paint work.
I always do the bases afterwards. I start of with varnishing first b4 i get to basing my figures. I use a spraycan and wait till i have quite some painted b4 i do so.
Just varnished a second layer this morning, i am going to need some of the rohan fellows soon for a battle. Painting up the 4 riders to for that. Depending on how fast i move on (and other factors like maybe visiting friends) i might paint the last 4 remaining mini's of my stash to.

Finally got those riders done, gonna add a layer of varnish now and another one tomorrow. So i can have them based up to B4 battle tuesday.

Left to paint up:

Dunno if i still will do those today. It are the last mini's i currently have left to paint except for the double boromir.
I have been thinking about some terrain building. Seems like it will be hard to get rid of the old ones. I don't like throwing those away. But they take in to much space.
I just noticed a second handed helms deep fortress on a second handed site. I am quite tempted to buy it but the price is quite high. He said u can still make an offer. So i did a lower bid on it, depending on how generous that fella is i could get it.
Otherwise it's all scatchbuild for me.

I love the wraith! It has a very evil and sinister look to it that comes both from the sculpt and painting.

here we are again, painted up the uruk shaman

paint started to chip of hard on his foot... hope varnishing will protect it a bit better.
Three rohan archers to go now

ty for the comments all

I am trough my painting stash... postphoned finishing these guys off for a while.
But now they are there..

Now i only need to varnish 5 mini's up, base them and add bow strings where needed.
Next up is one big idea for a new fortress (wall, tower, gate, mountain like terrain). I think i might invest a bit in my materials this time. My older terrain is ok but it was really built out of junky leftovers from stuff. I also want something really diorama like quality and practical for gaming and storage. Slowly gathering materials for this. Easy pace now.. going to take my time for it.

I am looking forward to it.

Great work. Any chance of a guide to how you do the bow strings?

garmenhord · **Posted:** Tue Jun 18, 2013 2:37 pm

Ty old man willow, hope i will be able to spend some time on it soon.
Harfoot, I don't think u need one for my way of making bowstrings.. I have seen couple of guys who made much better looking ones on a different way.
But the way i do it, is the simple way (and maybe not as good looking). I just tie on some sewing thread... I mostly make more then one nod to make sure it won't losen up. Then i enstrenghten that with some woodglue. Leaving no traces of the glue and the string attached well.
If there is a part of the bow (mostly the lower part) that can't be fixed with nods - because of the clothing or other stuff. I just cut the string far enough and glue it against the clothing...

Thanks, i have never done it but will give it a try,i was wondering if fishing line would be good?

garmenhord · **Posted:** Tue Jun 18, 2013 3:21 pm

dunno give it a try
it just has to be thin enough and u should be able to glue it or make nods in it. :-)

garmenhord · **Posted:** Mon Jun 24, 2013 2:52 pm

still gotta search out what to do with the gate... i want them to be able to close and open..

Harfoot · **Posted:** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:12 pm

Any idea on what colour the stone will be? Looking good so far

Oldman Willow · **Posted:** Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:15 pm
