They are pretty decent as you can see and tbh for £2, I can't complain. If you want better quality, you have to be prepared to pay higher prices.

Also, where did you get the pikes/spears?

Arcane Scenery 50mm Spears/ Javelins. A quick ebay search of that should bring them up. £6 for 40 spears which is plenty for what I need.

Finished Glorfindel last night for the painting challenge, must be a new PB for quickest completed model. It is a truly gorgeous model.

And I also got an erebor spearman to 99% completed so here is a sneak peak of what's to come.

Glorfy's looking nice, I like the armour. :yay:

The cloak looks a little rough though... perhaps using a few extra layers in of highlights would make it a little smoother?

nice though, and I like the grimhammer convertions too.

Great painting and very nice conversions SD. I think Foundry or Warlord do metal spears too or did in the past. I found these on Warlord -

And now, at Crucium's expense, comedy typo of the day:

Quote:

the Crave Drake makes a great center piece

A Crave Drake: causes unimaginable hunger pangs in the opponents forces who rout off the table in search of food.

Off topic I know but it was too good to pass over. Sorry Crucium. Don't consign me to the Deadzone.

So a largish update for all you lovely lot today.

First up, my dwarves. You might have noticed that I am currently working on a armoured erebor dwarf list using grimhammers as the base models but converting them into erebor dwarves. I was given a grimhammer captain for my birthday so I set about converting him aswell.

Et voila:

Also made some progress on painting the spearmen

And you may have noticed the East Grinstead Tournament thread, this next model may or may not be making an appearance there

Gothmog Ft (very much WIP but not bad for a mornings work)

Gothmog Mtd (Done to a gaming standard but need to touch up a few bits)

Gothmog look v.nice mate, the warg's really nicely done and very neat.

Love the Captain conversion too, you're creating a really unique looking force there, can't wait to see it finished!

Shame we won't be seeing the Grimhammers in action at the weekend, Gothmog'll be there though eh? Interesting, I spy a Southy Mordor force on the horizon...

Great stuff, particularly like the Grim Hammer Captain holding an Elven blade, good war story there I imagine

Nice work with the red leather. Red is a difficult one to get as bright as you have managed.

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 9:41 am

Slow progress atm. In limbo about what to paint. Grimmhammer/ Erebor spears are progressing slowly. Done some more work on the captain though.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 10:35 am

He's coming along nicely and a fitting base. Do you plan for a lava flow around the stone ?

Looks good, but why does he have an elven sword?

That's a good idea but nope. Hard to see in the picture but it will just be a dirt base to match the rest of my force.

Twas the only weapon I had that wasnt right handed. I'll think up some fluff reason in the future haha.

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 8:19 pm

He uses the sword to pick out belly-button fluff

So young dwalin arrived the other day (reviews over in the miniatures thread) and I decided to paint him up straight away.

I'll admit now I rushed him and am not 100% happy with the result. Gaming standard.

I also decided to paint my shieldbearer and a contingent of iron guard. These bad boys are gonna be my blue moutain allies for my erebor army.

They are still a WIP. I tried to get them done for a game on sunday but the ashes proved too distracting.

Beautiful bunch of dwarves there, keep up the good work

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Tue Jul 16, 2013 6:27 pm

Is that the Ashes in the Desolation of Smaug?

Erebor Banner for my converted force.

The banner is one I found on the internet, printed out and PVA'd onto the brass pole.
