Here's me keeping the trend of terrible inconsistency going...
I’ve said if before and I’ll probably say it again, but I’ve finally finished my Rivendell Guard! It has been a while since I’ve painted the Elves and I feel these aren’t quite up to the same standard as the last heroes, but they’re perfectly suitable for the tables top.
(Mounted)
Gil-Galad, High King of the Elves by Unreleased Miniatures. This was one of their first models and you can tell. I hated building and painting him.
(Mounted)
Elrond, Master of Rivendell. He’s too good not to at least consider taking in the new edition, especially with how he buffs Knights. However the official model is OOP and I refuse to use Finecast anyway. This was a pretty simple conversion using the mounted Elladan and classic Elrond sculpt. One razorsaw and some Milliput later and I’m fairly happy with how he’s come out considering I’ve never done any sculpting before!
Gimli, Son of Glóin, Friend of Rivendell. I painted him as I realised I had 2/3 Hunters and it seemed wrong not too. Lovely sculpt.
Now I’ve had these for a while but forgot to post them. I had the dice box made by the aptly named
Custom Dice Box on eBay. Really nice guy to deal with and I am incredibly happy with the service and product. I’m planning on using him again for my other games as I love the extra details. Speaking of; I also have a complete set of colour themed dice/tokens and objectives for my Rivendell Guard. I’ve got something similar for my Isengard but they’re not quite as tidy and not really worht posting. They’re all neatly kept in a little wooden chest though, which you’d have seen if you were at WAR of the Ring!
Now, my life in 1:1 scale has kinda fallen apart in an unprecedented manner over the last month and I’m still not entirely sure what’s happening, but that’s a bit heavy for a hobby blog! I’ve tried to keep myself grounded with the stability of a fantasy world in 28mm, but that’s probably why these haven’t come out as well as my previous works. There will be some disruption to my posting over the coming months, but I’m so inconsistent anyway you probably won’t notice!
On the plus side I’ve finished the display plinths this week so will try and get some army shots for you all. The army is now basically done but I do have two 25mm bases left that are prepared a’la the Rivendell Guard which are saved for Gildor inglorian and the classic metal Thranduil but I’m waiting to find them for a reasonable price.
