Rohan mud

Further to 'Rohan Warriors' below - I tried using Agrellan Earth on a couple of them..


I was aiming for areas where those wide rivers had dried up leaving cracked mud but I don't think it was too successful.


That's a broken Orc bow in the grass - care of spares in a box of Mordor Orcs, I think.

Rohan Warriors

Then a big project - two complete boxes of Rohan Warriors.

24 in total.

I tried to make each set a little varied, not going so far as red or blue cloaks, just an adjustment of colours of boots or belts

One set has a coarser sand on the base.

I was trying to portray the area round Edoras and the wide flat rivers of New Zealand.

Some are on terrain where rocks have been swept down, others on the grassy silt soil.

There are a couple of arm adjustments too.

They are all set out in their 'twins'.

Rohan Fort

I think the next project was this Rohan Fort from a Degostini magazine.

The boys were involved (though I'm still waiting for the flags Henry!)


Even Maggie contributed by painting the walk boards behind the barricade.

The whole thing took some time as there were more than a few trees to cut down and branches to sharpen.

It's about 14 inches by 12 inches giving plenty of room for tents and a watch tower later and, of course, there's a 'floor' to go in.

The flagpoles lock the thing together though not very accurately I'm afraid as this was the first fort these riders had tackled.

Wargs!

 Yes, it's been yonks.


I have been doing a bit of painting though.


I've got the back fence done and varnished the bird table.


Plus these Warg Riders.


I've actually done five but tried to make them each a little different from the previous set of six.


Sometimes only by changes in paints used and sometimes simply by swapping arms or altering bases.
