Osgiliath Veterans 11

Here's a start on the Avenger Bolt Thrower conversion to an Osgiliath Veteran.

His left hand will hold the brass rod now that he's 'got a grip', after the use of a pair of pliers.

The hole in the base lines up well.

I need a spear tip for the brass rod and a Minas Tirith banner.

I was awake a chunk of last night, wondering what to put in his right hand.

It can't be a sword as his is sheathed unless I clip and file it away.

Perhaps another spare axe from Gimli or maybe an orcish weapon since he's been fighting orcs?

Yes Lewis. Only thing is that his hand is so open I'd have to bend it inwards and I'm worried about it snapping, I did bend the other hand but it didn't need so much bending. Perhaps a troll weapon?
The river is nealy done.
Thanks for looking in.

A troll weapon? He'd have to be pretty strong haha. Looking at it again, a shield seems appropriate; his hand looks like he could be holding a green stuff strap from the shield? Or perhaps just a brick

Still thinking about it. The spear that John supplied still looked wrong. I'll think about the shield strap idea.
