Eomer's Troop

Proof that I am working on this group of grey's. (Eomer's troop is stated in the book to be riding on grey horses)


The lower left one, with the experimentally painted tail, is the first out of the stable.


I varnished the tails as the paint rubs off the dry brushed edges in handling.

The first is finished.


(However, I've just noticed the unfinished nostrils!)

The general view is to play down decorative bases when painting special characters (not that I do so) but on ordinary troops, I can go to town.


Hence a likely looking stick becomes a mossy log.

Here, I just liked the shadow.
