Morannon Command


About time too!

Trust the Morannon commanders to arrive late, when the battle's nearly done.

I didn't enjoy doing these 'Carve it Yourself' resin models.

They are fragile, distorted (see weapons) and need filler for some of the larger bubble holes.

Yes, they are very well detailed but what's the good of that if things snap off and small triangles of moulding appear when you are painting.

Then you have to carve them off hoping that what you leave is correct.


Another gripe is the non illustrated box.

Cheapskates!

Have I said all this before?

Apologies for the long gap, by the way.

Various invasions by family hordes and a brief holiday in the wilds of wet and windy Devon were partly to blame.


The main reason, however, is the purchase of a 25 year old computer game - Settlers.

Disastrously addictive.

Anyway, have to go and see how the little men are coping.


(I gave these guys rather more red than GW. They are Morannon Orcs, after all)
