Numenor - Heck!

Actually those pointy helmets are Minas Tirith warriors from the DeAgostini series 'LOTR Battle Games in Middle Earth'.

Highly recommended for painting instruction and model making.

They turn up on e-bay now and again and, even without the models, are well worth it for beginners like me

(Grandsons inform me that the soldiers are guards in the film)

Numenor 'Hic!'

All 12 done, though they look like clones of just two.

Also, a little drunk. That rush forward to strike the first blow merely makes them look as if they might fall flat at the next step.

I've tried to adjust shields for variety but next time there'll have to be amputations.

Perhaps even a beheading or two.

Numenor

Damn it! They are not from Minas Tirith at all. I'm embarrassed by my lack of knowledge of The Silmarillion. They are from Numenor. Not much point in painting them except for show. The painting I have done has them covered in dust from the ruins of Osgiliath!
