About the Project
This project has been languishing for years now, and the new Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge, has encouraged me to get them done. I have a goodly amount to do, but I have a bit of a head start. I did start this ages ago as you can see by the few units painted up in the colour scheme that I've chosen; Red, Black, Grey, with silver armour. Not pictured are the Rivendell Knights that I picked up a while ago, 2nd hand, cheap as dirt, and they aren't worth much more than I paid for them, I paid nothing for them, and yes that means they'll need a lot of work.

This Project is Completed
Not finished =(
Okay so I cannot finish in time, but I thought it best to at least show where I got up to. Some of the models already had basing material when I started, but they’re aren’t finished either. The Project will be finished next painting weekend.
So far.Hoping to finish this Weekend
It’s the new painting weekend, and I’m set up ready to start tomorrow.
The Archers are actually finished, so just the Warrior regiments, and High Elf Cohort to do.
Friday NightA Problem Surfaces
Okay so basing is super simple; One regiment at a time, add the glue, while adding glue to the rest of the regiment, the first company worth had started getting tacky, so I could start dipping them in the basing material, I got all the six companies of the Warriors done, but then I stopped to get something to eat.
Upon returning, I found five of the warriors had some strange green colour bleeding through the basing, which sucked. I tried adding another layer of the material, but nope…
Green, wtf?Rebasing.
Okay, so I scraped off as much of the basing material as I could, then cut the bases, removing the elves.
Back to basingThen I went through the 25mm bases, and base coloured five.
BasesAdded the guys, and then the basing material.
New~Finished the Last Three Regiments
Hey I finished, I mean there are some gaps, which I will fill in tomorrow, with some of the larger stones in the basing set, and some super glue.
After I’ve done that I’ll add a photo of the entire force, and finish the Project.
Finished.Completed
I woke up this morning, sorted out the troops that had gaps thanks to the slot in the bases, so I filled those gaps in, with a combination of super glue, and some of the middle sized stones in the basing mix, but I also added some PVA to some, and added some of the basically dust in the basing mix. So yes the 1000ish point is ready to play.
Done!
