SCC25 and beyond – Lord of the Rings by Poentje

For the Angmar faction I only have one model: Gulavhar, the Terror of Arnor.

Before:

I gave the model a little purple wash to tone it a bit down, it was very bright. Also some highlights on the claws etc.

After:

The next faction I will update will be the Elven Kingdoms.

Next up are the minis from the Misty Mountains, also kown as the Mines of Moria. Here are some pictures of the starting point. 24 Goblins, one Cave Troll and the dreaded Balrog.

I have painted the 12 Goblins that were just primed, the other 12 got an touch up with some washes and highlights. The Cave Troll and the Balrog got the same treatment, washes and highlights to make them a little bit more lively. After that I gave all the models a new splash of color on the rim of the base with some Dryad Bark.

Cave Troll

Balrog of Morgoth

I started with the smallest faction I own, the Dwarven Holds. Only one model to paint and the rest got a touch up with some washes.

And this is how they turned out. I have put them in front of the gate of Helm’s Deep for a group shot.

Last weekend I watched the complete trilogy with my wife for the I don’t know how much time, probably about the 40th to 50th time. The story is such a classic and  I think Peter Jackson and his team did a realy good job translating it to the silver screen. I think they are some of the best movies ever made.

Every time I watch the movies I get inspired to do some LotR hobbying. Since the Spring Clean Challenge is still on and I finished my other project I thought it was a good idea to get out all my minis and make an inventory. I put them all in an spreadsheet with the different statuses. This took me about 5 to 6 hours because I also fixed all the bent and broken weapons. Turns out I have 558 minis of which 38 are double charactermodels. I probably going to try and sell these somewhere online. Of the 520 models 255 are painted, but most of them haven’t seen washes or glazes. So the next step will be fixing the old models to my new standards.

Here is an overview of my total collection:

I sorted the minis by faction and will keep a score of how many I have finished.
