I am really happy with the way the unit turned out. I know some people were put off my the helmet wreaths, but I like these models far more than the Gondor infantry. I have enough models to build two more 12-model units, but I'm going to mix in some other stuff. I will probably paint one more unit identical to this one and then change the color scheme or add extra details to the third unit and call them the Guard of Fornost or some such thing. I am working on expanding my Rangers of Arnor to twelve (waiting on five reinforcement models I bought on eBay) and plan on painting the Beregond model as their captain.
I'm still working on the February Challenge for The One Ring forum and hope to have the rest of my wargs finished by the end of the week. I have no idea how long I will be able to maintain the level of output I've had on this project so far, but as long as I'm excited about painting I'm going to keep at it!
Great job! I agree, the unit turned out very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe look great! Can't wait to see the next batch.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting! Again I think the details created by using the pigment really set this unit aside in finish. Great work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! They have a Middle-Eastern appearance to them. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I want to build a force of these guys too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteWow! They are lovely. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYeeah baby! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned the helmet wreaths, I can only assume you're talking 'bout the bandanas? That's what got me liking them in the first place - people disliking them, well, haters gonna hate, as the internetz say.
Looking very good !
ReplyDeleteI love your work! very Imaginative.
