Painting Lord of Rings (Dwarf Rangers)

I needed to add Dwarf soldiers, so I decided to paint some Dwarf Rangers. These are from games workshop.

Dwarf-Rangers

The models are not the best. There are four longbows, four axe throwers, and four double handed weapons in the bag.

I need to buy some elves. I think that will be next thing I do in Lords of the Rings.

Backlog: None for now

Painting Bolt Action (German Grenadiers)

Mike gave me a box of German Grenadiers to give me a little more options for Bolt Action. These models were very hard to put together. Two arms, head, legs, weapon, ammo belt, etc. I used my Vallejo paints and painted the same as when I paint for Flames of War.

They actually turned out pretty well

Painting Lord of Rings (Dwarf warriors and heroes)

I have been painting some lord of the ring stuff for a little while now. I decided to buy some dwarf warriors, commanders, and a number of  heroes.

The colour was inspired by the games workshop pictures.

Dwarf-Warriors-LotR

These are plastics from the games workshop. Not very good models, so I did the best I could.

Here are some of the Heroes. These miniatures were either in metal or some type of white resin. Much more detail

Dwarf-Commanders
and finally four Dwarf Commanders

I think I got a little carried away with the amount of Captains and Heroes. Need a little bit more warriors.

Painting Bolt Action (Germans WWII late war)

I bought a couple of panzerfaust and panzerschreck, and some light machine guns from Tod. Bolt action is a 28mm WWII platoon level game. Decided to paint some for a bolt action event at the club. So happens that I did not need to bring my miniatures. Jeff and Duncan were supplying everything. Well they are painted now.

He are the light machine guns

Here are the panzerfaust

The following is the panzerschreck

Always fun to paint 28mm. These were all metal miniatures, so good details.

Painting SAGA (Normans)

With the new SAGA rules out, I decided to paint some Normans. Mike had some extra boxes and some metal miniatures that he was selling real cheap, so it made the venture fairly reasonable.

Their were 59 plastics and 29 metal miniatures for a total of 88. It only takes about 37 miniatures to make a 6 point SAGA army, so I would have a lot of choices once I finished painting the 88 miniatures.


The following picture is the commander.

These are the Hearthguards

Here are the warrior units.

I have one Levi unit

And the left overs

Painting Lord of the Rings (Radagast the Brown on a Sleigh)

I got a Radagast the Brown on a Sleigh for Christmas so decided to paint it. This is actually my last LoTR model. I basically used the same colours as when I painted Radagast in November 2017.
