Rohan and Isengard again

A quick update. I finally got a few things cleared off the table. A RoR repaint, a new RoR, and another Uruk Banner.

More for the Forces of Isengard

Some more Uruk's. Dave over at Shadow and Flame is doing an Ugluk conversion for me. Figured I had better get the original painted up.

Uruk Hai and Back Logs

Been busy working on a paper I was asked to write on black shales. Thanks to that deadline I haven't done much in the way of painting for a while. However, I made good progress on the paper yesterday and after a discussion with myself, me and myself agreed that I could take a break and photograph the the Uruk banner bearer I finished, oh.... maybe a couple weeks ago. Maybe not that long. Anyway here he is. I love these guys and I may pull out a few more banners to do. Plus, as if four aren't enough, I have Dave over at Shadow and Flame making me another. hahaha.  Without further ado, here he is (as always you can find this and more Isengard minions on the Isengard page):

Speaking of banners and more S&F conversions, I have been reading about back logs lately. Specifically, Garfy's post over on ToP. Got me thinking about my back log of miniatures. I figured I would pull out all the boxes, and with a bit of luck get them all put back after a photo. Here it is in all its splendor. The backlog comprises 99% GW material and as far as I know I have everything ever released. Occasionally one or two pop up that I don't have, but that is why on the 8th day your God created eBay. There is also some Ebob, Thomarillion, Knight Models, and of course MBM/S&F.

Well that was a nice little break, now to go back 390 million years to the Devonian and the Marcellus Shale, and write about pyrite spheres that are only five microns in diameter. Hopefully this back log will be one mini shorter in a couple weeks. At which point it will go from looking like the picture above, to looking like this:

Did you see the change? Dont worry, neither did I.

Later

Bard, Uruks, and Rohan

Haven't had much time for taking pictures so here are the last few things I have been working on

Bard the Bowman

Uruk-Hai Captain

Rohan Warrior

 

I put this up on CMON. I would greatly appreciate a vote and you can cast one by clicking HERE. 

Rohan Banner Bearer Mounted

Finished another banner. Managed to squeeze in a bit of freehand on it to match the foot model. Took a play from DomyHill  on One Ring and painted some red flowers onto the foliage. Doesn't show up to well in the photos but looks great in person. So thanks to DH for that!

A Hobbit/LotR SBG Unboxing Bard the Bowman

Another Rohan Banner Bearer

I am finding that Rohan is my favorite thing to paint. Here is another banner bearer I finished last night. Wish the pictures were more true to the actual color, but this will have to do. I put up both the light and the dark photos, not sure which is best. I am leaning towards the light.

 

 

I decided to put this guy up on CMON. You can vote on him HERE
