Rohan Royal Guard Banner Conversion

Finally getting around to posting some of the things I have been painting for the last month or so. This one made its rounds on the GBHL page, but for completeness sake here it is on the website. A Rohan Royal Guard banner bearer conversion from Shadow and Flame. It was lots of fun to paint, especially the freehand on the banner, although some of those crevices were a challenge.

Damn internet giving me troubles. Here its is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Sling some paint this holiday!

Update... New posts coming every whenever I get around to it, so...

...tomorrow....maybe.

One huge ass post with all the stuff or individual posts for each thing?

Isengard Uruk Hai Banner Conversion

Still trying to get caught up on stuff I have painted but not posted. Here is a more recent addition. Many moons ago, circa 2011, natarn on the One Ring did a really neat conversion of Ugluk holding the beheaded orc into a banner bearer. He removed the orc head from the hand and swapped it with Ugluks and then sculpted the banner. I thought it was an excellent idea. But, for any of you that follow my work you know I have zero skill with putty. Don't get me wrong, I can sculpt a mean ball of greenstuff, but that's about it. Bring in Dave over at, you guessed it, Shadow and Flame. He did the conversion for me and sent it across the pond for me to paint. Unbelievable sculpting. You would never know it was a conversion. Seamless as always.

More to come soon....hopefully... including Dave's first ever human scratch sculpt. Any guesses as to what it is?

Hey Hey Hama

No idea how this didn't get posted earlier. I did this a few months ago. DMS said I needed to paint a hero, so here he is:

I have a mounted version converted by Dave over at Shadow and Flame that will join the foot version soon. I am currently working on a Rohan Royal Guard banner bearer using donations from Hama's body and the mounted RRGs head from the mounted Hama conversion along with a scratch sculpted banner by Dave. Hopefully he will be done soon.

Rohan Banner Bearer from Shadow and Flame

Short and sweet. I am headed to Florida. I painted this months ago. Just got round to posting it. Awesome conversion by Flame over at Shadow and Flame. Go there. Now. Stop reading and go there. Why are you still reading? They have ents, pony's for converting mounted dwarfs, and conversion sprues to convert grimhammers to iron hills dwarves.

Mordor Orc Banner

I was going through withdrawal as it had been maybe five minutes since I last painted a banner. I found some images on the internets that I liked and decided to adapt one to a Mordor banner. Here he is.

One-Ring Painting Competition - May 2015

Been a while, I am a bit behind on my posts. I painted one of these Rohan Royal Guards up a while back and it was well received so I figured I would do another for the painting competition. I managed to get it finished just before a week long trip to Denver. I was lucky to pull off 4th place in the competition. I was happy with that given the amazing entries.
