Hi there everyone.
I was wondering if there was a way to make warriors of arnor out of other minatures?
Because I really dont want to buy 3 for $18 when i need a minimum of 12.
Any help would be appreciated.

some people do. some greenstuff work on a WoMT may be passable. Shave the tree of the shield and maybe do a freehand arnor design.

Check out instantmold, its really easy to work with. You can quickly cast the heads and shields from just one donar (though I'd run three molds from each pose to speed up production) & use the reproductions to convert a whole army of WOMT into Arnorians. You'll still have to do stuff like shave the trees of the chest but that's easy, then you'll have tons of WOMT parts to use on another project.

I converted mine by

-filing away the Tree emblems on the chestplate and shield.
-filing down the Swan wing details on the helmets, leaving just a smooth flat helmet.
-shaving off the plate armour over the thighs
-I sculpted chainmail around the waist, and smoothed down the area beneath the chainmail to resemble the cloth tunics
-wrapped a thin length of greenstuff around the helmets and gently scored it at regular intervals to resemble the Turban/headband worn by the WoA. It was very tedious so I didn't do it for all of them.
-I then sculpted cloaks using greenstuff.
