Winterfell's WIP - Anarion's Numenorian Army - 18/11/2014

Lord of Winterfell · **Posted:** Thu Mar 20, 2014 9:38 pm

Finally decided to make a WIP so I can have all of my models in one place.

Hopefully I'll end up actually painting/finishing some!

Other projects not in this WIP

The Blackwood Company Rangers - http://www.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=27421&hilit=blackwood

My first WIP is a custom Numenorian King of Man/Anarion figure - AKA Isildurs younger brother

- Originally King Arvedui
- Added Isildurs crown/head
- Added Numenorian shield
- Placed on a more heroic base

I think its plausible that Anarion would have some Armour from Arnor

Great idea and the bits you have selected certainly are fitting, looking forward to seeing how you paint him up.

Wow, very cool!

You've ruined an expensive model...

I mean you've executed a nice conversion

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 5:35 am

Nice conversion, very dynamic

Bofur The Dwarf · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:56 am

Great work, good conversion

Next up are Anarion's personal guardsmen, hailing from Minas Anor and bearing the white tree.

- Originally Fountain court guards
- Added Numenorian shields
- Added Numenorian spears
- Added left hands

The shields are not glued on yet, just blue tacked as I want to paint them separately.

I actually prefer the basic Numenorean infantry uniform as depicted in the Prologue.

These are just bodyguards. I'm working on the main force who are kitted out in numenorian gear as they should be!

Looking forward to seeing how your Numenorean force turns out! Quite promising already!

Haha me too!

I'm currently creating/converting my last army list posting...plus a few other things;

- King Anarion
- Numenorian Guard Captain
- 4 Numenorian Guard
- 2 Numenorian Captains
- 2 Numenorian Standard Bearers
- 12 metal numenorians with swords
- 12 metal numenorians with spears
- Numenorian Drummers

For the allied cavalry I'll just use ROR...and for bowmen I'll just use my Blackwood Company if it comes to it.

Captain of the Guard!

- Originally a metal fountain court guard
- Added Numenorian shield
- Added Numenorian spear
- Added left hand
- Added Gandalf the whites head

I wanted him to look a bit old a grizzled with the beard...like he'd been through a lot to get to his position.

And here is Anarion and his Kings guard ready for the painting table!

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:48 pm

They all look good so far, just the small job of painting them.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 9:58 pm

Very nice conversions, (though I'm sure people do that just to give GotFC shields anyway), but why have you based them on what appears to be 2p coins?

Rognarr · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:14 pm

The captain of the guard looks great! Nice idea of using the head of Gandalf

Constantine · **Posted:** Sat Mar 22, 2014 8:53 am

The fountain court guards make great Numenoreans; your conversions add flavour to a rather bland selection of troops- well done :yay:

Afternoon all.

So I haven't done much if any painting...the last few months I've never found any moments spare!

I had work off today *Cough* and I've been cutting, filing and gluing all afternoon.

Here is the result...Numenor Army Update!

My three warband Captains
- Weapons & heads/Plumes added.

Standards
-Originally an archer & Spear man
- Changed weapons & added banners

Example of my metal swordsmen (12 in total)

Current army before basecoating

Hopefully you'll see a painting update by the end of the month

All very nice, but I think the plume looks silly and a bit out of place

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Tue Nov 18, 2014 11:15 pm

Nice work but I agree on the plume, a little too Roman
