Firstly, thank you everyone fpr your comments

Secondly, sorry for the massive delay. First I was busy finishing these, then back to uni.

Thirdly, here are some finished pics, some pics showed up in the Challenge Thread so I won't bother to repost them here.

The finished Trolls group shot:





The finished Ghostly Riders:



The fully assembled Great Beast:









A few group shots of the finished batch (strangely minus the Black Guards):











Just like to point out a couple of things with regard to the above pics, 1. I know the Great Beast doesn't exist in WotR, and 2. If anyone wants to see the rough list of what is entailed within that army, just go back a few pages to see the 'before painting' list.

Now, below is one variation of the Mordor Army I intend to field for WotR (2,000pts) which uses many of the new itemsbut also some older ones. list is:

Hey guy, I don't know how to say this, but... Sauron's turned your bed in a province of Mordor. Oh and the models look fantastic.

Glad ur succeeding in getting the clearer pictures! Nice collection and the paintwork looks cool to!

Love your army pics. You must have loads of money. A project well done

Thank you very much everyone

and the night is dark and full of terrors. Mordor style


again, having patience certainly helps with photography - and painting.


Thank you, not as cool as having your amazing skills with sculpting. now I just need to find someone to play against
Also,, you are pink!


Cheers Though I don;t actuall have that much, mostly built over the past years, when proces were cheaper, also lots of plastic substituitions, but I do have a few things. Still, need to find an opponant though

A small return. Just hoping to get all this lot done before I go back to Uni.

The first 2 pics show a quicck shot of all the models that I will pain/have started painting. A full list will be below. They will be painted in batches in accordance to colour scheme meaning that some batches will be very large and others very small.





The list to paint is:

Shagrat, War Leader
Groblog + 2 Moria Goblin Shamans
54 Goblin Town Goblins + 2 Captains, the Great Goblin, Grinnah & the Scribe
Gollum
Dweller in the Dark
7 Fell Warg mounts
12 Hunter Orcs on foot + 6 Hunter Orc Riders, Fimbul, Bolg

Yes the Hunter Orcs are attatched to the Wargs but that matters not.

Here is a close-up of the moria Goblin Captain I converted into a Shaman:



And, as you can see, some progress on Shagrat, who at this point is nearly finished:

Can't wait to see this stuff painted too, and if you continue like this I'm afraid your army'll get bigger than the one of angmar ever was

Thank you everyone

I have made more progress, but I on't feel like taking any pics today and uploading them.

Painting those Goblins could well be fun, but it could also be difficult. They are some of the best models however. The colours in the film looked really good, but I will paint their togas green to match my Moria ones.

The Shaman looks quite simple, but FC and plastic do not like sticking together, so it was harder than it looked.

My room is quite full, and yes I use my bed as a paintstation. I just got a figure case today, as well as the Hobbit one at Xmas. I d hope everything fits.

I finished Shagrat. I also finished Groblog and the Shamans. Well except for the bases which I will be doing later all together. I'm really happy with how the 3 goblins turned out, but I'm not sure if you can see that too well in these pics.













I've also started on the Goblin Town Goblins too. I just watched tjhe film again earlier so I looked at their skin closely.
