So - I thought I would start a WIP post to join all you others and to help keep me motivated...

So here goes, currently on the table is:
1. Mordor Uruk Hai - so far I have based, primed and painted the metal areas:

2. Gondor (bought poorly painted on ebay and I have had to completely repaint...)

That looks awesome! :yay:

Oooh! Brilliant painting skills, nicely based and LOTS of them - that's the sort of armies I like.

Cheers Dorth! I'm hoping this will motivate me to finish those Uruks! I have purposely made the basing on them rocky so that it will look like the ground of spider pass - perfect for my Cirith Ungol army:-)
Might be able to do a battle between Shagrats boys and gorbags morgul rats!

You sure have an Uruk horde! Not many people use Uruks nowadays. It seems that the dish of the day are Morannon. It's nice to see someone who devotes so much time to these brutes :-D

Nice Mordor Uruks. I stopped at 27 metals and just went to plastics. I also admire your decision to painting them all at once, it's something I and many others like doing, plus without doing so, there is no way that you Mr Leonardis sir, will get through painting all your models. ALso, how come you don't have any of the Mordor Uruk-hai 2 blisters?

Haha I love it! Have loads of morannon painted, check out my blog - just waiting for my 24 black guard and command to arrive :-)

and the reason I only have uruks from pack1 is all down to what was cheap on eBay!

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Tue Dec 18, 2012 8:47 pm

you found 24 black guard on ebay?! I never see those on ebay, I only need 1 lol and can never find one. Looking good though. I admire you determination to get it all painted.

Yes - well 21 and 3 command :-)

I am hoping they come in time for me to add to the paint now Mordor uruks, so I can paint them over Christmas!

Realy nice work again mate. Your gondor troops look ace as well.

Cheers - the bases for Gondor were already on when I bought them... I have has to completely repaint them, but the bases I am leaving as is (just gonna paint the rim).
Hopefully the black guard will arrive this week and I will paint alongside the uruks.

Then on the Arnor army :-)

OK - so I have refurbished the gondor troops - here is a before of one of the poorly painted and broken warrior... (just another couple hundred to get through, but one step at a time)

And after some work, painting and careful patching 3 war bands of Gondor...

Next on the table (with my Modor Uruks) is my Morannon command (Gothmog already painted):

And two war bands of Mordor Black Guard with command:

Along with a second captain conversion!:

Now I just need to base, prime and paint them all!!!

Enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing all these delightful fellows painted up!

Love the Black Guard models, they look very old school, as if they are part of some old Christos Achilleos artwork!
Anyway, you're gonna do a grand job, the Gondorians look great! Keep the pics coming!

Cheers guys - I post some more pictures once they're based and primed and work is under way.

After our battle last night I really want to paint up some fountain and citadel guard... But will have to stay focused for now on these Mordor troops :-)

Do I:
1. Gondor Ilithien guard 3 warbands of foot, 2 of archers with command, banners and knight of white tower, 12 knights led by Faramir capt of Ilithien with mnt banner (blue cloth and shields with gold trim and tree)
or
2. 2 warbands of Arnor with king and command, 2 warbands of grey/rangers of north with Arathorn and halberd might purchase some hobbits to add to this army
or
3. 2 warbands of fountain guard with Boromir of white tower (ft & mnt), 2 warbands of citadel guard with spears led by beregond and captain, 2 warbands of citadel archer led by denethor and peregrin and 12 metal mounted citadel guard? Plus banner ft and mounted?
Or
4. 2 warbands of Osgilaith vets with command and cirian, 24 rangers led by madril, Faramir and Damrod - 2/3 warbands of womt
What do you think?
