Hello everyone! My name is Wiirgy and I have always been interested in lore of fantasy worlds but most of all LoTR. When I was younger my mom bought me some miniatures of LoTR and Warhammer Fantasy but I never really got hooked.

Now a few years later I have refound this awesome hobby and bought myself some colours, EFGT and a few other miniatures I thought looked cool.

I will be posting ALL of my work here on this thread. There is not much I can show you right now (on an iPad) but I will upload the stuff I have done the last two weeks later today.

I'm hoping to make some new friends and get valuable tips & tricks on how to improve!

Yours,
Wiirgy

That conversion for Alatar is awesome :yay:

I think the Balrog deserved more red and flame-like appearance instead of mainly black but well painted

Good luck with Azog he is looking very cool

I can't see any image. Any idea why ?

Just right-click and select open image in new tab

Also what is with the Goblin King's eyes :?:

wiirgy · **Posted:** Sun Jun 23, 2013 5:21 am

All of the characters look much darker on the pictures than they really are. The Goblin Kings eyes were my first attempt at eyes but I wanted to make them a little more wolf like (Yellow/Brownish) he is still not quite done yet, have some small details that I have missed, like his crown :|

Not sure why the images look like that, maybe Dropbox is not the best "image host" but I am on vacation atm so that was the only way I could upload them. If anyone knows how to fix this, throw me a PM.

Best Wishes,
Wiirgy

Azog is nearing completion. Things I need to do is small details like the eyes and his base.

My old Citadel Fine Detail brush is wearing out, anyone got any tips on good allround brushes/fine detail it would be awesome if you could link me em'.

Enough Talking, here is Azog in his current state.

My old post with pictures seems to have gone away so here is my more interesting stuff I have done!

Balrog:

Alatar the Blue Istari

Army Painter brushes are fairly good. I was also thinking of doing an azog based on a berserker. Hope it turns out well.

Very happy how he turned out except for his blue eyes which was tricky to make.

I picked up 2 Winsor & Newton brushes from my art store one size 2 and one size 0.
They we're about 3 dollars each and I'm very happy with them so far. Here is his eyes done, not sure how I'm gonna do his base.. tips?

Azog 90%:

I took a break to test my new brushes when doing eyes so here is Ori (also not based yet):

I also pulled the trigger on these trolls.. its alot of money but I just couldn't hold it xD.
These will be my reward for painting all of the EFGT goblins:

As there was nothing I could do to Oris or Azogs base right now (I forgot to bring my PVA glue) I decided to paint Gandalf! Painted him a lil darker than GW did but it didn't turn out as well I wanted to. Still, I'm quite happy with him! ^^

Also not based, obviously

Hello! In search for something to do I decided I wanted to do something with all the plastic sprues I have. As I plan on using Moria Goblin Archers for my goblin town army I decided that they needed something elevated to stand on so I started building a small platform!

What I did was cut out strips of plastic that I then carved to look like wood, I then simply glued it together with plastic glue!

Heres some photos: (its still undone and unpainted)

Close Up:

Azog, Gandalf and Ori standing on the platform:

The Sprue terrain looks really effective for Goblin Town.

Thanks mate! I think I really captured the look of Goblin "architecture". Gonna make a separate ramp for it as well and probably some other expansions for it to make it as modular as possible.

I suggest everyone looking to expand their Goblin Town scenery to try this out!

Excellent, it looks great, its green and its cheap!

Thanks buddy!

Anyone got any suggestions on what else I can do with this?

As forAzog and Oris, how about basing them with a Moria theme? Some stone slabs for the floor ?
