Thanks Gents. I have been neglecting this topic a bit, but also, have not really been making huge progress! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Desolation of Stockport tournament weekend, but did not manage to get the force fully painted.
Well, tabletop ready? Yes. To my personal satisfaction? Definitely not.
And I have another tournament the first weekend of May, so am furiously painting again! In fairness, most of what I'm taking was my 500 point Isengard list for Stockport, and so they need bringing up to standard, but the basic work is done.
Then, I am taking a quantity of the plastic Uruks which I painted earlier in the year, so job done there.
But then there are these fellows (not a good pic, sorry!):
Grima was an evening's work, and Saruman an evening plus another hour of fiddling.
And I started this guy last night:
Still undecided on the colour of the horse. Perhaps a dark grey. The robe needs a top highlight, and a fair bit of smoothing on the blends. Happy with the face, although I think I'll probably pop a bit of cold wash under the eyes and around the temples, and a bit of a warmer flesh tone on the lower lip.
I'll be entering him in the painting competition this month, if I manage to get him done in time. It's a great motivator. Then I should have a few more evenings to get the uruk berserkers and ferals up to standard. I doubt I'll finish, but I'll do what I can.
All this painting makes me miss scenery building! I'm seriously considering snow flock on my board. The disparity between the realistic look of the terrain I've made, and the more cartoon ice look of the board itself grates on me. However, It has to be movable, storable and robust, and I just don't think flock is going to be the ticket for that requirement! If I had the space to just leave it in place I wouldn't mind, but it has to get put away in a large tartan bag every time it's used.
