Great work Pasi! I like the robes very much, they have a very spectral feel to them. I also really like the base. All around great entry, Pasi. The competition sure will be fierce this month.

I've seen some good entries in this competition, bravo!

Well, here're mine. I couldn't decide which one to enter since they are both different(and not my best but they will do the trick)

Here's my entry, I really need to learn to take photos.

Please ignore the blue tack holding him to the base. I still haven't received my pinning set yet. :oops:

Bah! I really wanted to enter, and I was close to finishing, but I'm not quite done, and I even if I could get a half-decent picture without my regular camera, I hadn't thought to set up image hosting anywhere yet. I guess I'll just have to post it after the contest and get some feedback.

There are some really great entries here! Good luck to everyone!

Good luck everyone!

I probably won't be able to participate in the next one as I'm preparing for a ReaperCon entry for the next two months, but we'll see!

I know this is way too late, but...I sort of fell asleep before the deadline. Figured I may as well share my work anyway.

I found my old barrow wights lying around unloved:

And then did this to them:

and

I liked doing that so much I found some more

And in the end, I got this:

and this

With some detail shots here:

and here:

and finally here:

The "strange" looking wights are Mithril Miniatures http://www.mithril.ie Barrow Wights. Their product codes are MC28 and M255 (available from Mithril) and M169, which shows up on Ebay all the time.

I'll probably paint up another three or four this month, just because.

I was looking for those Mithril Barrow Wights at my LGS, they have a huge selection but were missing those. Good find, and a good job on the miniatures. Very dreary looking.. as they should be!

I haven't figured out the one-ring personal galleries yet, and since my wife and I also have guests over right now who want to play LOTRO, I'm just going to link to pics in my photobucket account I just uploaded now.

She was painting army of the dead for this, but didn't get them done in time. If the thread stays unlocked for an extra day we can post them in here (no worries about the competition aspect - it's not a factor). I nicked 2 of her AOTD to use as additional Barrow-wights, to give variance in the models, and also because the scenario in the FotR sourcebook calls for 4 of the little dears.

The colour scheme is clearly inspired by TheBucklandBrewer's great work in this thread - the original concept was much more of a GW-standard look, similar to UKFB, but a little more bluish on the non-armoured bits.

Here's what you do:

See that little button that reads IMG?

Click there, and it will past in the first part of the code to embed images in your post. Then put the link in and click IMG again.

So this:

"Proof" shot. (and yes, I swapped out one of the AOTD models for a different one)

Hope that helps

Just curious, when's the vote?[/quote] ya same here

Longbottom Leaf · **Posted:** Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:08 pm

Jonathan's not put up the vote yet, I don't think he's been online today. I'm sure he'll have it up soon enough.

scipio.au · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 7:48 am

What day of the month does the new one usually come up? I'm keen to get something else started (and hopefully finished!) before I have to go back to work!

General Elessar · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:18 am

In which part of the forum will the vote be?

Longbottom Leaf · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 2:19 pm

Jonathan will most likely post it in the Website News forum when he can, that's where the previous votes have all been. I'm sure he'll have it up soon, no need to worry.

SkeletonTodd · **Joined:** Wed Feb 10, 2010 11:09 pm **Posts:** 7

Any word on when the voting will begin?
