Very nice job.. Some conversions look a bit out of balance etc, but this isn't that case.. could easily be a piece in production..
And the paintscheme is nice aswell.

This conversion is simple and ridiculously effective. :o The pose looks very natural. :)

I do think you could improve on the paintjob. It's not that you lack the skills, because the paintjob isn't bad at all, but some highlights en washes here and there could work miracles. ^^

Very nice conversion, and a good colour sheme as well, though as Amarthadan said a little bit of shading/highlighting might improve it even further.

I thought that was a really cool conversion - GW have really neglected to widen the Numenor army, but I think part of the reason is perhaps for theme. Either way, extra units based on Fountain Guards seems like a step in the right direction. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated :)

As far as highlights/washes and so on, what would you suggest? I'm always open to suggestions :)

Well done on the conversion.

Anarion has been described as using an axe in combat. I would have gone for that to make him more distinct.

For starters, slap on a good amount of Badab Black/Devlan Mud/new equivalents on it, this already helps a really big lot. Then you can go over all the high ridges on clothing and stuff with a paint one tint lighter then the one you used for your basecoat. It's not painting-challenge-winning stuff, but good enough for me.

Very nice, though the yellow came out rather neon-ish
