Beleg Cúthalion and Finrod Felagund

After show you my progress in the conversions of Finrod and a Nargothrond warrior, today I'll show you my progress.

This is the Finrod model finished. I paint him with the colours of my Last Alliance elves to use him with the LOTR SBG and Blood Eagle. The heraldry of the shield is one I found in the Internet and I thought that was a nice one to go with this great character.

 This one is Beleg Cúthalion, the best hunter of his time. I painted the bow with a very dark brown to represent Belthronding. I opted for a normal sword because Anglachel will be a magical sword and this will made Beleg as a too overpowered character in game terms(BE).

First Age characters

I know, I know I told you that I painted a lot of LOTR models and it's true, but I need to varnish and base them so I don't upload it till they are finished.

Today I'll show you my WIP in the First Age elves for Blood Eagle. As a base models I used Warriors of Minas Tirith with heads and swords from the Last Alliance elves. I add some cloacks and some feathers to the helmets of the Athenean warriors from Victrix to give them some ancient Greece flavor.

This is a warrior, I need to made some more for the warband. I want to made different weapon options to see the difference between the different elven realms (Nargothrond, Doriath, Gondolin and Ossiriand). That particular one is from Nargothrond:

The axe give him personality 

I wanted a dynamic pose so I put the face looking to a enemy 

This cloth in the shield gives him a different look froom the MT warriors

This next WIP is Finrod Felagund, lord of Nargothrond. It's one of my favorite elven characters so I wanted him. He will have a list for him and Nargothrond warriors but I'll put them in the Beren list too. I'm pretty pleased with him. I just need to do a proper base and some touches to the armour and shield.

These two models are just to try some things. As a result you'll see that sculpt the cloack, and in general, it's not my stronger point lol but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. 

The guy on the left was my first attempt in Túrin Turambar (yes, I have many), the left one is a warrior from Gondolin

My next steps is decide which flavor I give to the other cities and the men. For the mens of house Hador or Beor I want to use some rohirrim on foot. For Doriath and Ossiriand I'll use wood elves from the LOTR range with different colour scheme.                                                                          

Hope you like it!                                                                                                                                 

Cheers,

LOTR and Silmarillion figures

Morning all!!


After a long time I'm back!!!

The lasts months I was working with LOTR models so the nexts days you'll see a lot of these.

I made two conversions. The first one is one of my favorites characters of the Silmarillion, the most tragic one I think, Túrin Turambar

Túrin Turambar, a simple conversion with a rohan warrior, a GB arm and elven helm.

The other conversion is another of my favourites characters, Beren. With de cover art of the last Tolkien book of Beren and Lúthien I started to think how to make him. I used a rohirrim warrior again with a galadhrim Knight head with a GB arm.

The inspiration for my Beren conversion and color scheme

 Finally, This is my test miniature for my haradrim army. I think that is a good one with the contrasts of red and pink/purple over grey and gold.

 Hope you like it!


Cheers,




John
