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 TĂșrin 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!
