Rumours have come of wolves and goblins assailing the Beornings, and now the captain, Ranion (or “Rongol” to his friends) of the eastern marches must decide whether he should venture forth from the greenwoods to their aid.

His advisor and kinsman Nathron counsels stealth, but his warriors are young yet and their hate of the orcs burns brightly.

The Tauranca listen intently, for the trees hear all.

But they are but few, a tiny band of warriors in a vast and often hostile forest

With very, very special tanks to Milo, Holger and indeed Master Barliman for the inspiration.

April 16, 2011 at 10:37 pm #16852Very nice… !
April 17, 2011 at 10:31 am #16858Hoouuu I like this very much Gavin. When will beornings join them ?
This company makes me feel very small!
😆
April 17, 2011 at 10:36 am #16861Great job, Master Gavin !!! Thank you for providing these pics.
April 17, 2011 at 1:22 pm #16867Has a realistic feel about it, looks great Gavin.
April 17, 2011 at 6:09 pm #16873Thanks all.
The outcome wasn’t bad, but still not as good as I’d hoped. My next big nerd purchase will be a new set of brushes, and hopefully they will help better than the set I currently have.
The female Sindarin scout figure was an utter nightmare to paint. I had to use rubbing alcohol to get to goop off her face.
As for the Beornings, I need to make some more preparations and then paint them all at once. Meanwhile I am halfway through painting a company of plastic GW Knights of Dol Amroth that have been sitting in a box since last summer. The Beornings will follow right after. Well, right after a Dungeons and Dragons gnoll or two.
April 18, 2011 at 8:30 pm #16908Really nice Gavin!
The colors are nice, as well as the painting and theme.
August 19, 2015 at 9:42 pm #32918Like this one… also nice pinitnig… Are these figures also stolen……
August 24, 2015 at 6:32 am #32945Very Nice Master Gavin
I like this very much, good painting job. -
