December 6, 2015 at 12:47 pm #33608Wahou, this is just fantastic conversions colors, painting on shields. I also think background for pictures highlights in a better way your work.
Great, really great:cool:December 6, 2015 at 2:16 pm #33609Great work as usual! I really like the troll.
December 7, 2015 at 2:10 pm #33616Very nice models and conversions, I like them!
What colors did you use for the grey-blue skin ? I tried a few times to get that color, but never reached the result I wanted.
And what figure did you use for the figure in front, with sword and shield ?December 7, 2015 at 5:59 pm #33617Love your stuff Orc, really has a nice overall look to it

December 8, 2015 at 8:04 pm #33621I really like all your evil forces… how many orcs you have… !?!? Please try to make some photos from different angle so we can clearly see the details of your great painted figures…. perhaps from profile perspective, not bird’s eye view…..
December 8, 2015 at 11:00 pm #33623Looking great.
We need a family picture with all of them!!!
December 9, 2015 at 7:43 am #33624My Pleasure Ian! I like to use in my army different emblems and banners too….like this image (I love the feel of these picture:D):
[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/1376_gundabad.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/1376_gundabad.jpg[/imgz]
Thingol: I will try to take better photos this weekend and like Arthadan say…”a family picture too” !!
Talking about the Orcs:I have now in progress (I hope I can finish to paint the all before the end of February)
10 Snagas
4 Uruk Imps
30 Orcs
7 warg riders
3 wargsBy other side I have in “construction” (doing conversions)about 20 orcs more!!!:Do
To fight against my orcs I’m going to use “The Forest People” (New Project 2016)
Miniatures to use:
8 Beornings (Including Beorn)
16 woodman people (including Radagast)
16 mirkwood elves with armour (my idea is use MM407,MM406 & MM398)
16 Wood elves “hunters” (most of them silvan elves miniatures)
8 Thranduil and his royal guard (
Scenery:I have in mind, do a small woodman village including some villagers, probably Radagast house too, so the idea is play some scenarios between my two forces.:rolleyes:
December 14, 2015 at 5:37 am #33670Good day
I want to profit to talk about my new mithril project “The Forest People” and all ideas and sugestions are welcome!
The main idea is my orcs need some one to fight!!…so after thing carefully this last month, and because Arnor Kingdom is not a chance in this days….I decide finally this guys.
Some ideas to paint this army:
1)Use similar colors (Greens and browns)
2)All their bases will be decorates in “Autumn motifs” (front snow bases of my evil forces).
3)For Beornings and woodman people….I have everything I need in mind….the only concern is …in what way i’m going to do their houses? like a explain you before….my idea is suport this project…with a small woodman village . The image I want to use as reference is this one:[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/1376_mirkwood_holding09.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/1376_mirkwood_holding09.jpg[/imgz]
I’m thingking in dark age Eastern Europe houses like a reference… but any idea is welcome!!!
Here the list of miniatures I want to use:
8 beornings (including some in Bear Form)
8 woodman archers
8 woodman fighters
Hunters with some wolfhounds ( I need to some of this nice dogs to use with ours mithril minis)some woodman civilians, kids, animals….
3) About the mirkwood elves (My favourites in this amry) I want to do a small Thranduil’s army with:
King Thranduil and his royal guard (8 minis)
Mirkwood rangers, wood elves with bows and spears (about 16 minis),
Mirkwood guardians, wood elves with armour (16 minis) MM407,MM406,MM398
Cavalry??I’m going to need some elves shields, any recomentadion? about the sking color, I want to paint them very pale, almost white color! I’m considering to paint on them some tatoos too (specially to the rangers)
My idea is use Mithril miniatures…. Can I use Lorien elves like Mirkwood elves? I see they have some motives in their cloths…but not sure if this is important!!:rolleyes:
December 14, 2015 at 7:16 am #33671This is a huge project. I have started a beornr’s house project last year( or before?) which maybe should be revived so that we can share techniques and ideas.:rolleyes:

I’m considering to paint on them some tatoos too (specially to the rangers).Scibor shields include some that I’ve seen used for Elves, though I personally find them overly fussy and overly detailed, making them a bugger to paint, but you might have more patience than me:
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?group=155
The shields I’ve used for my Wood Elves are the ones produced to accompany the old Harlequin / Black Tree LOTR range. These depict a pair pf leaves, and are available in packs of five for just £1.10 (pack ACR49) from Second City Games:
http://www.secondcitygames.co.uk/userimages/procart85.htm
Regarding painting Wood Elves I’ve often been tempted to paint their cloaks in modern mottled green and brown camouflage patterns, but I’ve never yet done so. I suggest the idea in case you want to consider it!
December 14, 2015 at 4:11 pm #33682Master Milo: I want to know more about your beorn house… last year I expend a lot of time making scenery ….not sure this year, I prefer buy some Resin constructions and invet my time painting miniatures! but in any case…I want to see Beorn House!
Thanks Master Barliman!Great recommendations both of them! I will go with scibor to my elves! for the second link I will buy some shields to my orcs too!!!I Have some pending questions:
Can I mixt together Lorien and Mirkwood elves? I see they cloths are differents but not sure about the reason? By other side….any idea about what buldings/cabins to use with my woodman people and radagast?:rolleyes:
