Well, the slog continues to get things ready for Bilbo's Bash! As I waited for glue on the display board to dry, I did flock and grass on the miniatures. Normally I don't do any of that until they are 100% completed, but circumstances dictate drastic measures!
Here we have some of the Easterling foot troops. Some are Black Dragons, some are standard issue. This is where making the upgraded troops blue/gold will be very helpful during the heat of a tournament game!
While I would have preferred to have a lot more miniatures on the board, it does occur to me that good armies tend to have smaller numbers.
The infantry captain is on the raised base in the middle.
In a very ironic twist, my Elf army (even with Great Eagle Gwaihir) has 8 more guys! Of course, this army does not have 4 chariots in it.
You can see I have a bunch of shields stationed about waiting to be painted. Those guys will look really different with those attached. I have gotten used to playing without them :-)
Time to get back to the grind! It's gonna be another late night...
That red, gold and purple is absolutely stunning. I like the wide shots as they really showcase the overall effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was really trying to balance out the opposing and allied armies color wise!
DeleteSigh. It's people like you which dictate why I go for Best General these days ;)
ReplyDeleteHe he.. it's the Best General folks that make me go for Best Painted :-)
Deleteouch! You kill the system - fantastic army
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to see a project like this as a whole 'army' for the first time! You get used to looking at it piecemeal...
DeleteYes the high elves look stunning! I'm not quite sure what else I can say!?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words!
