The First Age

I only painted a few of the First Age Gondor figures, but it was an interesting challenge for the NMM phase.  First, these guys are pretty tiny, and only a few metal surfaces actually show!

Also, they have a lot of dark blue, and that has to be reflected into those metals, along with the ground color and as much sky as possible.  I never played a Gondor army... mostly since it was what I was fighting against most of the time!

I opposed it with my Easterling/Khand alliance, and even my Mordor force.

Denethor

I think we only used Denethor in one game, but it was certainly interesting!  If I remember correctly, he had a tendency to switch sides during the game.

While the sculpt itself is relatively simple, the face does have a number of nice details.  Perhaps because GW was trying to get an actual likeness...

Many of the colors of the cloak were also used on the face, hoping to give it more of an aged, care worn look.  That of a custodian who has been in place far too long!
