Guardians of the Shire

I just finished painting up Guardians of the Shire box set. It's 6 Dunedain and the elf Gildor Inglorion. Funny thing about these figures, I had been searching for them on ebay for awhile(year+). I almost pulled the trigger on a $95 auction but I held off at the last second, thankfully. While going through my unpainted pile, I found a bag of "rangers" that I had picked up at one of the HMGS flea markets. It was all the figures from the box set. And I think I got them for $10.

Anyway, here are the pics

I think they came out "ok". I didn't go crazy with highlighting and shading. Too be honest, since I am actively trying to reduce the backlog of unpainted, I am just trying to get it painted quickly. I have too much to paint, too much to game and not enough time.

Rangers of Middle-Earth

 Dang it, I only got one post up in February? It was a crazy month with work, and kids school all that family stuff. Well Here are some Rangers I picked up at the Fall In flea market, maybe 2 years ago. They were painted to an acceptable level, just needed some touch ups.

I redid the bases as I find, a uniform base really pulls together different style painting to make it look like a more cohesive force. Plus I'm pretty obsessive about getting my nicely figures based.  I have system down pat now, so it's easy to get done.

 

The last thing I did was a simple wash with Nuln Oil, (the artist formerly known as Badab Black. Nice enough to fight along the rest of my boys.

Ciao for now, Xin
