Paint Bench: 28mm Gondor Army

 I added more Gondor Cavalry as well as infantry. I went slightly crazy with this project. I think I have over 128 cavalry and now over 600 infantry. And another 100 archers. I use the old Harlequin/Black Tree Design and now Scotia Grendel line for my Lord of the Rings armies they are the bigger 28mm more closer to 32mm  I also have a few Mirhril Miniatures as well (Dol Amroth)  

Paint Bench: 28mm Great Orcs with Crossbows (Black Tree Design)

Vendel and Black Tree Design archers

Paint Bench: 28mm Orc Re-basing project (Done)

Repaint Time: 1 day (400 minis)

I decided to repaint all of my figures starting with my orcs that are all on my Siege of Gondolin table. Along with all of my elf army. Then I will just keep going. I think I have about 5000 figures to repaint the bases. I posted some pics of some figures on TMP and someone suggested that I paint my bases differently. So I did, and I really like the new way I paint them. So now I have to go backwards and repaint everything. Crazy. I did that once when I decided to start washing figures. So I went back and washed everything....took me about a week or so. 

Simple upgrade makes them look a lot better.

Repainting all the orcs and elves on the table, as I organize it for battle.

Paint Bench: More 28mm Great Orcs by Black Tree Design Finished!

Paint Time: 6 days

I love these figures so much I had to have some more. I can see myself buying a lot of these soon. I use them as Trolls or bosses in my orc army. They paint up nicely.

Paint Bench: 28mm Orc Crossbows by Black Tree Design Finished!!!

Paint Time: 21 days

Finally got my Black Tree Design Goblin/Orc crossbow. 

 

Part 2

Been busy lately and have had hardly time to paint with both of my daughters birthdays 5 weeks apart. And also have been busy with Ebay stuff. But I finally got back to painting and I am almost done with these guys. Tonight I finally washed them after gluing their crossbows on after painting them. Next the flocking begins.

And the finished product! Done painting orcs for a very long time. 

 

Paint Bench: 28mm Greater Orcs by Black Tree Design Finished!!

Paint Time: 3 days


I am painting these old Harlequin Greater Orcs (now Black Tree Design) up as Trolls in my Orc/Goblin army. They are huge figures, but I like them. I can use them to drive my orcs and goblins on the battlefield...Big Bosses so to speak.

These guys paint up great!



Part 2

Finished! Not the best, but good enough for the table.
