Grimbold and more Death Guard

Here's the big man himself with standard bearer and horn blower:

They're facing their first outing today, so I expect to be packing them away early!

Also fresh of the production line, nine more Death Guard. I've put some rusting barbed wire on the bases this time, but might add a touch of silver here and there to help them stand out more:

The right hand pauldrons have been varnished gloss ready to receive transfers later this weekend :-)

Riders

Just need to finish the command team to have this unit ready for action against Saruman's horde on Saturday. That wont be a drama. Of more concern is whether Erkenbrand turns up in the post in time!

Anyway, here's the rank and file.

Arrows are courtesy of the Perry WotR box set, As mentioned, the command team should be ready by tomorrow. So group shot to follow :-)

Chalk and Cheese

Some more Death Guard under a Sergeant.

I'm not convinced that plain green makes for a striking helmet crest. Might put some white stripes in there or switch to red.

Transfers from FW arrived on Friday, just waiting on some microsol to sort out their right pauldrons.

Then we have the last of the rank and file Riders of Rohan:

Rohirrim

February's task is to put together a 500 pt Rohirrim force for Lord of the Rings.

After using Hama and Gamling for test paints, it was onto the Riders of the West Fold:

As you can see, I am doing them in batches of four based on horse colour. With greys and bays ready for battle, next up is the Chestnut troop ;-)

Oh and here are the test paints:

Last of the Warriors ... and Gothmog

As promised, the last 12 warriors for my Dux starter force, leaving just the general and champion to crack :-)

and Gothmog - enough said!

Next and somewhat ignoble character for Dux and some LotR

So with the last 12 Warriors at various stages of completion. Here's another character, short and wiry, cruel, lustful and a noble-born exile (hence the pink trousers!):

and some recent LotR pieces for my Mordor army:

I have Gothmog close to completion, some Uruk-hai to finish off and then some Warg Riders and 6 more Uruk-hai to make-up. However, the Rohirrim are calling me ;-)
