One of the good things that seems to have come out of the
narrative campaign so far is that I’ve started repainting a lot of my
collection. Many of my LotR models were painted back when I was about eleven or
twelve, and so naturally they look awful. The first models to be redone were my
Ringwraiths, followed by the four hobbits, but these were all fairly minor
things, so I’m not gonna be making a post about that. The first major group to
be finished are the Uruk-hai Scouts, along with their two captains Lurtz and
Ugluk.
In addition to the two villains there is one old box worth
of Scouts. i.e. 24 in total: 8 with hand weapons, 8 with hand weapons and shields
and 8 with orc bows. On a side note I originally picked these guys up
specifically to play scenarios out of the Two Towers Journey book. The first
appearance they’ll be making in the campaign will either be at Amon Hen with
the breaking of the Fellowship, or else at the Fords of Isen, depending on how
things pan out.
So that’s the first half of Saruman’s hunters. The second
half will be 24 Orc Warriors, led by Grishnakh who I’ll attend to sometime
soon(ish). The next models I paint will likely be a group of six warg riders,
though that won’t be until I’ve actually got them, as I haven’t even been able
to order them yet. In the meantime I’ll be working on something rather
interesting that I’ve never really done before. I won’t reveal what it is yet
as not only does it spoil what happened in the first six scenarios, but because
I can’t guarantee it’ll work in the first place…
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
Cheers!
Nice models 😀
