The everything miniatures wargaming thread

[The Brain]

Painted some LOTR trolls, one Olog-hai and two normal trolls. They are from Ragnarok miniatures, which has a good LOTR (not offically LOTR) range, that is growing. Very nice minis I think. Also did some Woses, same manufacturer.

And some orcs, (Ragnarok Goblins). They form a Minas Morgul battle company, together with the two Black Númenóreans I painted earlier (see upthread). The archers appear to be heavily influenced by GW Night Goblins, but they'll do.

Very cool!

A new LOTR Dwarven battle company. I made one earlier (see upthread), but I couldn't say no to these Ragnarok minis.

That looks great!

Those are fantastic for Tolkien Dwarves. I love the look of the Games Workshop/Armies of Middle Earth Iron Hills Dwarves, but they're silly expensive, out of print, and resin.

Thanks!

The bases are Geek Gaming Scenics' Base Ready Mountain Pass, which isn't their most inspiring but works for stony guys like Dwarves I think. I can always add more details later if I want.

I cannot recommend the basing material from Geek Gaming Scenics enough. I really like the result of my earlier way of basing, but it was a multi-step process that took significant time. With the GGS stuff it takes seconds, and the result is great (like the skeletons, trolls and orcs above with their Wasteland Soil). A painted and based figure always looks better than a figure that remains unpainted because it's too much effort to paint and base it...

Basing material of this kind has existed for some time of course, but I think the GSS stuff brings much better quality, and they have a great range.
