Great OSL effect, especially for the first attempt. I'll have to return to this thread when I get around to painting this version of the Witch-king. In my opinion, the model perfectly captures the moment from the books, when Grond breaks the gate of Minas Tirith, and "In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face." I would have loved to see this scene play out in the movies instead of the encounter with Gandalf higher up in the city. |

In deed, it's pretty iconic a model and it perfectly fits the scene, as you describe it from the book, as well. |

Beorn as a Bear's base is excellent. Nice use of a fallen hunter orc. Twisted wire tree? |

There's some fantastic stuff in this thread; I'm looking forward to seeing what else you get done! |

WiP!! A big one. I've been working on several stuff lately. Inevitably, if I wanted to complete some on my workbench, I had to focus. What's better than to push the Mumakil project, due to their massive size? This one is very close to complete, tusks, platforms, weathering and some details, namely and then one by one, the rest will follow. thanks for looking. |

I really like the whiter mumak. Most people paint them a darker shade of grey, so this is a nice change. The Witch King is also fantastic. |

Looks great! What colours are you using the the red cloth? |

Those bases look quite impressive all next to each other! And the first Mumak turned out great as well. Are going to do different paint schemes on the platforms for the other two? Or maybe some War paints on the Mumakil themselves to differentiate them? |

I love your painted hunter orcs, the highlights are in all the right places and the skin tones work perfectly. I'm really considering fielding them against my niece's elves in Battle Companies. I also love the middle orc in the top photo; that mace just seems so right for the orc look. It also seems somehow familiar... it is from the old (c. 2008) Empire Flagellants? Looking forward to your next update. Did that mumak ever get tusks? |

Did that mumak ever get tusks? thanks for your feedback, i was a bit worried about the skin tones, they're a bit vivid. I plan to make my hunter orcs quite a force to be remembered, I have tried to convert practically all, but the first 12. I have to tell you, though, I'm on your niece's side, I'm an avid elf fan. The Morannon orc in the middle of the top pic, holds a weapon from the hunter orc on fell wargs sprue. As for the elephant, it bears tusks nowadays, yes! and has some body painting on it, as well. |

Go for the bright, vivid tones. Use them as part of your signature style. Heck, Glorfindel in your signature is wonderfully bright. One of the things I hate about the old studio style for LoTR was how drab all the models were. There is a discussion going that the Mumak isn't as good as he once was. So maybe the white elephant is especially fitting? As for K's elves, they don't need much cheering on, they were a powerhouse against the dwarves! You can check out our Battle Companies posts. |

Those hunter orc bosses are excellent. The drums and the whips came out very well. |
