The shipwrights of Dol Amroth have almost finished work on The Glaurung, which will hopefully carry my brave group of heroes beyond the lands of Far Harad…

There is more pictures, more store, and a discussion of the building on my blog: link

And you can catch up on the full story of the Glaurung here: link

Amazing work, but either the shipmaker is Evil or he is of seriously poor taste, great name.

Great work, I bet it floats.

Thanks guys.

The name of the ship has caused a bit of controversy. However, I beg everyone to remember that the end of the Third Age, when this story takes place, is over 5,000 years later than when dragon Glaurung actually lived. I doubt there are any in Gondor that actually believe he existed. It is similar to the British naming a Ship-of-the-Line Manticore or Chimera.

Great story!! I went to your blog and read through it. Very nice.

I like the story aspect with what you are doing here. Very creative.

Okay, I assumed you probably had a good explanation, just wanted to know what, it is after all, an awesome name.

The bells are ringing in Dol Amroth - Altherion, the Sea Prince of Tolfolas has arrived to join the crew of the Glaurung -

I love Altherion. Nice work.

Nice touch with the blue colour scheme.

Nice work on the shield and the blue colour scheme makes him look like a brand new figure...I also checked out your blog - Highly recommended!

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the adventurers!

Thinking on the Argonauts front...maybe your adventurers could come across some of these on their quest as a sort of homage? http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/our-ranges/greek-mythology/monsters/

Looks awesome! Would look even better with an erkenbrand type cape, but oh well

It turns out, while all of Dol Amroth was celebrating the arrival of Prince Altherion, another hero joined the crew of the Glaurung - Peldroc the Hunter.

Read all about his tough life, and why he looks just a bit 'orcy' on my blog:

In the finest traditions of a put together army, one or two different races are always welcome.

Rymond the Breelander becomes the last of the heroes to join the crew of the Glaurung. A bit of a conversion - something I'm not very good at.

You can read all about Rymond on my blog: http://therenaissancetroll.blogspot.co. ... urung.html

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Thu Mar 20, 2014 10:54 pm

You say you're not good at converting but Ry is a nice characterful piece and a worthy addition to the crew.

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 5:37 am

Looks great to me.

Lord of Winterfell · **Posted:** Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:22 am

Great Painting too!
