July Painting Challenge: Aragorn

Got what I'm going to do planned, I just need to get some realistic water for the base. I'm planning on using the Death of Gothmog Aragorn on a resin dockside base to represent when he charges the orcs just after unboarding the corsair ship. Hopefully it looks like I see it in my head

Hi guys!

Probably going to enter this one. Really need to get my hands back in a brush an a handfull of minis.
Not sure wich one i'm going to enter, so here's both of them primed and ready to go!

My mounted King Elessar arrived today. Need to get some putty to fill the gap in his waist, but hopefully I can get started soon.

Wow. All the entries so far look great. I particularly like Cyndra's. I've made a bit more progress with mine. Hopefully will post some pics this weekend. It's awesome so many people are joining this challenge!

Halbarad of the Dunedain conversion from a Plastic Aragorn, Black Tree Design Eomer (head) and Warlord games German ('Elvish' Bow and Quiver) and a Mithril Gamling the Old arm
I never basecoated him so you could see the conversion

Wow, such a lot been done already. Going to be really tough this month.

I always thought the MoM aragorn pose was very wierd and a bit static. the MoM legolas was a bit stale too, he seems to be staring ahead

Made some more progress. It felt like he should have something in his left hand so I did a minor conversion and added a flag from a knight of minas tirith - just to demonstrate his true allegiance. I also think I will do a scenic base. Cut and sanded the timber today and found a rock in the backyard that I've started to paint. Will add some grass, bushes etc for a woodland feel. Not sure what to do with the sword. I might make my first attempt at NMM.

Proof I only just started the base!

Still need to add the bottom half of the flag pole.

Looking good edge. I look forward to seeing how the scenic base turns out.

Looking great, everybody. I'll post my proof pic this afternoon so I can participate in this one, as well.

My proof pic. The kingy still in three pieces. Got me a pack of green stuff today. First time I'm using it, hope this doesn't turn too interesting.

I've ordered a few of those display bases now

Do you know if they sell the 25mm Base inserts for the display base seperately or know of anywhere I can get them?

I bought another Aragorn the King blister (rotk) from the Middle-earth weekend at Sarehole, Birmingham for £2. My BGiME one was miscast and aragorn had a pinhead!

Shame about the miscast but still that's a good price. Where there many minis that cheap at this weekend?

Sorry it's a little blurry, but I snapped a quick pic with my phone. It's just the proof picture, so I figured it's not a big deal. I decided to use the Attack at Weathertop Aragorn, with the flaming brand removed. I think it's an improvement.
