I'll get back home tomorrow apparently (: )

Looks like Zirak-Zigil to me! Very excited to see how this turns out!

Wow, nice

Love the dwarves, but maybe do a little more with the bases.
As for zirak zigal, It looks good so far, only wouldn't it be better to use wood (mdf?) instead of cardboard for the wall?

Thanks all!

glad you like my work so far, I know the bases look a little.. boring. But I need to use the sand for my moria terrain, I won't use grass etc.. If I wasn't working on gobs or dwarves, I'd make it look more special (:

Tomorrow, I'll be back home, I'll do some more on the tower, post some pics later, I'm quite tired with all the medication and such..

I've been painting some models lately, here are the results so far, enjoy!

The Dragon is a little darker in real life

I am inspired by your work on the large tower

The figures are also coming along nicely

wow wow wow, why have I not seen all this progress? It seems like a decade since I've commented here. Well I am impressed - painting, terrain, more terrain and conversions! That tower is coming along nicely, let me guess is it Durin's Tower where Gandalf slays the Balrog? Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next update.

Hi all, thanks for the nice comments :-D

I'm glad you like 'em!
Because of my illness (something's wrong with my blood, but we don't really know what it is) I haven't been able to paint much or do something else with the hobby, no updates on Zirak-Zigil either, I'm not allowed to work with knives now, if I might cut myself it could be very dangerous 'cause of my blood and the things that are wrong with my blood. Also, I'm very tired because of the high medication I have to take, so I haven't been painting (much), due to the models' small size, and the tiredness, it hurts my eyes which causes headaches..

But here are some pictures of the latest things I've painted, it's not much at all, but I hope you'll like them!
I'm using magnets to keep the models in place on their movement trays. So anyway, here's a company of Khazad Guard and Goblin Prowlers (sorry for bad quality, I'll re-take the pictures later):

and a metal dwarf warrior I've been working on and also some further progress on Dain Ironfoot

Nice paint work on those dwarves!

Very nice work you have here. Really like the metal dwarf.

Didn't know they had them in metal.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:11 am

very nice

I realy liked the dragon :yay:

It looks like ancalagon the black
some vivid yellow/orange eyes would make it look amazing

Eaothen-the-brave · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:31 am

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like them!
@SidTheSloth: The last progress I made on my dragon is that I painted the scales on his belly with boltgun metal, which goes pretty well with the rest of the coulours IMO. I was thinking about painting his eyes yellow too, I wonder how it'll turn out with the dark coulours of his body though :wink:

@Wah Wing: yes, GW produced these before we got the plastic ones, you can still order them on their site last time I visited, but you can find them on eBay quite a lot too, way cheaper ofcourse, that's how I got mine

Also, I'm still at home, but I'm getting bored lately, I've been playing lotr war in the north, but I finished it for the second time now.. so I decided to do something else which isn't making me tired, so I'm working on my Moria board again. Oh well, not that I'm cutting stuff and such, but I'm drawing some runes to decorate with and also the tiles for the floor and my walls are increasing in numbers (and that's something I hate to do, they're so small to make, so I'm quite happy)

But that won't be worth to upload pictures of, it's just some cardboard, perhaps I'll get to glue some to my walls if I got enough of them..

good work, the highlights on the beard really look good. Hope you'll feel better in the next coming weeks.

Here are some more pictures of the latest things I've been working on, also from some weeks ago though
As you can see I decided to make some molds for my Moria board and my bases, they include things like shields, weapons, satchels, ...
Anyway, here are some pictures:

Also, I tried a little sculpting on some of my Dwarfs, I tried to gave them a new helmet, this is my first attempt on sculpting so it doesn't look that great.. The bags on previous picture are also made by me though, but sculpting a helmet is a little more difficult.. :oops:

it's still a WIP too:

and specially for SidTheSloth some more pictures of my dragon to show his belly:

garmenhord · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 3:12 pm

are those copy's made in greenstuff?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Jun 12, 2012 3:35 pm

Ah, I should've done that with my Moria scenery. too late now.
