Tricksy Goblins

 Gathering Horde

After putting WA parts on the Oathmark bodies yesterday, I thought would return the favour with Oathmark parts on the WA bodies. However, the arms don’t fit without drastic cutting, which can make them look very stunted. So, in short, I mostly gave up and used whatever remaining arms where left on the WA sprue. Nearly time for a bit of Green Stuff to cover up the joins. 

With over fifteen different heads, I didn't bother try using Oathmark heads for the WA goblins. 


I will make up a couple of group bases which give a really dynamic feel and combined with the single bases will give enough flexibility during games. 


A tale of two Boromirs. 

It is easy to get channelled down the thinking, that there are correct colour schemes for LotR figures after nearly twenty years of looking at the films. So I decided to go a different way with  a more colourful style for the older figure.

  1. We have never been fans of LoTR miniatures inspired by Jackson's films, precisely because it seems to us that they excessively limit creativity in the hobby, "forcing" towards a predefined look and colour patterns. So the choice of different and more brilliant colours for the old Boromir seems to us very suitable; indeed it reminds us of the clothing of the Saxon warriors....

  2. I wanted a very different look to the old Boromir.
