Friday Night Round Up
Painting has definitely slowed this week with only two figures finished. But hopefully quality over quantity. Ok maybe not but I did at least paint something this week.
Newhammer Dwalin

| Dwalin, at your service. |
Making steady progress with Dwalin finished (No.11), I will not get the whole company finished by year end like I planned at the beginning of the year but shouldn't be to far off. I decided that they also need a display base. So, this will have to be added to list to finish this project.

Old (Hammer) Tom
Finally got round to finishing this mounted version of Tom Bombadil. Definitely one of the stranger characters from Lord of the Rings. And shows that you can take a few side turns in a book which is difficult to do in a film.
“Say rather that the Ring has no power over him. He is his own master. But he cannot alter the Ring itself, nor break its power over others. And now he is withdrawn into a little land, within bounds that he has set, though none can see them, waiting perhaps for a change of days, and he will not step beyond them.”

Nice job! I think Dwalin is one of the best minis of all that batch, but of course I love that other merry fellow!
ReplyDeleteI think Citadel has generally done a great job on matching the likeness of the characters. But I agree Dwalin is well done. Next up is Balin who is my favourite from the company. So I hope I can catch his look.
DeleteAs we've said before, we're not big fans of The Lord of the Rings miniatures taken from the movies, but this pairing of new miniatures with older Citadel ones from the 1980s is both new and fascinating. And so, in front of 25 mm hobbits, Tom finally appears more imposing!
