Fog on the Barrow Downs


I built four of these barrow entrances a couple of years ago when I was in a very minimalist painting phase* in order to play the MESBG Fog on the Barrow Downs. The one where the four hobbits are chased by the Barrow wights and rescued by Tom Bombadil. Anyway I decided I needed one for a Hawk the Slayer scenario. And after gap of  4-5 years, its now time to do some actual painting on this one. 


*The stones in walls are actually rock textured wallpaper stuck onto foam card. I didn't even paint the edges. I told you it was a very minimalist painting phase!
