Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character, wrong answers only.

I got my start in the hobby with 2nd Ed Warhammer 40k when I was a kid. After a long break I came back to the hobby and it's taken 5-6 years back at the painting desk to circle more or less back to the beginning. Technically this is a new sculpt in the old style, but it feels like home.

Share something yellow!

I keep telling myself that I need to post more on Bluesky. So here's some cool pics from this weekend's SoCal Hobbit League tournament!

Can't wait for the next one in April!

Been a minute since I've posted, but I've been painting right along! Got pulled into Bloodbowl and that's been a hoot

Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger

Farmer Maggot and his hounds

Gaffer Gamgee is REALLY protective of his flowers

I found this Warhammer ziggurat built and primed in a box of junk sprues marked "free". So I adopted it and slapped some colour on it!

I'm in no rush, but I'm sure I'll end up there eventually! 😝

You know, I've painted Gandalf 7 times now. Nearly a full fellowship 😂

More Gandalf

Quote with some femme fatale art!

I've been painting a bunch of stuff for a Shire army for LOTR, starting with Gandalf riding into town on his cart!

Ingold, Warden of the Rammas Echor

Irolas, Captain of the Citadel Guard

A handful of ballistae for Minas Tirith

Gondor calls for Artillery!

Now that the rest of the game has rules, I'm inspired to expand my existing Minas Tirith army. I decided an "artillery division" sounded like a good time (for me, not my opponent 😝)

You know he might just be! Though the fun lore twist might be that he's more of a card player and he's cursed with a name and family heraldry that makes people think otherwise! 😝

The last of my Halfling Knights from the Half Tilt starter set, Sir Rooksborough!

Thanks! I love how spooky it is

Scripture Guardians wander the wastelands, hunting for ancient holy texts amongst the crumbling remains of lost civilizations

I'm running out of Halfling Jousters to paint, but that's not a bad thing! I finally have enough painted up to actually play some Half Tilt and I'm stoked!

#miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Planning ahead a smidge for my Knights of Avarice warband, I swapped all of the lightning bolts on this electro mage from Bestiarum Miniatures and converted her to a Gas Witch!

#Trenchcrusade #nerdlings

In the last round of our Trench Crusade campaign, my warband uncovered a Book of Golems in the aftermath. I already have a pair of daemonettes based together to act as my War Wolf, and I thought that a third one its own would make for a nice thematic golem proxy.

It's been a long while since I painted any Unmatched miniatures, and had a lot of fun painting Dr. Sattler and Dr. Malcom from one of the Jurassic Park sets!

#miniaturepainting #jurassicpark

Another character for my heretic Trench Crusade warband, this time with a big gun!

#miniaturepainting #trenchcrusade

Jousting with a lute is certainly a choice... Maybe he'll rock his opponents right out of their saddles!

#miniaturepainting #halftilt

Apparently I haven't been sharing the Halfling knights I've been painting from the Half Tilt starter box!

#miniaturepainting #ttcombat

Lol I couldn't resist!
