|  stitch's staff tournament army WIP greeting, greetings man-things! well, our yearly staff tourny is only 3 months away... for the first time ever, stitch will be playing LotR?!!  so, do i have a list yet? hell no... still, my plan is to have a solid center of easterlings supported by the much weaker orc hoards. (as the black numenoreans won't be out yet!  )however, for now i've started painting up my 1st phalanx of easterlings which consists of; 1 easterling captain w/halberd 1 banner bearer 4 easterlings w/sword & shield 14 easterlings w/sword, spear & shield that should make a nice solid block which can fight in 3 ranks!  so here they are - pretty pictures!!!       okay, so it's barely a start - but it is a start!!! as i'm off today, i'm planning to spend the bulk of my time feverishly painting! cheers!

a) getting everything i want! b) the minas morgul allies lacking their scarier models! (sadly, the black numenoreans aren't out untill 2-4 weeks after the staff tourny!>.<) stupid early easter in march becuase it's a leap-year!!!  still, i've got 6 morgul stalkers and i'd like to include at least 4 of 'em as they're not only sweet models, but for orcs they're also dead scary! anyways though, i've been thinking about dropping my phalanx a bit in size so i'll have 2 smaller ones of about only 15... i'll need a good 5 or so kataphraks hobbit armies are very popular! (stupid hobbits and their throwing of stones!) i'll try and get a list up soon... hopefully within the next few weeks we'll have finally heard how many pts the lotr tourny will be too! cheers!

| Re: stitch's staff tournament army WIP UPDATE!!! okay, so we're all a bunch of lazy gits where i work... but luc finally e-mailed a few photos, sadly, his camera's acting up. anyways, this is probably the most models i've recently painted and seen through to near-compleation! Image of easterling army WIP 4 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting sadly, i've had to drastically alter my list for a few reasons; a) my original list called for a total of 67 models b) the tournament's in 2 weeks!O.O c) continants drift faster than i can paint! so right now i've still got the following to compleat; 5x spear & shield easterlings 10x easterling archers THE DARK LORD SAURON!!! *insert evil laugh* hope you all enjoy! cheers!

the gold is a real b*%!$ to paint though. mixing shining gold + mythril silver = a fate worse than death! the mythril is simply so strong that it's dead easy to over do it and then it's back to re-blending the previous highlight! (and there's 3 of 'em once the basecoat/ink wash/re-gold is done...) this tediousness with the gold does mean however that the red is for once easier to paint and highlight, which i guess is a plus?!! cheers!

i gave it all a wash of 60/40 brown ink/black ink wash and then overbrushed codex grey followed by a light drybrush of fortress grey with a bit of dark flesh mixed in... looks decently close to the terrain they had in the film. luc is off tomorrow so i plan to bug the hell out of him today about e-mailing the newest photos! cheers!
