My 2 brushstrokes...painting Lord of the Rings (added some heroes)

By Qraith, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

So i finally found some time to start painting miniatures again. I really enjoy Lord of the Rings and I think the game is amazing. The miniatures are way better than I anticipated. So following are just my 2 brushstrokes.

The Wargs:

Right now only two of the Bilwis are finished

These are great! Love the grimmy look of the Goblins!

And another two Goblins are done. This time more of a sickly yellowish skin

Sorry for the bad Quality of the last photos. I'm under the impression the minis are hard to photograph while standing on the table.
Here are some pics of the first finished Orc still on the handle

I know they don't look classic Lord of the Rings but I like to give my miniatures some color so that they can stand out on the board a bit better.
Hope you still like it.

I was going to ask. I think it's a fine choice; it's your game to paint after all! Though I will probably do mine in mostly earth tones, because I like those colors and think they fit the theme, they certainly won't pop the way yours do.

Here are my first two Wights finished. I'm really pleased with how they came out. Tried to push contrast

Those look great I really like them

The Wights are done. Now on to the Troll

Nice! My daughter (10) loves the game, and is itching to paint the figures. This will give her inspiration.

I just realized that I haven't uploaded anything on here for a while.

So I have been working on the heroes of the core set and I built a custom base for every one of them. Please enjoy

Beautiful work! I especially love the highlights and shading of Beravors cloak, the non-metallic gold metal effects on Gimlis axe, and the frog on Aragorns base 😂

Thanks a lot!

Actually Gimli is all true metallic metal. I don’t like NMM too much and I’m still learning TMM

Lol. The frog is awesome!

... as is the rest of your work. 🙂

Finished Elena. Not really happy with the face unfortunately but sometimes it just doesn’t work out

The sculpt on Elena's face is pretty bad. Given that, I think you did an excellent job. My Elena looks ok too except for the face. Plus I forgot to paint the eyebrows so it looks more like a swamp monster than an elf. :)

Awesome work with the terrain. I bought a plastic bag full of scenic bases but I've been too lazy to rebase anything.

Oh and good work with Legolas's boots and bracers. I really like those. The "straps" (or seams or decorations) being different color makes the figure stand out more.

Thanks mate! Much appreciated

Yeah Elenas face is really small and not very contoured (since shes female i guess) compared to the others

Very nice!
