War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Nine

All the armies of the Free Nations are now painted up, so time to show them in their home areas of the map.

Men of Gondor in the south.

Men of Rohan.

Elves in Lorien, Rivendell and Woodland Realm.

Men of the North in Dale and Dwarves in the Iron Hills.

Men of the North and Elves.

Elves, dwarves and Men of the North. Much easier to tell them all apart now.

All of the armies, of course not all of each army will be on the map at the same time normally.

Attention is now turned to Southrons and Easterlings, who will field about the same number of miniatures. I hope to complete them by the end of June.

War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Eight

The Dwarven Nation is now complete.

Four leaders and five each of elites and regulars.

Orange red beards with a wash, really makes them stand out.

So that is all five Free People nations now finished. Attention will now turn to the Shadow Nations. First up will be the Southrons and Easterlings, I shall make them very colourful, based on an Indian army.

War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Seven

The Elven Nation is now ready for war.

Four leaders, ten elite and five regular units.

Light green of their map areas with a little gold thrown in.

The fifth and final nation of the Free Peoples will be the dwarf nation.

War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Six

Leaders and elite units of Gondor.

They sport the dark blue of their nation on the map.

The tree design on banners and shields, done by dry brushing with silver.

Gondor have fifteen regular units.

Once again the dark blue with silver tree is prominent.

All the units of Gondor.

Next up will be the elves, they will be light green to match the map.

War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Five

The ten regular Rohan units are now complete.

I am very pleased with how these painted up.

The nation of Rohan is now ready for war.

On the painting table now are the leaders and elite units of Gondor. Dark blue is their home colour.

I am still on track to complete all five of the Free Peoples nations by the end of this month.

War of the Ring - Summer Painting Project - Part Four

The four leaders and five elite units of Rohan are now complete.

They sport the dark green of their region.

I am very happy with how they have turned out.

Doing most of my work on the Tabletop Commanders Paint and Chat sessions. A great help to paint along to.

Next up is the ten regular Rohan units.

I am managing a fairly good pace with this project and hope to complete Rohan, Elves and Gondor by the end of the month.

Summer Painting Project - War of the Rings Board Game - Part Three

The ten regular Men of the North units now completed.

I kept with the light blue of their home region.

They join the leaders and elite units.

Nineteen figures down, a gazillion to go!

Next up will be Rohan. (Sorry, not the best of photos)

War of the Ring Board Game - Summer Painting Project - Part Two

The task has begun. Men of the North leaders and elite units finished.

The blue matches their home territories on the game map, or as close as I could get it.

Decided to flock the bases and paint the side of the bases with their home colour.

Just nine figures completed, but it is a start. Next will be the ten regular units for this nation.
