Scouring of the Shire Part I: Ruffians

Ruffians!

With the new scouring of the Shire supplement I had to paint up my Ruffians. I have all the models for the campaign. So I started preparing them for once Gondor at war is finished.

I started with the Ruffian leaders and a small warband:

Casualties!

What a joy, the latest Made to order. Finally a rerelease of the casualty set.

I was searching for a few years now, but I never could buy them without selling a kidney first. So I painted them up as soon as they arrived.

Meanwhile we also continued with the Gondor at war campaign. In the latest battle "atop of the wall" the good side claimed an excellent victory. This evening the next battles will follow!

Down down to Goblin town!

"Goblin Mercenaries! No more than a hundred!"

Dwalin, Battle of the five armies

I painted up my warband of Goblin mercenaries. Normally I love painting forgeworld models but these are terrible. I don't know what is wrong with them but they aren't digitally sculpted for sure. They feel like bad failcast.

A pluspoint for them, they are really good in game. I played a few times with my goblin town and they are an excellent edition to the army and give them some mobility

The three hunters

I painted up the new three hunter models. Lovely casts, a joy to paint!

I'm really fond of the new models, keep them coming.
