Isengard part 11: Heroes and huscarls

 

I continued working on Dunland and finished the first batch of huscarls. Epic models and once again the detail of the Forgeworld casts is outstanding. A joy to paint!

I also continued with the leader of the army himself, Thrydan wolfsbane and a command pack. Next up the painting desk are some mounted models and more heroes!

In the near future another warband of warriors and wildmen will join the army.

The first army of 2021 is already for 50% finished :D.

Isengard part 10: Dunlanding warriors

 

I continued the Dunland army and painted up the core warriors. I love these metal models and GW did a great job in designing them. Next up: Huscarls and heroes!

Isengard part 9: Dunland

A new year, a new army. 

After painting Isengard last year I already had made up my mind that a full dunlanding force would be up next. Last year I made some small progress and painted up the crebain and a handfull of wildmen. This year I would be tackling the warriors. I made a great start in january and painted up a big chunk of the core troops. I started with some two handers and archers:

 

Last models of 2020: Bill the pony and a campfire

I painted up a few random bits laying around the painting desk. An epic Bill the pony and the campfire from the three trolls set.

 

2020: Another yearly overview

And 2020 finally came to a close. What a year!

A strange year for sure. A year without any social contact apart from my family. Not having friends around, no parties, not playing games, no Ardacon, no tournaments in general.

But still an interesting year. I finished the renovations around the house, celebrated my sons first birthday and my wife got pregnant again. Another tiny hobbit will join us soon.

But time to see if I realised my hobby goals. As every year the goal is to:

• Paint more lotr models than I buy
• Buy more lotr models than Games workshop releases.
• Paint at least 100 models

In total I painted 253 lotr models, around 70 more then in 2019. An absolute blast! I really nailed that objective

I have 2636 models in my collection and 1748 of them are painted. I'm only 1 model off a complete collection. Stupid ninja Thranduil :D

In total I bought 131 new models and only need one more. So I smashed all my targets for 2020. 

2021 here I come!
