Corsairs (Part VI)

Last year I played a few games with my Corsair army. I realised I needed more warriors to try some different army builds. A few months ago I managed to pick up some cheap extra warriors. So I decided it was time to paint them up. 

Another army ready to play after the lockdown!

 

Black Numenorians

A few months ago I had the chance to buy some cheap metal Black Numenorians. I couldn't resist. You always need more Black Numenorians! I already painted them up, they will fit nice in my Morodr or Corsair forces.

Desktop update

Another small update.

I bought the invisible ringbearers and based them. Lovely addition to the game!

I also picked up the recently rereleased Hasharins and decided to paint both of them for my Corsair army:

Corsairs and Mordor

With the made to orders I finally managed to obtain some Morgul Stalkers. For some reason I always liked the models but never bought them. And when they went oop, they were always so expensive. But things can change.

I painted them up and they will see battle real soon!

I also made some more progress on my Corsair army. Last tournament held in Turnhout was a special one. You didn't had to bring an army. They were provided and randomised to the attending players. I got a Corsair army! I even managed to win the tournament.

First one this year ;).

Corsairs (part V)

Still waiting on some more corsair reavers that I orderd a few weeks ago (together with some made to order, yes my mistake). Meanwhile I painted up Râza the Serpent fang. Lovely model, a joy to paint. I'm really fond of Forgeworld models and I have to say that after painting a model from their range I really am reluctant to paint the older models.

I also got my hands on something special. I bought some of the unreleased metal corsair models from GW. A rare catch! I painted both of them up. Only problem is that the fit in so well with the other sculps, nobody noticed them :p

Corsairs (part IV)

More progress!

I finally finished the largest chunk of the army.

I started with some Corsair reaver conversions. I orderd some miniatures with a naked torso and started chopping. I kept the head and legs from the Corsair models and with some green stuff I created the following reavers. Not that bad for my first conversions and use of green stuff :D!

I also painted up the last of my archers:

A small update

I made a little progress on the corsairs and painted up 7 arbalesters. Next on the painting table are some archers and corsair reavers.

We also continued the Gondor at War campaign. Scenario three saw an easy victory for evil. The rangers of Gondor stood no chance against the hordes of Haradrim.
A first victory for evil!

Last thursday we played the forth scenario, the raiding of Pelargir. The corsairs swarmed the poor clansmen by suprise and after three turns most of the building where on fire and two already burned down. The clansmen renewed their defences and started slaughtering the corsairs. The corsair started fleeing back to their ships. But it was already to late and a third building burned down. Another victory for evil. 2vs2 for now.

I also started  combining Minas Tirith and the Fiefdoms into an all mounted army list. With great succes for their first two games. Easterlings were slaughterd in the first game and even Isengard stood no chance.

Corsairs (part II)

An update on my corsair project. I finished the next eight warriors, Delgamar en Dalamyr:

I really love the forgeworld models. Delgamar was once again a joy to paint with lots of details. Looking foreward to more forgeworld stuff! A shire army comes up to mind :D.

Once again it has been a while. But I have been buzy the last few weeks and enjoyed a long holliday in Egypt.

I made some more progress and started with a nex army, the corsairs of Umbar.
I started with the first eight warriors and some commanders and gave some of the models some small conversions like a hook or a little parrot:

In between I painted the priority token from the new three hunters set:

And I finished Grishnakh. The model was lying around on my hobby desk for more than a year now:
