First 12 Morannon Orcs bashed out. Not going to lie, my intention with my ‘evil’ armies for LOTR is to take time on the big characters and pieces, and then absolutely rip through painting a million orcs for it. Lots of baddies for the heroes to chop through!

Took a punt on some 3D printed buildings from ‘Highland3D Printing’. These are their Berlin appartment blocks. I think they came out really well for my Berlin Brigade stuff!

101 Forward control for the Berlin Brigade all ready. Big thanks to seb for the modular print (the canvas top has a roll up side for Rapier missiles as an option). This one will be a FOO.
Infantry and 432 for scale in the pics.

‘I’m on him’ all finished for my dad. A trio of fighters from tumbling dice models.
Light isn’t great in my house, but waiting for a break in the rain in daylight outside means… March.

The series this picture comes from is one of the best sets of ATS shots from the war. I love the look of ‘got you, you bastard’ on her face.

Rohan Royal Guard. Tricky figures to paint I found. I’ve never been great at doing all the shimmering metallic stuff and the notion of spending 50 hours in purgatory doing NMM on scale armour isn’t for me. Green cloaks have come out well, though fighting in something that long is ill advised!

Finished these last night. Arguably my favourite models GW ever produced. Eowyn the shield maiden, and Eowyn in the battle for Helms deep. I’ve painted them loads of times before, but these are specifically for MESBG next year. No surprises, im doing Rohan.

WIP of my dads Xmas present. It will have 3 aircraft fighting over the South Downs far below. Rookie mistake of not ordering enough Perspex rod, but that’s an easy fix that I can get more by next week.

With a voice like a Melodic Siege engine that crushes ancient walls in its wake. Nina lead Lowen last night into an astounding set of Sumerian doom metal.
Life affirming shit. Felt the emotion and sound wave push into the pillar behind me.
Incredible music.

Recently, one of our players completed a campaign with her first character. During the game, her characters Mentor was slain in the final battle in a moving scene.
I comissioned @carnaby.bsky.social to make a stained glass window of him as a Birthday gift for her.
Absolutely amazing.

Rapier Missile systems. I’ve done them in a park in Berlin to give a bit of colour. The cables are made from pipe cleaners I removed the fluff off. Lovely models!

This is really powerful. Six months after I got together with my now wife, she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. We are now nearly 20 years down the line. I’ll never forget the feeling 2 weeks before our wedding in 13, her official cure report coming in.
