Lord of the Rings on the Cheap

So as I slowly continue sorting through my closet of shame for the currently running 6MMRPC, I came across my old LOTR "clix" style figures.  Now, back when I was 8-14 yrs old, I loved the clix style games, but I no longer play them soooo, I decided to update the collection to be usable with rules I play now. 

So, I removed the figures from the hex bases, mounted them to my normal fender washers.  Then gave them all a dark brown wash, varnished them, and tarted up the bases with my normal flock concoction.  Done and dusted.  

37 Figures ready for playing games and it took all told about 2 hours to do.

3 Ring-Wraiths.  Good sculpts, dynamic poses.  Shit weapons, but oh well.
   

Saruman the White.  No I didn't paint the eyes.

Easterling Warrior and Shaman.

Moria Orc Champions

Moria Orcs.  Really pleased with how the wash made the faces look.

Moria Orc Bowman

Moria Orc Spearmen

Elrond.

Mirkwood Elf Swordsmen

Mirkwood Elf Bowmen

Frodo w/the Ring and Sting and 2 diff. Aragorn sculpts. Again, the swords suck but didn't want to spend a bunch of time converting on this cheap and fast mini project.

Rohan Archers. Probably going to see use as Viking archers as well.

Dismounted Rider's of Rohan.

Dismounted Rohan Warrior and a Gondorian Archer

2 Dunedain Ranger Archers.
I will not be counting these figures towards the 6MMRPC finished figures quota, but bloody well pleased with all of them and they will be counted towards my yearly finished count.

2018 Finished Figures - 37
2018 Finished Terrain - 4
2018 Games Played - 5
