Boromir--SBG Paint Job

"The mightiest Man may be slain by one arrow. Boromir was pierced by many."
-Pippin

A break from my Goblin Town force, here is Boromir, son of Denethor!

The miniature is a little plastic figure from the Mines of Moria box set. I got that miniature when I was still in middle school!

And here he is from the back, showcasing his shield and the Horn of Gondor.

I'm not planning a Gondor force obviously, but the Fellowship of the Ring are a must paint.

Penny for your thoughts, sons of Gondor?

Gandalf the Grey--SBG Conversion

"Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?"
-Theoden, The Two Towers

Finally onto some more legitimate--although perhaps less colorful--wargaming in the world of Middle Earth!

As someone who has had bits and pieces of the LoTR SBG lying around since Middle School, I've always wanted to play and figured that now would be as good a time as any, and Gandalf would be the absolute best place to start!

First, a shot of him on our new tabletop board while my brother created a magical dry ice effect.

And now we have an actual shot of the paint job and conversion job as he dukes it out with some goblins. He is a plastic from the Escape From Goblin Town set, with the minor conversion of him holding a little blue flame like from Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire. The reason for this conversion was really a necessity... the model was second-hand and missing his second hand! So, a little green stuff, and we see Gandalf revealing himself as the powerful being he truly is.

So, what do you think of the Grey Pilgrim? I'll show some shots of the Goblin Town force I'm cooking up next time!
