This and that..

Well I made it through three straight weekends of weddings, hopefully now I can get back to somewhat of a normal schedule! The past few weeks I have gotten a small amount of painting done. I've painted a few Games Workshop Lord of the Rings miniatures (I can hear the groans now as everyone rushes to un-follow my blog!) for a few games with my buddy. It is a Dwarf Ballista, and Banner.

I also based a Union Officer that I had painted a few months back and made a little battlefield clutter. I also plan to use it as a marker- I always like to throw in a few objectives and need markers that don't look completely out of place.

And lastly I repainted this Officers pants and hat to fight for the Union! Now he awaits his Regiment to be mustered(painted)!

I apologize for the lack of posts as of late, life has been crazy.

Uruk-hai Berserker

What? Something other then ACW???
I know that I've been on a huge ACW kick lately but I actually do paint and play some other things. Lately I've been playing a fair amount of GW's LoTR with my Uncle Luke- no relation, just an honorary title. I've bought a few blisters recently and I painted up a Berserker today.



Nothing too difficult on this, a quick base coat and then a dry brush for highlights. If you take out the dry time between colors its only a few minutes. My painting standard for Lotr is pretty low, a worthy sacrifice to have all painted armies on the table. Nothing irks me more then playing with a shiny metal or all black sprayed army. The basing on these is unusual, kind of a mountain of Mordor/ lava theme.. not really fitting for Uruk-hai, but it ties them all together and looks pretty cool.
