I finished a bunch of the miniatures from the dungeons and lasers box set. I must say they where an absolute pleasure to put together and they all fit very well with each other. It occurred to me as I was making them that they had an almost middle earth feel to them, in both scale, dimension and style. This was most apparent with the "town guard" (who are used to bulk out a box of what is really 20 or so npc's and then the rest guards, so not really a "village" but more of a city box). I really like the almost conquistadors look to these guys. I colour coded the units, green for polearms, red for swords and blue for ranged models. I think I will find a way to use them for MESBG, perhaps as an Arnor force, since I don’t really like the original Arnor models that much (they’re ok but they’re just a bit samey and underwhelming). Given that they have mounted troops and there is "official" commandant type models in the box too (note the Jean of arc type model above and the guy in the purple and blue) I think they'll work nicely. Because of this I also picked up some Rangers of gondor tp be my Rangers of Arnor. I've been painting these in a mostly traditional colour scheme but with a dark/ pastel blue twist. I also finished a bunch of the Dungeons and Lasers civilians. They are very easy to paint, mainly due them all being so different and characterful. It doesn't take a lot to come up with unique colour schemes. Again these where all very easy to assemble (despite the fact i'm a super glue guy, so I definitely glued my fingers a few times, once to my lip even). I'll queue another post about the 40K ruins I'm painting for an older client tomorrow.
Peace and love - EZPainter.
