The speed with which I finished off the figures in my last post left me feeling up for more quick retouching. To this end I dug out two lots of Warhammer Lord of the Rings (LotR) figures I'd been intending to re-touch for some time.
First, the 'Dead' that I bought painted off eBay (for less than the cost of the basic figures) but wanted the paint job modified from a 'stone grey' to an 'ethereal green' and the basing changed to match the other figures in my collection. I did an earlier trial 'touch-up' in an earlier post (Link) so this was a fairly quick bit of dry-brushing and re-basing on this bunch of 21 figures.
En-masse they look good, but up close the basic nature of the paint-job is more apparent.
Second, I had a unit of 12 Rangers of Ithilien painted by Fernando Enterprises.
While I like the green used for their cloaks, it is the same as that used on all my Rohirrim figures and I wanted to differentiate them. To this end I re-painted the cloaks in more muted colours, better suited for Rangers to blend into woods.
... and one lot in darker green/brown cloaks as Rangers of Ithilien.
This gives me some flexibility with these figures as they could all be used as the same troop type / unit, but they can also separated into two smaller units that can be distinguished visually.
... for now?
