Some WarHammer terrain

Ok,its official,I finally caved..WarHammer Fantasy is one of my new hobbies (filling the once LotR SBG slot).So my army of choice is Skaven and last night I decided to begin construction on some terrain for em (I have a few months before I'll even get money to buy any Skaven) and this is what I got so far:

MoM update

For those of you who may not know I have a WIP thread on the One-Ring site but I kinda scrapped the project until last week where I started it again for use with LotR TMG,anyhoo,here are some pics of the Pillars so far(with some SBG minis running around for the heck of it).Also I plan on having the pillars to just be glued to some hex "bases" so to speak so that way I can remove them for storage and transportation.

Uruk hai pikeman coversion

alright,here's pics of my conversion of a uruk hai pikeman to a banner bearer:

                                            before,the cross beam is some
                                            leftover antenae conversion
                                            parts from my old straeto 
                                            freighter kit.

                                            held on with modeling glue then wrapped around with
                                            string and wood glue for strength and looks.

                                            used some of the straw/paper craft ribbon then glued
                                            on and painted black with poster paint on both sides.

My first blog

alright to whoever may read this stuff,i've been wargaming for years now and have been doing models since i was old enough to know not to swallow the pieces(my parents never cared that much of what i do as long as it isn't illegal so exato-knives and enamel paint fumes were never a problem growing up).i only just getting into Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Games but i've known about it for years in the sense of when the Two Towers movie came out my dad went to a game store for some Magic the Gathering cards and all i could do is marvel at the Helm's Deep diarama set up in one of the cases and now years later i am doing just that.so far i've put in about a weeks worth of labor hours but some more in planning,i've been using 1/2 inch foam insulation board held together by liquid nails and nails so here are some up to date pics so far:

                                            my workspace in the garage

                                            overview,as you can see that i don't have much of
                                            the ramparts up yet.

                                            front view so far

                                            note the stairs and archway

                                            view into courtyard from footbridge

                                             my overgrown and unkept bonsai


so there are my pics so far,i plan on after putting on the rest of the battlements and ramparts(i think thats what they're called) then i'm going to place on a even layer of stucco and well it's still wet i'll draw in the stone blocks then i'll prime it and dry brush(or use spray paint,idk yet).
