Echoes of Erebor
Entry 1: King Thror 02/03/20
First up is not the first model I painted for this army. I bit the bullet and bought some resin Games Workshop minis in the form of Thror and Thrain since there was not other options. Fortunately this cast was good with minimal fuss but I did need to use hot and cold water to get the sword into shape. It was bendy and flimsy. I’m still terrified of the sword breaking. I was half tempted to buy a plastic dwarf on ebay from Thorins company purely for a sword, but it was not necessary.
Whether the old man can survive moving around in a carry case is something only time will tell.
This guy was a joy to paint btw. I’m half tempted to have a few Grim Hammers and do a simliar colour scheme to them to mark them as Thror’s personal bodyguard.
Following this project keenly! I’ve always meant to get into the hobbit and lotr strategy battle game but it always slipped my mind.
@kharegim thanks! It’s unfortunate with the GW shut down that I won’t be able to expand this any time soon so I might amalgamate other armies Into the hobby log as time goes on.
Is there anything you’d like to see or have an interest in? My work is doing a minimal capacity split it shifts so I have more day’s off
I’m keen to see any hobby mate, I’m finding it’s good for me to keep looking at blog posts and reading what people are posting, self isolation is very boring otherwise!
@kharegim I’ll try post more soon. I was thinking of starting a forum thread of ‘what to do’ with a wide variety of stuff not just gaming
