Paint it or Punt it
The final stretch
What better way to close out this project than to paint more minis for one of my favourite games. I had the plastic Fellowship but through several ebay sales I managed to pick up a full set of the much nicer metals. My intention was always to strip them and get the Balin’s tomb display for them but it turns out that took quite some time to find at a reasonable price. With one in hand, or in the cupboard, excuses are over.
I’m a big fan of the Battle Streams in Middle Earth stream every fortnight and a few weeks ago was Gandalf week. The whole point of BSiME is to paint models you haven’t quite got round to. If you paint on theme for the week, you get entered into a draw for a highly prized, exclusive BSiME die. More importantly though, it’s just a bit fun to paint along.
Over the stream I managed to get Gandalf and a Galadriel done (she doesn’t count towards this project as she was only bought this year but it’s another mini from the backlog cleared). I’d forgotten how much I enjoy painting these minis. Especially the old metal sculpts. They are an absolute joy and yet not very time consuming. The bases aren’t finished because I need to mix up some flock for Galadriel to match the rest of my MESBG minis and I haven’t decided what to do with the Fellowship for their display tomb (I will not call it a plinth!).
Awesome work ?.
