Converted Hobbit Archer.
A simple yet effective conversion with the addition of a plastic bow to an old and sadly OOP model of Merry, from the ‘Merry and Pippin vs Grishnakh’ blister pack.
I love the look of shock on the miniatures face that adds a great deal of drama to my Hobbit Archers unit. He looks horrified at perhaps an enemy monster, or has he just taken down a Goblin and is ducking an incoming arrow?
My God Daughter Sophie used him in our recent game and he took down a Goblin archer and jointly saw off a few swordsmen (with help from several Dunedain, who were in the Shire purely as peace-keeping advisors!) and it was great to use him in a game.
He’s not going to win any prises, but I am really happy with the result and the conversion end result really looks convincing in terms of stance, feel and stands out amongst a unit of archers in regular poses.
