I put them front and center for you.



Orcs



I think the orcs need some kind of wash on the dirt and probably add some flock too.  Not as much stuck to the filler compared to the textured paint on the dwarves.  You might notice that the bases of the armored dwarves needed the filler. 

After that, I'll add a couple turfs to each base.

Nicer

Looking good for both.  I like that blend of yellow you put in the Dwarves' grass.  I think it gives some life to the bases.

I particularly like the two level effect on the dwarf bow

Cracking stuff, but where are the elves?

Yeah, I like to mix things up a bit with the flock.   You might like the basing I did on my 28mm Ethiopian troops:

I don't think you can really see it here but the crossbows are also on two levels.

Cracking stuff, but where are the elves?

The whole point of this was to be a very self contained project.  I just wanted something that I could travel with and play with people that don't usually play wargames (basically my father and nephews and maybe a neice or two and my brother).  Kings of War provides the very simple, easy to teach rules as well as unit basing.  10mm minis provides the portability and the ability to play on a small table. 

Going further than this raises a bunch of questions.  Certainly there is no need to add another army unless someone really takes to playing this with their crazy uncle...

As for the very real temptation to do more LotR inspired large battle stuff:  What rules would I use?  Since most games are pretty flexible these days, what kind of basing should I do?  Why doesn't Copplestone sculpt me some elves?  Why not 6mm?

Congratulation for the two armies completed! Well done.

[DFlynSqrl]

Yep, that is some nice basing!

Put a wash on the orc bases and then put on some tufts to try and hid any bases that were showing.
Then I took some closeups.  Probably should have put a 28mm figure there for scale.

Stay on target.  Stay on target....


Put some base coats on the command figs.  Also need to work on flags and pendants which I've never done before.  Any advice?
