Moria Revisited

With the progress on my prowlers coming along nicely (I'll have new pics up soon) I have decided to give a little tlc to my Moria army. Most of these figures have been in my army since first edition, and they show the scars of years of battle. I am going to repaint the army as well as sculpt new bases for a lot of the figures. I have started with one of the most important pieces of the army, the Moria Goblin Drum.

I am almost finished with the bases, and will be repainting the figures soon. I used the resin skull pieces from a Warhammer Hero basing kit, Apoxie Sculpt, a few pieces of slate, and fine slate rubble to create the bases. The drum sits on a base covered with skulls and the drummers have bone piles on their bases. The resin bone piles have a orc skull on them that is rather large and out of place on a Lord of the Rings base. I filed the skull down and plan to sculpt it into a cave troll skull.

Well Met, Thorhak

Dratch's Workshop welcomes Thorhak Oakenshield to the team. Thorhak is a good friend of mine, we have been pushing these toy soldiers for a long time now. He is a book when it comes to LOTR history and he can hold his own on the battle field. I have had the honor of playing along side him at Adepticon '07 and '08, and against him in countless battles. Thorhak, this Bud's for you man, have fun in the shop.

WIP: Goblin Prowler

Whats On The Bench?

Tonight I am paying some much needed attention to my old Saruman figure. He is beaten and worn from years of play and the time has come to repaint him. I decided not to strip the old paint off, I just washed the figure and started blending. In this photo I have blended his robes on the left side, I will be updating this web album as I go.
