Elves, Orcs, Bats and a Ranger

This past November to December was a wash-out for painting minis.  I was able to get some post-Yule painting time in and finished these few minis:

Celeborn - Mithril Miniatures

Painting Celeborn was an easy task, as I followed some on-line examples


Glorfindel - Mithril Miniatures, Bat Swarm - Reaper Miniatures
 Glorfindel was part of a two-piece package, battling a ring wraith.  The pack included a painting guide, which I mostly followed. I'm not mad about the Reaper bats, but they were inexpensive and easy enough to paint.  I might go back over them with a light tan highlight.

Ranger and Great Goblin - Mithril Miniatures
Rangers are always fun, at least you know the cloak will be green. Great Goblin has been sitting on my painting table for a year, partially finished. It was nice to finally knock him out of the queue.

Wood Elf Maiden - Mithril Miniatures
Wood Elf Maiden had to be repaired, as I've had this mini for two decades.  She broke off at the ankles, which was an easy fix. I might paint some leaf anklets to further mask the join.  The result was better than I expected - the picture doesn't do her justice.

These minis are all part of a Mirkwood/Dol Guldur Knights and Magick scenario I'm working on.  Still have a batch of Lothlorien elves to paint. Til' next time - Namarie -
