LEGOLAS GREENLEAF AND GIMLI AND LEGOLAS FROM THE THREE HUNTERS. YEAR: 2014.

The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are the main topic of this week with three individual characters: Legolas Greenleaf and Gimli and Legolas from the Games Workshop pack "the Three Hunters".
These miniatures represent the contrast between the old and new designs. There are around 10 years of difference between the release of the Three Hunters and the new Legolas from the Hobbit, and obviously, technology advances. However, there are no more large Lord of the Rings armies or suplements anymore, and unfortunately Hobbit model sales are very low. Pity because they are nice, perfect for playing, collecting or building scenes.

LEGOLAS GREENLEAF

This is the favourite of our customer. It belongs to a serie of models that Games Workshop launched for the release of the Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug. You can see that the general design has been improved including a very dinamic pose.

The colour scheme is the same than the original of Games Workshop based on the films. Although simple, it is a great model.

GIMLI, SON OF GLOIN

Let's start the Three Hunters miniatures but first we want to place this Gimli in a concrete point of the Lord of the Rings story: after Merry and Pippin being captured for the Uruk-hais of Orthanc and Frodo and Sam started to travel by theirselves to Mordor, our heroes Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli decided to chase the orc band in order to rescue the captured hobbits.

Pose and clothes transmit movement and alert. Remembering his backstory, Gimli was chasing the Uruk band closer. Here he is ready to give a blow with his axe. We have also painted Gimli and Legolas with the original Games Workshop colors.

LÉGOLAS FROM THE THREE HUNTERS

This Legolas carries all his equipment packed except his elven bow, ready to shot at any moment. As his mate Gimli, his clothes and pose reflect perfectly the point of the story where they are.

Clothes are very functional, light and adapted to a great mobility with the bow. In addition, colors has been thought in order to offer some camouflage. If you pay attention, green color goes from black in the deeper folds from almost Goblin Green at his shoulders and hoodie.

The few golden details such us the quiver or daggers highlight over the rest of the model.

WOOD ELVES: GLADE GUARD UNIT. YEAR: 2014.

After a looong stop for summer holidays we come back with new energies. We deserved to rest for a bit!

To begin with this new period, we are going to present just a small part of a Wood Elves order that is in our workshop these days. However, it has a peculiarity: none of the models belong to a Games Workshop Wood Elves army. In this case, we have painted a Glade Guard unit using miniatures of Mirkwood Rangers from the Hobbit.
They trully fit vey well, and painted with the appropiate scheme of colours, are a very good option to have a nice skirmishers squad in you Wood Elves army.  
Anyway, the order is much more bigger, but unfortunately you will have to wait for the next posts to see the other minis.

For the moment, here we upload you the pics of this Glade Guard unit:

As you can see, taking a look of every model, they all have the same green and brown colours. But, each one has a different combination, so any of them have the same clothes.

Each base is different as well.

There are many women too.

Each model has a different pose, which gives the unit a great presence in the battefield.

We have tried to add variety by painting details in different ways (just pay attention at the hair of each one or the hoddies).

Very soon we will have something new to show you!
Until our next post!
