Weekend painting of a fantasy miniature

Most of this weekend’s free time has been directed towards constructing and painting a Tree Lord kit from Games Workshop. It is a rather nice model and large model which took a while to build. It has lots of detail and is quite an intricate model with some 30 odd pieces. The painting was for the most part a combination of washes and dry brushing.

The model stands some 14cm tall (5 inches approx.). Here with other models for scale.

I also rebased a couple of my existing Orc models, a leader and flag bearer.

This week I will be returning to the WW1 Palestine campaign.

  1. Nice work on the Ent Peter- at 30 Parts it certainly is a clever model.

  4. Some old classics there. I have a couple old Fantasy starter sets I will be using for simple skirmish games and paint-and-takes, this definitely whets my appetite.

    1. The Orc leader is an old model. I do like to old Warhammer orcs. I look forward to reading your blog posts as you begin your skirmish forces and games.

  5. The Tree Lord looks really cool. It reminds of the yew tree in "
    A Monster Calls."
