That brings back memories. ALso have two painted LOTR trolls in my collection from GW and a bunch (like 300 or more) of other LOTR miniatures i bought like 10 to 15 years ago when GW Miniatures were still affordable... Also good paintjob. The Cave trolls look like in the movie!

Very cool army!

Thanks for the kind words!

 

It is pretty surprising how expensive GW miniatures have gotten. Most of our collection are second hand from EBay. It is really hard for me to justify paying full GW retail when there are so many excellent, less expensive options to use as proxies given my wife and I do not play at a GW Game Store.

I read in a Youtube discussion last week the comment of a police officer saying that gw literally takes the street price of Heroin for every gramm of plastic. That has reinforced my belief to not buy a lot of gw stuff any more. And why should i? Reapee bones, northstar and victrix take care of my needs in a much more wallett friendly way. 

 

Btw are the soldiers on the front/lefft uruk hai? Can't properly see it...

There are more photos and information on my blog entry but those are Ridgeback Miniatures Gundabad Orcs. Ridgeback is a company I found on Facebook back when I used to use that platform. I do not think the person behind Ridgeback makes much of the LOTR inspired minis any more but I could be wrong as I am no longer on Facebook.
