Smoke Ring Miniatures

Mae govannen, mellon nín! Another post about how to paint a miniature dwarf from Thorin's Company, and this time it's Bifur!

About the miniature, it was a very enjoyable painting session.

Bifur went on the Quest for Erebor which, in 2941 of the Third Age, resulted in the death of Smaug the Dragon and the re-establishment of the Dwarf-kingdom under the Mountain.

Mae govannen, mellon nín! Another post about how to paint a miniature dwarf from Thorin's Company, and this time it's Kíli! Despite the absence of a beard, this miniature provided me a very joyful painting session, on which I particularly enjoyed playing with the different shades of blue and grey. Assembled and unprimed miniature of Kíli. Who is Kíli? " Dwarf of Thorin and Company. Kíli embarked on the Quest of Lonely Mountain in 3019 of the Third Age, which resulted in the death of Smaug the Dragon and the re-establishment of the Dwarf-kingdom under the Mountain. As the son of Thorin's sister, Dís, Kíli was fiercely loyal to his uncle. Both Kíli and his brother Fíli were killed in the Battle of Five Armies while defending Thorin.
