Smoke Ring Miniatures

Mae Govannen!!! ... and welcome to this blog post dedicated to Théodred, son of Théoden! This miniature comes with the Battle Games in Middle-Earth issue number 65 and it's the last of the series (they've only released 65 numbers in my country), which gets me to have mixed feelings, but I'll surely dedicate a full post to this matter in the future. Who is Théodred? Prince of Rohan and only son and heir to king Théoden and queen Elfhild. Théodred sadly dies while his father's mind is under control of Saruman by the medium of Grima Wormtongue. Prince Théodred was the second marshal of Rohan and commanded the western hosts of his country, being slain by an orc in the first battle of the Fords of the Isen river. Grimbold, one of the commanders at the battle, boldly defended Théodred's body. By Théodred's death, Éomer became the heir to the throne of Rohan.

Eight months after my last post, here I am again, and I can assure everyone that the blog ain't dead yet!!!!! I'll start this one by explaining my absence, which is pretty simple: last semester of my graduation! And I'm finally a History graduate! ... And now I can spend a lot more time with the hobby! After a well earned vacation time, I've once again immersed myself on this hobby, without knowing for sure how much my painting skills have decreased. So, by last week, I have decided to open a  Middle Earth Minis 's Instagram account , which I kindly ask you to follow.

First of all, I had to test my undeniable loss of skill, a to do so, I've decided to paint a few Moria goblins, which are simple to paint, and yet really small sized. My main focus were those deta...

Hello friends! So, the aim of this 102nd post is to make a preview of the next 5 models that I'll be painting, but first, I wish to make a few considerations. As some of you know (those who have been following my blog), since the beginning of this blog's journey, I've been painting the the Lord of the Rings miniatures that have been released with the Battle Games in Middle-Earth 's issues, in 2002. It has been an amazing jump start for my painting skills and a real pleasure giving hobby. At the time I acquired the collection, I made a little research about the whole thing and found that, in my country (Portugal),  DeAgostini  only had published the first 65 numbers (out of 91). Sad, yes, but if it weren't for it, I'd never had entered the hobby "thing". This fact needed to be mentioned because... well, the next five models are to be the last models of the collection I bought! So... let's get to them: These guys are the nex...
