I find myself with a day of nothing to do and a ton of figures lying about. Sooooo....I'm going to do an old-fashion Iron Man Paintathon (12-16hrs). Hopefully this will make a serious dent in my Dwarven LoTR collection as well as get me ready for a 1000pt WoTR game(s).

My list:
Balin
Shield 4c +Cpt +Banner +Horn Blower
Shield 3c +Shld Bearer
Archer 3c
Kazad Guard 3c
I.G. 2c
Vault Wardens 2c

Total Figures: 149
Movement Trays: 17
Grand Total: 166

3c of shield and 2c of V.Wardens are not primed and a few of the models are in various stages of painting, but none are finished. If I get around to them I have left over: 1c of shields, 4c +6 of Archers, 6c of 2hd'ers, 4c Ranger w/Bow, 3c Ranger w/2hd, and 3c Ranger w/T.Axes (all in boxes and on sprues).

Hero's that I am hoping to "take-breaks" on are: Aragorn, Gimili, Legolas, The Three Hunters, Halbarad, Armoured Pippin, Eowyn, 7 Axemen of Lossarnach, Dwarven Captain, Dwarven Banner Bearer, 2 Dwarven Kings and a ballista and 4 crew members.

I was going to post all the beginning pictures of this project, but found I was taking to much time away from starting. So, I have decided to wait till after I am done to post the beginning shots, (hopefully) middle shots, and the end results.

If this works, hopefully I will follow it up with another Iron Man of Army of the Dead, Easterlings, and/or Moria.

So without further delay, I will start in t-minus 30minutes (Starting at noon EST - 11/04/11)

Calling it. :sad: I completed the I.G., K.G., 2c. of Shields and that was rushing at the tail-end of my allotted time.

Was going strong in the beginning, then the phone began to ring...and the day flew by...ah well. There is always next friday :-D

I'll post pics later on, once my eyesight returns to normal :?

I left a larger part of the hilt from the sword than I would normally have, just to show that you could leave it there to represent the handle for the shield.

You can see, its pretty simple conversion. For the spear shaft I used a paperclip, and attached the elven blade to it. The 1st Alliance Elves spear-wielders have a elven blade on the end of their spears, like a naginata.

I have some that are spear/bow-elfs, but their pics are in a detached hard-drive with my bf. For some I simply drilled a hole between their cloak/back and took a small rod and shaped the top/upper portion of the bow and placed it in the hole. Gives the illusion the rest of the bow is under their cloaks. For the quiver I made a "tube" out of greenstuff and stuck converted bobby pins (from a fabric store) in it, also I simply stuck some in the "ground" around the elf...even some have no quiver/arrows - just a bow to represent they are Spear-Bow-Elves.
