From Barks: Lobelia fights the orcs (Fantasy)(105 points)

I've painted Lobelia Sackville-Baggins as my fee for Lady Sarah's limousine. Lobelia is a grumpy and disliked hobbit but redeems herself by standing up to Sharkey's rogues with her "umberella" in The Scouring of the Shire, aged about 100.



She gets me to the Fantasy set, where I present a dozen armoured orcs. I have many more to paint, but wanted to get this batch down.




13x 28mm figures (65 points)

Fantasy set (20 points)

Lady Sarah's Limousine (20 points)


That doesn't look like a very fair fight, Barks. There are only twelve of those poor orcs, and she has an umbrella. You should probably crack on with some more batches of orcs to even the fight up a little. 

Nice work.

    An angry old woman with a brolly is a fearsome opponent. Great stuff Barks

    Who doesn't love Lobelia (in the end, anyways)? I know I love yours, Barks. The orcs are fine too!

    Gosh! Lobelia is one giant of a hobbit -- the Orcs don't stand a chance!

    Some good looking Orcses here, but Lobelia wins the beauty contest. Wonderful to see lots of Lotr goodness.

      There really should be a LotR side duel.

    Great orcs, but I love your Lobelia, Barks. Such a great character figure. Now, I'm going to check to make sure we have all our spoons in the cupboard.

      I don't think anyone would describe her as a shrinking violet...

    Lovely work, Barks. Who doesn't love a hobbit with an umbrella taking on the forces of the Shadow? But still a fair fight, for sure!!
