This is Rhys' entry for this week. He's wrapping up Thorin's Company and has finally finished his Mantic Games Abyssal Dwarf Hellfane. We're not sure what to point this thing out as, so we'll re-visit that after the jump.
First off though, is the last Dwarfs of Thorin's Company.
 |
| This is Thorin, and three other dwarfs whose names I can't remember and don't want to look up. |
 |
| I've heard a story that even Tolkien couldn't really tell them apart. I choose to believe that story. |
 |
| The sling shot is a bit silly. |
 |
| Three more dwarfs. The one on the left as sympathetic to Bilbo. That gives him more personality than most of them. |
 |
| They have a wide range of weapons. In the old rules that made play difficult. |
 |
| In the new rules most of the rules for special weapons are gone. That is nice because it speeds play and simplifies the turn. |
 |
| And here is the entire group. Gandalf, Bilbo, Thorn, Fili and Kili in the front. Dwarfs with various colored hoods in the back. And Gloin and Dwalin. |
Next up is the Hellfane. This was a Christmas present and is a very large chunk of resin. Several large chunks actually; assembly is an Ikea level task.
 |
| I'm exceedingly proud of him for this paint job. He wanted to do lava on the base so I taught him about ripped up cork and he took it from there. |
 |
| The three dwarfs on the top were painted separately and glued in at the end. |
 |
| The engine at the back is very delicate and breakable. |
 |
| We have no idea how this thing will play yet, but he REALLY wants to try it out. |
 |
| The howdah with the big-bad and his two flunkies. |
For score that's seven 28mm figures = 35 points
I am offering up a score of 35 for the Helfane as well. 15 for the three dwarfs and counting the beast as a vehicle for 20.
If that works out then this is a total of 70 points.

Wow!
Great to see the whole of Thorins Company, they look ready for some adventuring!
Im not really sure what a Hellfane is exactly - but looks big, stompy and scary!I like the bronze of the howdah and what a cool use of cork bits for lava!
7 x 28mm = 35
helfane dwarves 3x = 15
Beast 20
Another 70 points for you, way to go Rhys!
Loving that hellfane Rhys
ReplyDeleteThat Hellfane is quite a beast! Very well done
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Hellfane looks scary to paint...
ReplyDeleteExcellent work here and the lava looks super effective
ReplyDeleteTerrific work Rhys! That Hellfane is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteHope the Hellfane plays as impressive as it looks. Nice painting.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, that hellfane is a chunk of resin and a half and you’ve done a great job on it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work and an impressive beast.
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing Thorin's company, and that's a real centrepiece model!
ReplyDeleteThe hellfane looks boss.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he has gone together much better than an Ikea item and he is beautifully painted.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome to see the entire company of Thorin complete Rhys, well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Rhys! Thorin's company is lovely, but as others have already noted, the Hellfane is also tremendous! And a tremendous pile of resin too!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Rhys! Painting a whole company in one go is no small task and you've done a great job. Nice work :-)
