Baldur the White

After reading the story of Baldurs return to the world in the domination book I was instantly struck with the similarity to the return of Gandalf the white in the Lord of the Rings. I decided that I would like to paint up eBaldur with a white colour scheme. This would give me the chance to see if I can use the techniques I have been using a lot recently to paint green robes to paint effective white robes.  I used to really struggle to paint white robes in my black templars army (my first army) and it was partly this that made me want to try again.

The base looks a little weird in pictures due to the angle of the log - this looks quite good in person when you can turn the model around etc. I really wanted to give him an 'epic' base as the new epic casters do not have the same board presence as the old ones which came with pre-supplied 'epic' bases.

Now I have pBaldur and eBaldur painted perhaps I need to get some wolds painted up....

Heres a work in progress Megalith (as you cant really have Balder without his favourite pile of wold rocks).

P.S. Now we know why they call him 'Balder'.

More Painting

Just another quick update with the latest models I have painted for my Circle Orboros army.


My terrible habbit of painting more casters than infantry continued in early January and I was able to very quickly paint up Baldur the Stonecleaver. He is not my best work but was enjoyable to and quick to paint.

After a giving myself a stern talking to regarding my lack of painted infantry I decided to paint up the unit of druids. I feel that the good use of these guys may be very important to playing circle orboros and it is about time I tried to work them into some lists. They are a bit more complicated to use with each model having a choice of defensive, offensive and healing abilities to use each turn.

I was pleased with the way they came out - I am enjoying painting the green robes on models at the moment and wanted to continue to work on improving my 'faces and bases'.
