(Painting) Lord of the Rings, wharg riders and Radagast

  This entry is six wharg riders to go with Sharku from last week. These are, technically, Hunter Orcs, which are Hobbit armies not Isengard, but GW had a gap in production of the normal whargs so I had to buy these.

Six of these dudes.

They don't have bows but I'll run them that way most of the time. These are vicious looking, both whargs and riders.

The mounts are very dynamic and the riders are sculpted directly on at the legs.

These are also based for my Mordor army as that list has more options to take Wharg riders.

These whargs are much fiercer than the older sculpts. They almost look like werewolves.

This entry also includes Radagast the Brown. I have the old version. I guess I also have the new on but he's an abomination and I have no interest in painting him. This one, however, is one of my favorite miniatures of any line or game. It's just really well sculpted.

Radagast the Brown. Without bird poop and rabbits.

The sculpting on this is nice and sharp and deep. It took my several years to source him in metal.

The face and pose are just perfect on this guy.

This is from the same era as the non-precise plastics but this is fantastic sculpting.

I can't imagine that I'll ever take him in Lord of the Rings (MESBG) but he'll work great for a wizard in D&D, Pathfind, Five Leagues from the Borderlands or Frostgrave.
