You get eight in the box, two lots of four poses and I´ve painted up only one...the reasons will become clear.

The catapult is from one of those "Bag-O-Kniggits". I´ve replaced the end of the throwing arm, added some cogs from a broken wind up toy and replaced the wheels.
*Of the other three. poses? Well, it Looks as if the mold has "slipped" and slipped quite badly, 1-2mm´s. I´m used to removing mold lines, IMHO, it´s part of the hobby but in this case, the amount of slippage meant they were way beyond saving. C'est la vie.
Hopefully this was in only a few sets and I was unlucky as I really like the Alliance Fantasy Range.
I´ll chalk it up to bad luck on my part and hopefully I can get hold of a complete set later on.
But what were they up too?
It Looks like two are the ones who were opening the Black Gate in the LotR´s film "The two Towers" but they could equally be employed to push/pull siege weapons like a seige Tower.
The 4th pose Looks very much like his painted Counterpart and similar looking ones are seen loading catapults in the LotR´s film "Return of the King"
He could be saved with a lot of snipping but TBH, I haven´t the time
Oumch Greet Kalfgh Tirgrit!!

ReplyDeletebut nice work on the LOTR troll. it reminds me that I have lots of unpainted LoTR minis myself stashed away somewhere...
Pity about the quality of the trolls. The catapult looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work....as always.
ReplyDeleteA shame but the painted one and the catapult looks the business.
