I'm back after my break with my latest work for Middle-Earth SBG. What inspired this Aragorn model is a list I'm currently building for a Doubles Tournament at the start of next year, which I'm taking part in with friend of the Blog OT (you can hear from OT each week on our podcast,  The Hobby Breakfast Show ). We're theming our army around the flight of the Hobbits and Strider from The Nine- 400 points each, with my Fellowship Army having the Hobbits, Strider, Bill the Pony and Arwen (OT will be bringing Elrond and some Rivendell Knights). As part of this list, I wanted to give Aragorn a little more bite than his foot-version, and with Anduril yet to be re-forged, a horse was the only option. I decided that it would be more in keeping to have Aragorn leading a pony for this list though- and so I went on the hunt for a 3D printed pony in the right scale. Fortunately, I found one easily, sculpted by 'The Printing Goes Ever On' and printed for me by the Etsy sel...

  I'm starting a new Middle Earth project, which I'm going to be following along as I go on the blog (to plug my Middle Earth shaped hobby hole). This is very much a passion project- it's safe to say that the 600 point army that I'm building can be nothing other than one... The aim is to create an all Hero List themed around Bilbo's Birthday Party, from the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring. This means an all-Hero list, where with the exception of Gandalf, all the heroes are going to be Hobbits... Safe to say this won't be winning many matches anytime soon. Regardless, I really wanted to scratch an itch for building a Hobbit list. Around 12 years ago I built a Hobbit list, which I sold about 5 years ago. I had painted it to a standard I wasn't massively happy with, and I didn't fancy stripping all those Hobbits. When I was looking then at rebuilding a Shire list, I didn't fancy the horde army again. Large armies just don't fit with my hobby...
