Soldiers and Captains of Gondor

I know that the colors of Minas Tirith are sable and silver, but I want to save black for the bad guys as much as possible. I went with blue as an alternate. The face-framing parts of the helmets looked to me like rays of the sun radiating out, so I did those in gold (Minas Tirith was once the Tower of the Sun, after all).

Warriors:

Archers:

Pikes:

All 6 squads:

A Captain and Banner Bearer:

According to my latest tally, I have 356 LotR minis, with 98 fully painted. A good start, but I still have a ways to go.

First Ruins pieces


Inspired by a step-by step online tutorial which I now can't locate, I tried my hand at my very first ruined buildings. Eventually I will have enough of these to coalesce into a larger map.
