BOSS' LOTR: THE TOMBS OF THE SERPANT HOARD CULT PART 1


BLACK HARAD... is coming.


These wonderful models will be printed to perfection by my main 3DPman BIG Mike!
🍷🧐🎩


I love adding these creatures from The Wilderlings of Dark (BLACK) Harad to my expanded LOTR Miniatures game.. They are badass and terribly beautiful! These are all elite characters and units of course, just because I want more to play with in my M-E SBG and  I am making King Suladan's SNAKE KULT.





More NEW UNITS and ALTERNATE MODEL Goodness coming soon...

COLLECTION DIARY: JULY 2023


I am very happy with my Harad terrain thus far! I am planning an entire table in this Classic Arabian-Moroccan style. There are more options for upgrading the Red Port Tower and  the Temple-fort to heavily armed fortified strong points. I will purchase these goodies next month Of course. I also have all sorts of other little details planned such a shipwreck, and troop and cavalry camping areas.

BOSS' LOTR: HARADRIM 🐍💀🦂🖤🔥 RED PORT - WIP TOWER & TEMPLE


The Great Tower and Temple Fort are done now. These are the primary buildings for my scaled down Haradrim equivalent to Umbar. I am very happy with these excellent prints from my Nerd Friend Big Mike at Late Night Alchemy! I have a lot more to do yet on this huge game table project, but it is coming along just fine.

BOSS' LOTR: HARADRIM 🐍💀🦂🖤🔥 RED PORT - WIP PRINT

The Printing has begun for my Special Harad Terrain collections! 🤗 What do you think my LOTR Brothers, is it going to be cool? She is BIG. For scale that cool little shipwreck is six inches wide at the center and five inches wide at her stern which is closest to the actual tower model. This Great Tower is the primary building for my scaled down Haradrim equivalent to Umbar .

BOSS' LOTR: MY HARAD ART 🐍💀🦂🖤🔥 HARADRIM PART 2

The HARADRIM are very dear and dark to me and I am happy to finally get working on full paintings for them in the coming months. I am able to keep my fun work going based on my mood. I have been in DARK mode recently, and over the last couple of weeks gotten enough art done to publish some of my Haradrim Art.

THE RED PORT is one of my main locations in the eastern coastal territories of what I have rightly dubbed as Black Harad. This Great Tower is basically my scaled down Haradrim equivalent to Umbar. I will go into more detail when I write the full Watch Tower article. This article is about the new art that I am doing for my Special Harad collections.

The following images demonstrate my process for painting the actual models that I am collecting for my special Good and Evil Harad armies. I am doing this work because it is very FUN and helps me decide exactly how these beautiful figures will look when they are completed. I have wanted to do some art for my expanded Middle-earth Universe for a while and this is the best way to get it done.



I have half a mind to go back and replace that cute tiny Naz from this first Angmar  painting I did for my beloved LOTR collection. I might just leave it as is too... just because it shows my little improvements as I make more of this crazy Digital Art.


The B&W toned images are the initial step for me when doing full color paintings. Think of the Zenithal Prime stage in miniature painting... it is more or less the same for me when designing the look of my digital paintings.


I am planning an entire table in this style. There are more versions of the basic Red Port Tower and more buildings like the Temple-fort and a shipwreck. Of course I have all sorts of other little details planned such as tents, camping gear, and beast of burden too.

HASSAN is one of my Great Heroes in what I have rightly dubbed as Black Harad. This Great Mountain Wilderling is basically my Eastern equivalent to Lurtz. I will go into more detail when I write his full article. This article is about the new art that I am doing for my Special Harad collections.

BOSS' LOTR: ALTERNATE HARAD 🐍 MAHUD JUNGEL WARBAND

 

I found even more wonderful new alternate miniatures for my ME-SBG this month! I love most of the official GW HARAD 🐍 🐘🦂🦏 miniatures, but in the case of GW's Far Harad Mahud miniatures I need all new models. Look at this glorious and actually badass MAHUD JUNGLE WARBAND!

The idea for my answer to owning some cool thematic allied TROLLS in this army continues where I started with the wonderful Rhino-Folk models! Now I an rolling with a badass MAHUD JUNGLE GIANT, which looks just like the rest of the warband and is terribly beautiful!

BOSS' LOTR: WOODWOSE ELITE SCOUTS HARAD 🐍 & ROHAN 🐎

I found even more wonderful new alternate miniatures for my ME-SBG this week! I have been looking for cool stuff to add to the collection a lot because I am in that crazy planning-buying stage... and it is always fun for me. I love most of the official GW HARAD 🐍 🐘🦂🦏 and ROHAN 🐎🏹⚡ miniatures, but I still want some better options for some of the Heroes and Elite units. Look at these glorious MAHUD JUNGEL and ROHAN WOODWOSE! 💞


The idea for adding some alternate and deeply thematic ELITE Scouts to these wonderful armies has been in my mind since I began to collect this cool game.

BOSS' LOTR: ALTERNATE HARAD 🐍 MAHUD JUNGEL RAKSHAKIN

 I found even more wonderful new alternate miniatures for my ME-SBG this week! I love most of the official GW HARAD 🐍 miniatures, but I still want some better options for some of the Heroes and Elite units. Look at the glorious MAHUD JUNGEL RAKSHAKIN🐅🌴🐯

The idea for my answer to owning some cool thematic Mahûd Raiders in this army
came from finding these wonderful Catt-Folk models! Now for me they are The Ferocious RAKSHAKIN KLANARS 🐅⚡🐾

I love these beautiful and terrifying creatures. The Raksha are badass and IMO a thousand times better in every way than the wacky camel cavalry 🐪 GW offers... just no! Before some of you blast me for Camal-Hate: I am getting some great looking camels for my Harad Caravan.

I found more wonderful new alternate miniatures for my ME-SBG this week! I love most of the official GW HARAD 🐍 🐘🦂🦏 miniatures, but I still needed some better options for the Elite units. Look at this glorious Rhino 🦏 and Assassin 🐱‍👤! The Half Trolls are simply beautiful and terrible! 🤗🛒💞 I am silly-happy.



I just ordered last night and be dammed if the PROXYWARS gang don't have my little cool-ass Desert Demons in the mail already! 📪🤗⚡

BOSS' LOTR: ALTERNATE ARTILLERY FOR MORDOR 💀 GONDOR ✨ & ROHAN 🐴


I found most of my Artillery models for MORDOR 💀 GONDOR ✨ and ROHAN 🐴 this week and just purchased seven of these cool war machines last night! 🤗🛒💞 I am silly-happy.

I am starting this collection with a big reliable Catapult for Mordor. I will get some wheels and plenty of creepy bits to evil it up good before it rolls onto the battlefield. For Gondor and Rohan I will be using one Trebuchet supported by two Ballistae. I feel like I need to have these versatile artillery batteries for both armies because of the monsters they are going to battle. I can reorganize these units as needed of course. I will be adding a few bits to these weapons to bring them more firmly into Middle-earth along with their Mordor counterpart.

I am very happy that I found some cool alternate artillery models that I actually like much better than the overpriced and IMO very bland GW equivalents. I have to chuckle at the fact I just purchased 1 Catapult, 4 Ballistae, 2 Trebuchet, and a cute little Pumpkin Patch Garden (that all look fantastic) for just $45 delivered. I still need to get some crew models of course, but that is no big deal.

BOSS' LOTR: ANGMAR BLACK ORCS


I have a lot of cool and appropriately creepy ideas for my ANGMAR BLACK ORCS. These concepts and models are right out of REAL TOLKIEN, and will replace most of the core GW Orc troops. I hate the frumpy orc models that GW keeps allowing to linger 20 years past their time. It is glaringly obvious to most of us non-historical gamers that the fantastic modern  AOS models are based directly off the LOTR books and WETA Middle-Earth concepts. All of this beckons me do the right thing by my LOTR collection.


The GW Isengard army is fine. I am only adding a few extras to it, but more on that later.
It is worth looking at WETA on some of the better art sites. You will see many critters that look like GW AOS models and things that are based on some of the deep and frankly obscure Tolkien concept notes in his letters. Grandfather talks about things that he wanted to do with all of the factions, but just could not figure out how to add them into the text of the actual stories... 


ANGMAR IS MY FAVORITE EVIL ARMY AND THE FIRST 1/4 OF 2023 IS IT'S BLACK HOUR!

BOSS' LOTR: ANGMAR ORCS (Contrast Paint: Orruk Kruleboyz)

I just found this good painting channel full of AOS painting demo videos for many of the models that I am using for my LOTR Games! These are helpful since I have not dived deeply into the whole Contrast Painting jungle just yet... but I'm about to!
