Well, I started to get my hands on Lord of the rings and The Hobbit miniatures, I started to collect this range of miniatures mainly for my kids, they love to play the Lego The Hobbit and Lego Lotr game and this is my way to get them in to the hobby.
These Mirkwood Ranger Captains are from the Hobbit range and are really nice models and I will get the Mirkwood Ranger box only for how good the miniatures look. I will get a 500 point Mirkwood force going to begin with.
Regarding the painting I tried, and I mean try to mute down the colours, I usually use bright clear colours when I paint 40K but wit these I want to have a more sober tone. The female captain i went to far and the colours came out too bright.
