My brother recently gave me some "Der Kriegspielers Fantastiques" miniatures that I had painted 50 years ago! There were four "Citadel Guardsmen" and an orc. The orc I believe is by Heritage. They were battered and about to lose their weapons and ankles if they got bent one more time. Here they are in their "painted by an 11-year-old" glory:

Image

The orc was repaired and improved with some green stuff along with two of the Guardsmen. They are mounted to be used as Heroes in some future Triumph! army. But what to do with the two other Guardsmen with swords?

Image

I wanted to put all these figures to use, so it came to me the two extra swordsmen could be used as terrain pieces for my Lord of the Rings game. So here they are as the Argonath,the giant Pillars of the Kings that stood on either side of the river Anduin.

Image

They really should have one hand raised in a gesture of warning and an axe in the other hand according to the book, but close enough.

Black base coat, then drybrush dark brown, medium, brown, grey, light grey

Image

Hills made of a base of floor tile, carved insulation foam, a few rocks, and the ballast mix I use for basing.

Image

Pay no attention to those giant trees in the background!

Image

These are really quite small, but I am keeping all the terrain pieces and camps on a small footprint so that there is plenty of open space on the board for maneuver and combat.
