This was a tasking batch paint. Using my Mirkwood Elf tutorial I batch painted the remaining nine elves and the two Finecast Captains in one go. It took a while but I’m pleased these are finally finished and off my desk. More photographs after the jump.
The above shot shows all the plastic Mirkwood Elves from the box set. I found it odd you only got 10 models when most box sets have a full twelve model war band.
I also received the Mirkwood Ranger Captains for Christmas as a secret Santa present that my local Games Workshop was hosting. Interestingly you get two models in the clamshell. Neither really look like Captains. In the picture above the Captain is the fourth from the left.
This female Captain (third from the left) is leading her small warband of five elves.
I’m not particularly proud of the faces of these Captains. They’re just soo small and I was rushing them to get them finished. They’re fine for tabletop.
That’s it for my adventures in Middle-Earth at the moment. I might return to this side of the Hobby in a few months. Thanks for following my progress, it’s been a blast the past couple of months.
What PDF are their rules in? I can't find it anywhere!

Thanks so much for these tutorials Garfy, got me back into it after a 15 year hiatus!
Beautifully done, thanks for sharing. Hope to see more Hobbit/LOTR from you…
They look great! You might be able to improve the faces with a thin wash. It'll blend the colours a bit and make the highlights a little bit less extreme. (extreme highlights/ shading on female faces usually makes them look a bit.. ugly)
Such a shame to hear you are not keeping up with the Hobbit models. Your tutorials have really got me back into it, I hope by the time I have done a few I will know what I am doing to do some blind.
Thanks for all!
These are really good. You're such a technical painter I really think you could work for 'Eavy metal. But you said it, the faces need work. Maybe one day you can come back to them.
Your posts really make me want these minis, but I've purchased LOTR minis before; they are just too small for my liking.
