Castellan of the Ring

The "Fall of the Necromancer" expansion from autumn 2021, saw four new LL releases. Two of them were hero-only LLs. One was the infamous "Vanquishers of the  Necromancer" - mixing up the tournament scene and stirring up quite a turmoil and discussions about how far a LL should go and if this is not the complete opposite of what the game stands for. While the other LLs (Rangers of Mirkwood and Pits of Dol Guldur) were frequently covered and discussed in podcasts, blogs, YT videos etc, the fourth one was notably absent from all this  or received only a fraction of the time- The Rise of the Necromancer LL. This one was actually the only LL and the only thing of the expansion I was interested in. I had my eyes already set on a Dol Guldur hero-only army for quite some time. And now I received the perfect LL for my needs.  I want to share with you my experience with this force and what I think about it in detail. Let me take you on a journey to the dark paths of Dol Guldu...

It is quite some time ago since I last posted something about my Dol Guldur project. In fact it is already finished since quite some time. I simply did not mange to find time to do the photographs. Or rather learn how to do better pictures^^ But I finally did and want to share the results with you. In following you can see my Rise of the Necromancer LL army - all Nazgul, the Necromancer and three Castellans. Quite soon I will also share my review of this army, on wh ich I worked in parallell. The Castellan keeps his watch and happy hobbying until the next time =) The Necromancer The Nazgul of Dol Guldur Castellans of Dol Guldur Group pictures

It is some time ago I posted the last update on my Dol Guldur project. Slow painting progress, problems with finding good lighting for taking pictures etc all contributed to that. But now I finished the current batch of miniatures and was able to make some decent pictures. I took some tries but I was able to realize the color scheme I aimed for. The green for the clothes is the same on all of them. The Nazgul  and Castellans have blue/gold weapon handles and blades of metal with Biel-Tan green and Nuln Oil washes.  The armour on the Castellans and the Necromancer uses the same approach + dry brushing and adding highlights. The armour on the Nazgul is Nuln Oil with brown tones. Three Nazgul are still missing and I will try to paint them in one batch.  I am really happy with the results and they already have proven their prowess in battle ;) The Castellan keeps his watch and happy hobbying until the next time =)
