Steve: I've been considering collecting a force for The Lord of The Rings game for a while now. What I really loved about the game was the idea that all of the models had complete freedom to move about independently, making all of the warriors on the table into characters of a sort.

As with any game, the rules alone didn't make me take the plunge and start gaming. What I always wait for is an army that really grips me. I've always had a fascination with knights, fighting against impossible odds, battered and bruised, so when I saw The Two Towers film and the armoured defenders of Osgiliath, I knew I had my army.

Well, I finally got my hands on the new Warriors of Gondor. The thing that struck me most strongly about The Lord of The Rings game was that the all of the models could act as individuals, so I decided to treat them that way when I painted them. I would forgo my normal batch-painting habits and approach each model one at a time. Such an approach should help to give all the models a more unique appearance.
