Well had to take a break for my first commission! Just table top qaulity (not that I do better) but these LOTR minis were cool! They are terribly small and less detailed than modern GW.. are these sculpts how 2000's 40k were? imgur.com/a/9NtKkKF

Just a guess but I think they are more 90's.

They seem in a scale much more similiar to the D&D stuff wizzkids make..
Makes me wish I had some more experience with the old stuff.
I knew I was in trouble when I saw some GW painted material of them... And wasn't blown away by the evvy metal teams pics (I usually am! )
But still fun. Honored they like them 😃

The only reason I thought maybe 2000 is because they look very "Peter Jackson" but I might be projecting.

I have some some Citadel LoTR somewhere that I acquired in the mid-80's. They've produced versions at different times. Mine were scaled to 25mm and yours look to be that size. The difference from 25 to 28 doesn't sound like much but the results in the amount of detail you can achieve are significant.

They came glued and primed.. but they are heavy, so I wonder if they are metal?
The Orc weapon has some flex in it so perhaps the arms are plastic and the body's metal?

Heavy means metal. As Citadel moved forward they began doing head, torso, and arms cast as one piece in metal with arms, weapons, shields, etc rendered in plastic. When the change to 28mm came, that pretty much ended the metal castings from GW.

Fantastic! So I get to say I've painted a metal mini!!!
I always wanted the 2nd edition space marines .. But expensive army's and messy paints were a no no for young Chris lol

Coming across a big dragon soon and it's going to be nice to work on something bigger... Not LOTR though... Think it's a Wizkids

Plugged away at a tremendous about of Tyranids.. I'd say the Leviathan nids are all 3 colours minimum and overall completion is probably 75%
Also finished the last of my little LOTR commissions today.
Pics soon
