Hello!
Today another entry from the world of The Lord of the Rings!
This is because this month I started rereading J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy. And my inspirations (and unfinished fantasy projects) are screaming:
'Paint us! We've been waiting for so many years!'
With this and a haunting cry, I invite you to read a post about Dead Marsh Spectres.
I gave two GW models I've painted before a refresh, and the third specter is a 3D model from Davale Games.
IMO It fits very well 😏
In The Lord of the Rings, in the volume 'The Two Towers', we read about these ghostly images of soldiers who died during the war of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men against Sauron.
The bodies lying in the marshes are victims of the Battle of Dagorlad, which took place at the end of the Second Age.
The marshes were formed in areas where bloody fighting took place.
Frodo Baggins, guided by Gollum, saw them in the water as "dead faces"—pale, ghostly images that glowed beneath the surface.
Gollum warned the hobbit not to look into the marshes or touch the dead, claiming that "the dead must not be touched."
Lovely work Michal and they look suitably dead. I must reread the trilogy again as it has been ten years since my second reading.
ReplyDeleteThey look great Michal, really well done, I too must re-read the trilogy again, it's been a long time since I did.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Michal, they look very dead and straight out of the marshes.
ReplyDeletePiękna robota Michał. Pasują im też takie zimne śnieżne podstawki.
