Converting Spectres, Reimagining the Dead - The Angmar Project

[@radsterwarrior7153]

Coming back to your earlier videos for some inspiration of my own, and after watching this particular one I shall forever refer to 2019 as “The Dark Year”

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Lol, not like anything else has changed since then :P may just label all of this the new "dark ages" :P

[@BeastnBrushes]

I'm just loving the whole visual narrative you do on this videos. Thanks for sharing :D

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks so much! And yah I'm loving how this army is coming together

[@elilentiart8025]

These are fantastic! Really excited to see what other projects you have in store for 2021 :)

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks! And I've got several in the pipeline :P

[@PP-th4ft]

Really nice results on these guys!

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thank man! Was fun to try out a really gritty/grimdark style, while still trying to incorporate some more colour into it!

[@MichaelWCannon]

Well done, great ideas.

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks!

If you're looking for naked minis I've been eyeing up Ragnarok Miniatures, they've got naked humans, dwarves and goblins. But yeah, Goya has been one of my favourite artists since I was a kid, his later work is so surreal. I've decided to go with the idea that the bodies had to be defiled to make them into spectres. So I've given a couple animal skulls instead of ordinary heads and replacing limbs and such

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Lol! Not sure I'm ready to go full body horror with straight up nudes yet but will definitely keep them in mind! And that's a wild idea, very "haunted swamp" feeling, very aso28

[@HogandDice]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies oh, I may have misunderstood something you said in the video, I thought you wanted some you could add clothes to, that's my plan anyway. Thanks! I think it's coming along nicely

[@Dimanti88]

I really enjoy watching your channel, mainly because I'm working on roughly the same armies. Gave me a lot of cool ideas.

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Awesome! Love to hear that the malice of the witch king is spreading :P would love to see your work!

[@Dimanti88]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies I made a pretty cool orc wearing some fashionable Gondor Amour, maybe a cool idea for your army to do something similar. Maybe an Angmar orc using scraps of elf armour.

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Could be very cool! One of my long term plans is to do up a custom/proxy heavy arnor force to face off with them, so maybe once I've settled on a look for them that would be a good one!

[@Dimanti88]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies So something simular to the Black guard of Barad-Dur only for Angmar?

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

@@Dimanti88 Thank would be very cool!

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

This would also work great for undead warriors in a Warhammer Vampire Counts army. They look a bit like dead imperials.

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Absolutely! Man... so tempted by fantasy and aos... just can never commit to anything :P

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Love the use of 3rd party kits for lotr. They look fantastic, 2spooky5me. I really need to get my finger out and start my next project!

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks man! And yah i love having lots of different kits on hand as it's just so much kore freeing yah being stuck to only gw stuff!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies Gives you so many more options. Lots of GW purists out there need converting!

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Absolutely. I tried to include at least 1 gw piece on each model so i can argue my way into tournaments with them :P but otherwise i just went with anything that feels good! Also, i really like uaing perry minis since they're the same sculptors as a lot of the original lotr range so it all ties in!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies Haha thats a brilliant Idea. Perry minis are fantastic, I have never had an issue with their bits being out of scale with lotr.

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

@@jmaccsarmiesofArda Yah they're great. Sometime I find them a bit small compared to some of the newer stuff from the range... but honestly the early gw plastics do that too :P Scale creep is total a thing!

[@karelalberghs8756]

Wow, they are amazing. I love the furs and helmets on the skulls. How did you do those?

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks! The skulls with helmets just had a bit cut off them and then replaced with the helmets (which I cut the preexiting heads off of) and the fur bits are static grass like I did on my orcs.

[@karelalberghs8756]

Wow the fur is very creative. Thanks!

[@mrogface]

Ungor shields would look good on these guys

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Absolutely, alot of the beastmen stuff would work really good in both my angmar and mordor stuff... just more kits to the list :P

[@mrogface]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies Always more kits to buy 😅

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

@@mrogface I've definitely fallen down the rabbit whole of buying kits specifically for kitbashing... which has been a dangerous thing :P

[@mrogface]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies yea very, i only just started press molding stuff too. I'm currently making a lizardman blood bowl team for a friend and i ended up buying 3 extra boxes for it 🤣

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

@@mrogface lol! Love it

[@Helo62819]

nice

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks!

Great Video, the spectres came better than the GW oficial Models!! I enjoy your content so don't take this personally. In my opinion asking for patreon money when the channel doesn't make money from ad revenue is a bit sketchy. The channel is growing but it requires 1000 subs to start making ad money. I think it's a little unfair to ask money from the viewers whilst the channel isn't making any. It's just my personal opinion though, I hope the channel really grows and you actually get the subscribers the channel deserves. But as of late I think it's to soon to ask for patreon money. Your Subscriber Fred

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

Thanks man! And yah no i don't expect anything. I created a patreon a couple years back actually when i was just thinking stuff up, and since i had it already and people were asking about it I activated it for the channel. Its just been great to have as many people watching as I do!

[@fredkuegur6009]

@@AndurzTalksHobbies Understandable, I hope the channel grows bigger and bigger, I will keep on sharing!!
