@@windrushwargamers2745 Honestly: atm I'm procrastinating hard. Still haven't finished painting Gothmog 😅 I have an idea floating around in my head, which maybe is suitable for you as well. I thought about making the Celebrimbor-banner, Sauron used when attacking the Grey Havens.

[@windrushwargamers2745]

@@Old_Shatterhans Nothing wrong with procrastination, got to let inspiration flow naturally😀 Ahhhh buddy that sounds like a great idea! Would make a great objective marker for my Annatr / Black Numenorean army. Got any ideas on how to make it?

[@Old_Shatterhans]

@@windrushwargamers2745 I think I would use the body of the plastic Berserker from the bomb team, repose him to a more crucified position, swap the head for an elven one, and mount the whole thing onto a fitting "wooden" structure. Maybe add some arrows (as far as I remember part of his torture was being shot with arrows) and an Eye of Sauron carved into his chest or smth like that

[@windrushwargamers2745]

@@Old_Shatterhans That sounds sick man! He will be shredded with the berserker torso. I might use a historical chest for it if I can find one as I am fresh out of berserkers :)

I'm a big fan of your conversions. You have a great creative process. Inspired by the lore and history. Not afraid to deviate from the movies' esthetics. Well done!

@Windrush Wargamers I'm at the tail end of a small 40k genestealer project. Should finish that this week. Then I have to paint up some late additions to my Autumn themed Balin's expedition army for a small tournament next month. I have an OOP Khazad Guard captain that I want to do some conversions on. After that tournament I'll get swinging on an army of goat riders. Painted up with a Spring theme. And I'd just like to see you keep following your passion. That's how we get the truly creative things done. Maybe use the seasons or holidays for inspiration?
