Ruins of Middle Earth

I acquire the fragments of a couple of sets of Ruins of Middle Earth, an old Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game terrain kit by Games Workshop. I clean, repair and paint the models for future use in games of Frostgrave.

What game would you use these ruins in?

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

D&D since I really don’t play 40k anymore

[@MonsterPainter]

@@RIVERSRPGChannel excellent choice.

[@danielpalama3700]

Frostgrave, because it's the only game I paly since I have no real interest in 40K lol

[@MonsterPainter]

@@danielpalama3700 when you play the best why bother with the rest?

[@harlandmountain7998]

Frostgrave and D&D. I don't play any other fantasy games.

These ruins will fit well into a district of Old Felsted. The final step of sap green is my favorite part of your process. The mossy green really gives the ruins and buildings an ancient and overgrown feeling. It makes it look more realistic than plain dusty grey walls.

[@MonsterPainter]

Thank you. It ain’t a ruin unless it’s nice and mossy.

Congratulations on the addition of a sponsor! Great content as always.

Me love cookie !

You’ve done a fantastic job with these. The joke is as terrain they are likely to be some of your most used “miniatures”. So well worth doing. I would only cheekily comment I noticed that in scraping the glue off, you keep pulling the knife towards yourself, including quite near to the other wrists, always cut away from yourself! Unless accident and emergency is a lot better in Canada than in the UK.

[@EnDungeoned]

Nicely done! The original owners of those ruins did glue them together in some strange ways though.

[@MonsterPainter]

Thanks Mort and yes definitely not how I would have put them together.

[@metajock]

Nice find. I like the fact you didn't strip them before repainting them.

[@MonsterPainter]

Thanks. I believe that in most cases the old paint job is a good base coat.

[@manjr]

You get some good deals! Nice work as always.

[@MonsterPainter]

Thank you.

[@danielpalama3700]

Thank goodness Canadian Cookie Monster didn't eat those shrooms.

[@MonsterPainter]

Naw, those things make me woozy.

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

Very cool Nice paint job

[@MonsterPainter]

Thank you Rivers

hey that's mackenzie king! you can tell b/c of all the ghosts

[@MonsterPainter]

Oh my gawd! You’re right. How embarrassing. I just got caught up in the alliteration and forgot to double check. Now the ghost of his dog won’t leave me alone. Thank you for the correction.

[@charmedimsure8852]

They are a very refreshing set of ruins! I had no idea you were Canadian, were about?

[@MonsterPainter]

Yup, I am Canadian. I live in Toronto. Glad you enjoyed the video.
