Hill tribesmen banner

This might have to be my favourite banner miniature Such a lovely sculpt. The new plastics are absolutely fantastic, and they give me so much hope and excitement for what the future may hold for updated and new miniatures 🙂

Water slide decal/transfer sheets for MESBG

Does anyone know where I can get some high-quality waterslide decals/transfer sheets for MESBG?

I've tried eBay and Etsy, but they haven't been the best quality. No matter how I apply them, they end up looking like a low-res, glossy sticker that's just been stuck on.

And it's definitely not due to a lack of experience I've applied hundreds of decals to different tabletop miniatures and Gundam model kits, using varnishes, Micro Sol, Micro Set, etc., so they end up looking like they've been painted on.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Cheers 🙂

Uruk Hai Scouts

Uruk-hai Scouts’ plastic version surprisingly held up pretty well. I’ve found that the plastic kits released around 2006/07 have really aged badly cough, cough, Morannon Orcs and Gondor Rangers. 😅

P.S. Excuse the scuffed up base rims these are part of a diorama, and needed to been sanded to fit in the holes. 😀

The first ever scenery for MESBG from The fellowship of the Ring box set 2001

The first ever scenery for MESBG really showing its age the detail holds up but it's so thin 😅

The classic scatter scenery from the original The Return Of The King boxset.

Scatter scenery that originally came with the Return of the King box that was released in 2003. So much nostalgia 😍

Minas Tirith Commanders

Minas Tirith Commanders

Sadly, I didn't receive the best sculpts. There was a lot of metal flashing and a few miscast details, especially the captain's stars on his armour, which aren't formed correctly on one side. They are 100% official, ordered directly from the GW website before anyone comments. 😅

For some reason, I always seem to have rotten luck with Minas Tirith. My captain from the Made to Order release last year didn't even have half of his face formed inside the helmet. It's a shame because they're lovely miniatures.

I didn't notice the problems until after priming and applying the first base colour. So couldn't get replacement A personal tip remember to thoroughly check your miniatures before priming. Lesson learned for next time! 😅
