RP No 147 - Sauron, Lord of the Ring

Another entry into Curt's Analogue Painting Challenge, this is my entry into the Villain Bonus round, I'm currently in 6th place in the bonus round and (29th overall, when this was posted), I'm up against some very very stiff competition, Curt's Russian's and Sydney's Mata Hari are both running away with it,  and well deservedly so!!! So if you haven't voted on the Bonus round get on over and do so, you don't have to be in the Challenge to vote!!!

I was a bit stuck on what to paint up for the villain bonus round, so I dug deep down into the layers of my leadpile and found these figures wrapped in a bit of loo roll. To be honest I'd forgotten I even had these figures, and I don't remember buying them??? I must have bought it for my nephew Connor around 10 years ago, when he was collecting the Games Workshop Lord of the Rings figures, which incidentally are up for sale, if anyone's interested??? I'll get some pics soon.

Now as you may know I'm not a real fan of Fantasy figures and I don't actually own any myself, I prefer historical periods, so I was a bit like  

"Oh God, how the hell am I gonna paint this bloody thingy???" 

There was lots of twitching and itching and quite a bit of swearing, in the end I looked a little like Woogie below!

You ever had a Whitehead on your eyeball Curt??? Hmm?

Elendil and Isildur lying prone.

The Dark Lord Sauron is driven by a consuming desire to dominate all of Middle-earth. From his stronghold in Mordor, Sauron controls many servants and all who fight for Evil, bow to his will. Sauron is the most powerful Hero in The Lord of The Ring Strategy Battle Game, to face him in combat is to face death.

But if you've got a broken sharp pointy thing, you may be in luck??
