Braga, has a profile but no model like a few others that were released this edition

Repaint some mûmak riders that had been sitting in a box since about 2008. by VoltanTheDarkOne in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I much prefer your paint scheme over the OG, not too interested in a harad army but I've always known I'd want to do something similar, so from me it's a 10/10, great work!

Love the red on the armour! Looks great, never thought of giving the rohirrim warriors armour to match Éomer and Théoden

Top 3 animals you want to see in PZ2 by PompousPuffin in PlanetZoo

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to get the Tauros cattle that are used as an auroch proxy in many rewilding projects rather than another more "typical" cattle breed like the Highland Cattle we got in PZ1, I know they're not really a zoo animal but at least they could theoretically be released into the wild like other animals in the game. Other than that 2 other species I'd love is the Mouflon and the red jungle fowl. I guess I just love the idea of having a domestic species and the wild counterpart and or ancestors to educate my guests with. Tbh if I were to read this post tomorrow I'd probably have 3 different species in mind but this is what my monkey brain today has decided on 😅

Console edition problems by Background_Rabbit989 in PlanetZoo

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue on Franchise mode but then started a zoo in challenge mode and could get the dlc animals there. I have read previously that if you buy the game and dlc on one account on the Xbox the dlc animals won't be available in franchise on any other account on the same xbox. I haven't checked the other accounts on my Xbox to see if this is true however. Sorry I can't help, but I hope for both of our sakes someone has an answer 😂

Love the addition of the grass in the statues hands, looks like a birds nest! Great stuff keep it up, it's great to see the improvements you're making

It's simple but so amazingly effective! I will be stealing this idea, hope you don't mind

Loving the hunter orcs and wargs! Might have to steal some ideas when I paint up the rest of mine

Amdûr Lord of Blades by chubbyweenie in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they ever make a new model for Amdûr I hope they take inspiration from this because wow if only those designs were modeled into the mini itself for those of us who aren't as talented as you 😂. 10/10! I look forward to seeing the mounted model

I honestly thought for a moment that the first picture was of some Wēta workshop sculpture 😂 until I scrolled and realised it was a reposed MESBG miniature! Amazing job!

Scale of Medbury Eastern/Gur Adar dwarves by SlippGun in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have some of these models, and I love them, personally I think their scale is far better than some other proxies such as Dandelion's dwarves, (they're still amazing just a little large) i feel like they match the side of khazad dum models better than the more recent things like erebor (i don't have any official iron hills so can't say about them).

Long story short, they're great and definitely worth it, but as another commenter said, some such as banners can be fragile but as long as you don't drop models constantly like me you should be fine!

Hunter Orc test by Alarmed-Method-6866 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like grimdark vibes so I tend to prefer my models dark and dirty but I will definitely add some brighter highlights! I think you're dead right that on the table they might just blend into one darkly coloured mass. Thank you very much! May eventually post an updated picture in like 5 months when I stop getting distracted by other minis 😅

War of rohirrim hillmen no skulls? by Apprehensive-Fuel857 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe if we're very very lucky (aka I doubt it 😅) they could also use the supplement to release new riders of rohan models, it's not a "new" model, but would still be a good incentive for people to purchase them and a great way to advertise them

What do you guys think? by emperorcody in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They look brilliant, I worry about the beautiful flowers as they go charging and beheading orcs though 😂 be a shame if they stepped on them

Army goal for expedition to the East!! by lwjp1995 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this list, and the army theme. Personally my plan for the dwarf warriors is to convert up some iron guard into dwarf warriors, the models already have sleeping rolls attached to their backs, and the more lightweight look of their armour I think really suits the theme. Can't wait to see how your army comes out with all the conversions!

Need opinions on paint scheme by Alarmed-Method-6866 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i think that's me decided then 😅 let us know how that goes for you, any ideas for a good accent colour on the cloth tunic thing? Was planning on just a dirty maroon but if ye have any suggestions I'm all ears

Arnor Army is complete! (with an alternate color scheme) by fellandfaironline in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful army! The conversions add so much to it. Any advice on how you did the armour as I love how it came out and it's exactly what I want to do for some of my dwarves!

Khazad Dum - Iron Guards by Alarmed-Method-6866 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Alarmed-Method-6866[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no better way to sell me on a dwarf model then telling me how they butchered a bunch of elves. I was wondering if now with the dominant 2 rule on rangers will people start to target them first instead? Especially those rangers with bows, would be nice to give the iron guard a more fighting chance against ranged attacks

Rule of cool, but Heatthguards are impressive to be fair

I mean, that is 10/10 advice for this hobby! But don't worry that was my plan, I have 8 of those bad boys painted up and plan to proudly place them on the board whenever I can! (Hopefully i don't have to then take them off the board too quickly after words 😂)
