I've had a little bit of a block on sitting down to get things painted over the past week, and then suddenly I'm struck by inspiration and get Merry and Pippin knocked out in about three hours.
The spur e of this inspiration was not actually anything Lord of the Rings related, instead I'm prepping for a 7TV scenario as part of the Night Terrors campaign in which a D&D session becomes all too real.
The youngest of the kids in this scenario plays a paladin, and so I needed a model that was both short and knightly.
Merry and Pippin were the best option.
This is the plastic version of Merry, Esquire of Rohan, that comes with the Dernhelm/Eowyn model released a couple of years ago. There is also a mounted version that slots on the horse in front of Eowyn.
I do have to admit that printing the newer plastic model is so much better than grappling with the 20 year old plastics I have for the rest of the Rohirrim.
Similarly, Pippin, Knight of Gondor, comes with the plastic Gandalf the White, again with a mounted version for the specific scenario from the movie in which Gandalf rides out against the Nazgul and for some reason takes Pippin with him.
Both models were very straightforward to paint, but Pippin was incredibly easy. Bring mainly grey black and silver. It's made me consider starting a Minas Tirith force.
Anyway, they're done, and that probably meant I need to turn my attention to mounted versions, along with Gandalf and Eowyn.
