Hi, guys !

Here are 16 of twenty individualized gondorian soldiers.
(Four more to come, when I find suitable heads)

Since I‘m not familiar with the WWE-Scene and it’s athletes, those head-swaps might look way cooler for me, than for someone who knows all these characters, but anyways... I really like the variety of facial expressions now. From aggressive, over self-confident, or ready
for battle, to a little bit frightened.

Those with the body of the „gondorian swordsman“ were simple headswaps. I just had to enlarge diameter of the pegs.
Those with the body of Faramir were more tricky. First I had to find some heads which are smaller, than most of these WWE-figures (which are only a few). Then I had to elongate the necks of the Faramir-bodies, by sculpting new ones. It look the most time, to come up with a practical solution how to insert a peg into it, which also had to be longer, and have a bigger diameter.

Some sculpted beards here and there, some attached/sculpted hair on some guys and I had to dremel down the internal side of the Faramir-helmets.

Like always : I used Pro create; sculptor vaselin and colors of Citadel and Valejo.

Hope you guys like it !

Regards !

Legit only just seen this through randomly looking at LOTR. That’s awesome, some say the Gondorians are the Stormtroopers of LOTR with how they die by the dozens! Looks great! What base is that? Self made I assume.

Hi, Deaditor ! Sorry for the delayed reply ! Haven’t been on figurerealm since month. Moved to FB and IG.

Thanks man. Awesome that you like it !

No, the base is not selfmade. I‘ve just added some wash and drybrushing.
It’s a „Modular Gaming Terrain“ from ZITERDES. That model is called „Oppidum“ (60x60cm) and costs around 35€.

Kind regards !

Thanks, DSNG500 ! Funny, you wrote that, cause this is most likely the most uncreative work, I‘ve done so far. 😄 Just headswaps and and some modifications on the necks. But awesome, that you like it, though !

Kind regards !

Yeah, now this is an army worthy of Gondor!
The headswaps worked very well. Great individuality here.
The mixture of the bloated soldier figure with the more slender Faramir ones works well.

For Gondor!! For Gondor!! Man, you have built an army worthy of Elendil! Fantastic stuff! My favorite armor from all the LOTR movies was easily the Gondorians and you've done them proud here. I'm so jealous. My little Gondorian garrison is nothing compared to this mighty company!

Haha, THANKS MAN ! I really, really appreciate it ! 🙏🏻 I must say, that I’ve undervalued the gondorian swordsman-figure a very long time. I guess, the original head irritated me so much, that I couldn’t see the potential, or the aesthetics
of that figure. I‘m really happy, to have a counterweight to all the orcs, I‘ve made so far.
FOR GONDOR !
....and MORDOR !
...aaaand HODOR !
...and ENDOR ...and RANCOR... ! 😉

Regards !
