Boromir rides again! And so does Richard III Updated 2022-01-10

 Arthur and I have been reading The Hobbit (refer to my recent battle report from Erebor), and we have now progressed on to the Lord of the Rings.  Arthur has been going through my collection of fantasy figures, including the Games Workshop Middle-earth figures that I've had since the Fellowship of the Ring movie was released 20 years ago.  It turns out that while I had multiple copies of most members of the Fellowship, the only painted figure of Boromir in my collection was the one affectionately known as 'Pin-Cushion' Boromir.  Fortunately, we found a pair of unpainted figures, one on foot and one riding a horse.

I followed the paint job from Pin Cushion (or PC) Boromir as close as I could.  So, here then are the now three Boromirs we can use for upcoming games!

The blue is a bit more brilliant, the flock is a different shade, but I daresay that they will do for our purposes.

I also managed to get some paint on Richard III.  He's got a horse, so no need to offer to swap a kingdom for a new one.  I again tried to match the paint job I did on a similar figure that I painted a few years ago: this time of the Perry Miniatures' Commemorative Figure of Richard III emerging from a carpark in Leicester.

This time, I think I was a bit closer in matching the previous paintjob.

Update:  as soon as Boromir was painted, Arthur decided that he needed to face the orc horde!
