Fëanor and I will be working on a series of articles, which will bear the (rather unimaginative) name of 'Upgrading the warriors of Middle-earth', and will describe some ways to convert and paint the upgraded versions of all the warriors that can be promoted in the new books.
Of course, the techniques described can be of use for many other projects as well, so they're certainly worth checking out!

First up is my article on upgrading Warriors of Rohan to Helmingas, which can be found here:

EDIT: With the TLA library down, you can find the article here:

We'll collect all the links to the various articles (still to come) in this thread, and of course, if you've got any thoughts or comments, you can leave them here as well!
