Built some deciduous trees terrain this week for my lord of the rings miniature game I never play. Now the Rohirrim can ride through Fangorn on their hunt for orc.
The tree groups are built upon some carved foam, and covered with some grass matting. Then I hot glued some stumps down, and glued some sand and rocks down. Once dry I painted them with scorched brown, and then drybrushed them with snakebite leather and skull white. Then glued down some grass flock to cover any unsightly seems, and then clumps of foliage as bushes. They turned out pretty good. Here's some pics of the trees themselves before I figured out to turn off the flash under macro mode.
A goblin hides in the trees for scale.
Of course, no goblin is going to be able to skulk around the Riddermark without the Riders of Rohan (led by Gandalf, of course) venturing forth to purge their lands of such evil!
*gulp!*

Goblins can fight just fine. Here are some quotes to prove it.

Was there a goblin/orc/blackorc with Fate Points, or Hero Points, or whatever?
I want to lead an army with a super orc. Maybe that one in Pelinor fields with the smearface, who likes to spit, and doesn't get scared by flying rocks.
Gothmog. The ugly diseased-orc lookin' guy is named Gothmog.
And yeah, GW makes him.
Those trees look so lifelike. Perhaps you could build me some life size trees, I could use a better wind break for this winter, it gets nasty out here in the plains.
When I come to see you, I want to play some Goblins. I'll do the voices for the encounter. Horse dudes vs. Orc/goblins.
"What news from the Mark?"
"Screeeeeeech!"
"I couldn't understand that? Are you taking the hobbits to Isenguard?"
"Squillllllllllch!"
"A wizard should know better. Orcs don't use it. Orcs don't know it. One does not simply walk into Mirkwood."
"Roaaaaaaaar!"
So on and so forth, until you walk out of the room.
Nice handycraftsmanship. Jodi has been dabbling in scrapbooking and I have to admit that my bowels loosen up in delight when I see all the little stick-on bits for different page themes. I love that last little vignette in the woods. You could do some pretty sweet tabletop picture blow-by-blow with your new trees.
