The Forum

So after picking up my latest 10mm order of figures from Paul and Sally and having a quick chat about next years Hammerhead 2017 show I have committed myself to putting on a Hordes and Heroes epic of The Siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of The Pelennor Fields!

I will be using the Hordes and Heroes Medieval Fantasy Rules but as I have only ever played one game of this, being primarily a painter and not a gamer , we thought it would be a good idea to get some other people involved on the day to take control of the troops.

It's a project I have had on the back burner for a year or two so having 3 months to paint up all the remaining hordes in time for the show should motivate me to finish it! I will post up pics of my progress as I finish the various units.

Hope to see you at the show, come and join the forces of good or evil , I'm looking forward to finally having a game with them

cheers Dan

Look forward to seeing that.

Here's a few shots of the troops as they come together for the game

Rohan archers and spearmen, Gondor spearmen and archers and rangers of ithilien

more to follow

Looking good Dan

Heres a few more finished units

Some elves that I will be using for some southern Gondor guard troops, some heavy siege weapons for the orcs assault and a couple of the nine Nazgul's on the winged beasts.

After much searching I've found suitable figures to represent the half trolls of Far Harad from copplestones 15mm Barbican range

a few more pics of the armies, giants, trolls and orc archers.........I know there isn't mention of giants as such in the battle of Pelennor but I love these old Citadel giants so much I just had to use them , and they really do look like giants next to 10mm figures!

heres a few of the latest.............please tell me if these are becoming boring!

Haradrim/ Southrons, perfect with a few big elephants from the local toyshop

Gondor cavalry up next

no not bored love the elephant how many of those do you have

Dane

Cheers Dane, I have 5 of these mumakil painted up for the battle, all slightly different in pose, I wanted something truly massive and so didn't use the usual 10mm or 15mm stuff out there, they look like they will take some stopping! and I won't be introducing the army of undead as seen in the film version, I will be sticking to the book
