Hello All!

I am putting together several displays for Minas Tirith Battlehosts. Most are easy enough to come up with ideas for.

Battlehost - Knights of Minas Tirith with Faramir as the leader
Display - Pelenor Field as they ride out from Minas Tirith.
Image

Battlehost - Defenders of Minas Tirith with Gandalf and Peregrine Took
Display - A wall section of Minas Tirith with trebuchet.
Image

Battlehost - Army of the Dead with Aragorn
Display - Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and Army of the Dead charging off the boat in the docks.
Image

Battlehost - Denethor's personal guard
Display - The courtyard with the White Tree.
Image

My problem is that I also want a United Fiefdoms battlehost and would like to have a display for them. But they are never featured in the movie, so I am having a hard time thinking of a nice way to display them.

Battlehost - The United Fiefdoms force led by Forlong the Fat including axemen, clansmen, and the blackroot vale archers
Display - ???

I just ordered the Battlehost book today, so it will be a few days before I get it and actually know the make-up of all the Battlehosts. But I am pretty sure these are the basics. So, if anyone out there has an idea on a nice display for the United Fiefdoms Battlehost, please help!

Thanks all!

I would think defending a wall or breach. They answered the call to defend the city. I think only the Knights rode out.

Another option: how about having them defend something that looks like a sea shore or a port?

Or charging across the Pellenor from Harlond?

You could do a mix of the fiefoms arriving at the gates of Minas Tirith, representing when they came to aid in the battle in the book?

I am positive that the Blackroot Vale archers were destroyed by the mumakil, so they fought in the field as well.

I'm pretty sure that once the Rohirrim arrived and the siege was broken, Gondorians fought on the field. In the book anyway, where they weren't cornered in the 6th level of Minas Tirith :roll:
