Come one guys no one even ready to start?

My work this months:

Epic heroes
Dain
Balin
Common formations
1 company dwarfs with shield with captain and banner
1 company dwarfs with 2 handed weapon
1 company dwarfs with bows
1company dwarf rangers
1 company dwarf rangers with 2 handed weapon
1 company dwarf rangers with bow
Rare formations
2 companies galahdrim knights with shields and banner
1 company galadhrim knight with longbows

Total: 800 poins

Having given the matter a lot of thought, I thus announce that I shall...

...do both.

Yes, I'm insane. But there be method in my madness. The Elves are largely purchased. The Rohirrim are mostly purchased, but there's a few I think I'd need to make up 2500. And focussing my purchases, it will keep me from spending too much money in a scattershot fashion.

So: the army will be a Rohan army with Gondor allies (since there's a bunch of Gondorians staring at me on my painting table). I'll make the list later.

And then, in spring, I'll start the Lothlorien Elves. If I do both sets in relay, with the occasional break for Dwarves or random Orcs, I'll have both armies done by the end of the year, barring incident or accident.

But first! finish undercoating my Realm of Battle.

Which I shall go attend to now.

Gavin

Hey now! I've already started painting (albeit, just the Drum, but I'm ready to start the actual drummers tomorrow)

Hey all, midway through the month and here I have another update on my Trolls...they're not done yet, but they're getting close:



And here's a detail on their slightly green backs:



And a close up of my favorite:



They will be done soon I hope.

I must say that I may be late getting my unpainted model pictures up for next month, since I'm starting a new job next week and a paycheck probably won't be arriving until April, but as soon as I get the money, I will drive up to the game store and get some new models to paint for April...they'll probably be Wargs, since they're really easy and I have a more difficult project I'm working on at the moment and will be continuing in April

Anyway, I'm very pleased with seeing everyone's forces, even though we've lost quite a few...here's hoping everyone can catch back up and go to the bitter end with me

Cheers,
Wolfy

While I quite like the scales I don't like the pinkness of the rest of the skin, it's just a personal thing though, I guess you can't please everyone.

Don't know if I'll go that far with the conversions but I've added some siege equipment to them (e.g. grappling hooks and flaming brands). 2 members of the current company are holding rope - front row, first on the left and second row, first on the right.

Wow, end of March is upon us already and look at all the updates

To ensure that at least one carries the heavy burden another month, I present to you my army choices for March completed, three Cave Trolls:



And then the whole army shot...they aren't arranged in War of the Ring style because the Trolls are the only additions...next month I'll arrange them how they're supposed to be:



Next month for me is up in the air, but I think I'll be adding some Angmar forces to the mix. If I can manage it, I'll have some Ghostly Legion and Orcs, but if I can't manage the Ghostly Legion, it'll just be Orcs and maybe finishing some of the unpainted Wargs I have lying around somewhere...

At any rate, I'll post a modified list tomorrow.

Come on lads, let's see what you've been painting!

Cheers,
Wolfy

I agree, where's everyone else? At least we have one pioneer who has taken up the leaders badge and set the pace. *pats wolfy on the shoulder*

Sorry for my tardiness, but I have almost completed my assigned miniatures for March.

Pics on the way soon

The trolls look really cool, great work. I would only suggest to maybe wash them with some black or brown ink

I also like the hills in the backround, nice job!

Hello everyone since I've been in this thread but i'm still working on my army but the plans are changed I'm still doing a erebor army but I do a army based on the battle of the five army in the hobbit book. But there is 1 problem if I want do this I use too much points on allies so do you guys have any trouble with this?

But this are the pictures of march
2 companies warriors of dale with captain and 1 company archers of dale.



and this are the models for april 2 companies warriors of dale and 1 company thranduils guard.


So good luck everyone and nice trolls captain.

Thanks very much TBB

@hero of gondor: well, since our valiant leader has puled out and I seem to have picked up the reins of evil overlord, feel free to go over your ally limit. Your army will be really awesome when it's complete

Cheers,
Wolfy

The title needs a bad pun to be complete

Good work everyone! I'm sure John will be pleased to find that this didn't fall apart when he gets back. Though I do feel a passing stir of pity for those who have fallen behind

Dreaming of getting back to painting...any month now.

Well, here is my mostly unpainted models for April (I couldn't find my camera for the lat six days, so started working on the orcs):



And here's a more detailed shot of the three that have been started:



So my list looks like this:

The Misty Mountains:

1. Druzhag the Beastcaller (epic hero)
2. Moria Goblin Warband with shield and Goblin Drum
3. Moria Goblin Warband with shield (with co. #2)
4. Moria Goblin Warband with shield (with co. #2 & 3)
5. Wild Warg pack with Warg Chieftain
6. Wild Warg pack
7. Wild Warg pack
8. Moria Goblin Warband with shortbows
9. Moria Goblin Warband with shield (with co. #2, 3, & 4)
10. Cave Troll
11. Cave Troll
12. Cave Troll

Angmar:

13. Angmar Orc warband with shields, captain, banner bearer, and shaman
14. Angmar Orc warband with shields
15. Angmar Orc warband with shields

New additions are in bold

TOTAL Points Value: 870 points
Common:Rare Formations: 4:3 formations
Common:Rare Companies: 12:3 companies
Allies: 20%

I think that's accurate...

Anyway, the goal with this army is to build it up to have enough models for both a full Misty Mountains army and a full Angmar army, so you'll be seeing some more Angmar lads in the future. The armies will be done so the models can be allied with each other and have the same bases, so if I want Wargs and Trolls in my Angmar army, I can have them

Expect a few Nazgul to make an appearance too later in the year, probably in either December or November so I have some epic Heroes for Angmar

Cheers,
Wolfy
