Very nice job! I like the saruman figure, very pretty.

The Coppelstone gandalfs are really good, but in my opinion the sorceror in the GW pack of characters of vampire counts (I do not know the name of the necromacner) is perfect to make a Gandalf too. I am refering to the one with a conical high hat and robes.

looking forward to see more middle earth stuff

Anyone compare Kallistra to Copplestone?  My understanding is that they are both large 10's

Nop, no kallistra in my box. But I have pendraken,and for what I know the bulk of fantasy kallistra miniatures are from the molds of pendraken.

I could take some shots if you are intersted.

I have a question: Who is this little dude. He is the same as the heros character and his carry an axe.

Just guessing, but my money is on Faramir or Eomer.

It's a lovely model.

Wow jchaos! I have been looking a few days now for some more riders of rohan models and you drop one on my doorstep!

Is that a Pendraken model? What range is it from? I really would like some more rohan as my Isengaurd army is on the grow and it seems fit that the Rohhirm should to. I really like Coppelstone but was hoping to fins something cheaper than £5 a pop!

Well if he is carrying an axe then I would say its Eomer but from the looks it would also work as a mounted Boromir.

It is from Coppelstone. The pack of heros on horse.

I attach you a picture also from this pack and I think is a rohirrim (maybe the king or his son)

Well if he is carrying an axe then I would say its Eomer but from the looks it would also work as a mounted Boromir.

Could be eomer, not Boromir because has it own rider figure (with the horn included)

Aww I was really hoping it was pendraken. Oh well.

This is probably a plight in vain but does anyone have spare any of the Men from the Battle of Five armies set? I have been using them to make Rohirrm and would like to get hold of some more without getting a surplus of... well... everything else in the box.

I've started breaking up my bofa stuff. Not sure if I have men left.  If I do, I'd be happy to sell.

I have just managed to acquire:

BOFA - Dwarven Archers
BOFA - Elven Cav
BOFA - Trolls

Needless to say I am excited.

I've been working on my Harad, Far Harad lists.

Hopefully soon, I'll be able to post some pictures of my Far Harad Half Trolls

Looking forward to pics when they are complete.

Okay an incredibly busy few weeks alot of things have needed sorted out... Also an ant infestation! I like ants they do a great job in nature but when they are in my house I am less friendly.


I have done next to no painting but have had a little planning time, This week I have mainly been looking at 'The army of the Dead' I am looking to place an order on Pendraken but I need to find some suitable figures for the AotD if anyone has any suggestions that would be swell.


Rolgan - I would really like to see your Far Harad guys, especially the half trolls. In my big book of WMME the plan was to use 15mm Zulus to act as them, but if you have a better idea I would love to... erm.. steal it.


Okay to go with my not much painting vibe here are some new Uruks, I like painting these guys as they only take a little while to do and I am really happy with the results. (Apart from alot of the white hands look like paws...) I have to say since seeing these pics the banner is a little dull might need to whiten it up a little.




I rebased my old uruks to get the more interesting phalanx formation. Here are more pikes. There are alot of Uruks sat in my production queue so hopefully you will see some more of these guys.




I painted these guys a while ago, they are BoFA human spearmen being used as Rohan infantry. They came out nicely enough but the same with most of my complaints is the banner. I wanted to go for something different to just another horse head so it turned into some kind of wierd Horse spirit? I kind of ran out of room for bottom legs. I am desperately trying to expand my rohan army, if anyone has reccomendations for pendraken minis to use as knights of Rohan I would like to see some.





Also you have seen him before but he was originally painted to be used with evil armies... its everyones favourite Sergei the Giant.

Nice basing on the uruk phalanx. Could we see a image in depth? or aerial view?

The rohan infantry is so nice! and the banner is strong!

About Far Harad (I am not planning doing it now) but time along I though about the figures to use, I remember that would fit well celt chariots (without charioteers), mongol figures mixed with early arabs and some byzantine cavalery for elite. What a salad! I do not have all the figues so I do not see the effect of such mix.

Which pack of rules do you use?
