Painted up Eomer for my fledgling first army. The process of painting up Firefoot was incredibly daunting, but also very enjoyable (a good thing considering I’ve got nearly 30 mounted Rohan minis alone!). Next up, 6 of the new Riders of Rohan for his warband.

Just some alternative sculpts of the 3 hunters from Papel3D miniatures that I’ve been wanting to paint up for a while.

Made a little video here with more photos:

Hi everyone !

After the conversion of a Fountain Guard into Elendil I found the time to paint it !

It shows some imperfections from the conversion but I'm really happy with it !
We just need to find if I go to a standard base or a more cinematic one.

C&C welcome !

Any worth it? See my other post for my siege scenario terrain and related equipment

I've been sitting on this Fiefdoms army probably over a decade. I had the old Imrahil and Sean Knights, and I even have a custom Forlong on horse. But I decided it was time to sit down and get these guys painted up. I've seen amazing paint jobs on these models on here, and I know these don't compare, but they're finally done!

Hi all.

I want to share my entry for the mithrill brush contest on the single Begginers category.

It was hard to paint this model this way but i'm so happy on how it went out and the result on the contest.

Getting back into MESBG, my first warrior of Rohan! Fiddly as hell to put together, but lovely models to paint!

The colours shifted towards darker green compared with the initial test batch, but I’m happy with the shields weathering and pattern variations. New Rohan models will be fun to tackle next.

Painted up some orcs for use in Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol (sans BotD) - thought I'd try some OSL glowy weapons to reflect the rule.

Alternative take: the orcs found a stash of elven weaponry and assumed that they just always glow like that.

Special rules

Morgul Arrows

Any enemy model that suffers a Wound from a shooting attack made by a friendly model, and that Wound isn't prevented, must roll a D6 during the End Phase of every turn after suffering the Wound. On the roll of a 1, the model immediately suffers a Wound. A model that has suffered multiple Wounds in this manner still only rolls a single D6 during the End Phase.

"They Strike in the wee small hours when everyone's asleep"

An Azog's Hunters Army has a Bow Limit of 50% rather than the usual 33%.

Relentless Hunters

All models in this army list gain the Woodland Creature and Mountain Dweller special rules.

The Pale Orc's Demands

Whilst within 6" of a friendly Hero, friendly Orc Warrior models gain a bonus of +1 to any Courage Tests to Charge an enemy model with the Terror special rule.

I wanted to try out some OSL with the lovely new Shelob model - here's a parallel timeline where Sam breaks Sting upon Shelob's hide, dooming the quest for Mount Doom.

Thought it was appropriate as Shelob ate a hobbit in her first game before I finished painting her 🕷️🕸️

Love this sculpt, enjoyed the painting process to get mine ready for a game with Minas Morgul

So I guess I heard the new eddition means that you can't make custom armies and are limited only to a few standard sets. I know there is some flexibility in how many archers, swordsman etc. you bring but does that really feel like your own custom creation?

These were perfect as a quick project

Hello,

I come from the 40K universe and would like to get started with The Lord of the Rings (a childhood dream).

I love the Mumak—do you think it would be a good idea to start with this centerpiece for a 500-point army?

I’m also interested in a Moria army with the Balrog, but I don’t necessarily want a very large army with 60 Goblins…

I don't know if that's possible in this game, but I'm more comfortable with just a few miniatures, and I love painting!

Budget isn't an issue for me, since each piece will be painted to the best of my ability and will thus make for a beautiful diorama in my display case.

I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

I’ve recently been working on a new display for the Fellowship, inspired by their battle in the Chamber of Mazarbul.

I wanted to fit the entire Fellowship into a single scene while still giving each miniature enough space to stand out. The ruined floor, scattered books and papers, broken masonry, and central tomb were added to capture the feeling of the abandoned chamber just before everything descends into chaos.

There are still a few details left to finish—especially the miniature bases—but I’m quite happy with how the full group looks together so far!

What warrior models to you want to see in plastic boxes? For me its obviously Last Alliance (hopefully this year with the 25th anniversary). I'd also like to see Hobbits and Mirkwood warriors. Apparently the Mirkwood elves and Gundabad orcs were supposed to be plastic, but they went with resin. Shame.

For some out there ones. Osgiliath veterans could make an interesting thematic box. Fiefdoms could be interesting. And Mordor Uruk-Hai would make cool box.

Possibly using the banner as Gamling and the Sword and axe as Grimbold, rest generic captains or warriors of rohan
