After shying away from fantasy for a very long time, scared off by Warhammer influences, I've decided to get back in. With Dragon Rampant I think I can keep things small (*snort* yeah right!) and control what goes on the table top. I've been a huge fan of Tolkien's work since I was a wee nipper, so it only makes sense to have some Middle Earth troops on the table top.
I got this old GW Ent a while back, and liked him and kept him on display, unplayed with for 20 odd years.

I also did this dragon a long time ago. ONe of my first attempts at washes. Obviously heavily influenced by Smaug the Golden instead of Angfalac the Black

Now I have added some of the old Vendel figures from Sergeant Major Miniatures:
A company of heroic elves:

The first of several companies of stalwart dwarf warriors:

The elf king waving his rune inscribed magic sword:

The back of his cloak, which influenced the designs on the shields and the banner:

I'm going for early Third Age. The Northern Kingdoms are fighting the Witch King of Angmar and each other. There is still an Elf realm in Hollin and the dwarves in Khazad-Dum are busy battling goblins and have not yet woken up the Balrog.
So far humans will be supplied by my 11th century/Norman/First Crusades troops, although I may redo their banners to be less Norman/Crusader and more Middle Earthy.
-
Nice stuff there, I really like the dragon, how big is it? And who makes it?
-
It is I believe an old Grenadier model.
It's huge. You can see him in action with other troops around him here: http://rabbitsinmybasement.blogspot.ca/2016/10/in-which-i-whip-out-my-dragon.html
His base is 90x120mm
He's 180mm to the top of the wings
-
Yes I found him, teronus the ultimate dragon! Thanks for that :) definitely on my to buy list
-
I always had a soft spot for those Treemen GW did. I had several, but sold off my Wood Elf army years ago.
Your stuff looks great, are those designs freehand?
-
Thanks
Yes they are!
Doing the shields gave me hand cramp!
-
Nice start to a project. It also highlights why I think Dragon Rampant is such a superb little set of rules. It really does make it worthwhile to dig up old miniatures or unplayed with miniatures etc. and simply throw them on the table and have a good quick game. That is the strength of that product I feel.
-
Those vendel miniatures are quite quaint. :-*
-
I have a large collection of Middle Earth armies that are getting dug out for Dragon Rampant, including a bunch of Vendel dwarves, orcs and gobbos.
-
Trying to figure out how to upload pics from my tablet to Flickr so I can share here is frought with frustration.
So far I am uploading my pics to a facebook album, then downloading to my PC from which I can click and drag to Flicr uploader. o_o
But here some are:
My treeman has been in a game now! He was supporting the Mad Padre's naked Victorian elf babes as they defended a forest against the Padre's Uruks (commanded by another Mike). Here he is fending off savage Warg riders and earning the nom du guerre Stonebark:

Elsewhere on the same table, my Big Red Dragon was leading my Black Company of Fell Men to their doom against a force of hobbit archers with the sharpshooter upgrade:
(https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5625/31055091916_13dfdee412.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/PjesTf)15107424_10210453954601643_9152817276708694854_n (https://flic.kr/p/PjesTf) by Hotlead2009 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37714948@N03/), on Flickr
We effectively recreated the battle of Agincourt with me and my dragon as the French. :D
But here is the first company of orcs:

And an evil wizardling (from the Old Glory wizard pack) with a pair of trolls, who will be part of a four figure unit of Bellicose foot:

Added a second unit of Orcish light foot with missiles

And had a game with the Elves and Dwarves trying to defend a river crossing from the Legions of Angmar

True to form older figures defeated all the new shiny. But late in the game I realized I'd forgotten the "invisible" upgrade I'd put on my ent and elf scouts, which might've helped somewhat.... lol
-
Inspiring stuff!
-
i'm about to start playing DR but in 15mm. what board size do you use? i'm thinking of 3'x2' (equivalent of 4'x6') but i was just curious what you were finding was best.
-
Hmmmmm.... I just kinda set up some terrain. :)
The game pictured above was about 5x6. The mountains are blocking off one end of my table to delineate the board edge.
Games with 2 or 3 warbands a side I'll use my whole table.
-
very nice figures and terrain
-
Due to camera angles and getting toasted by dragon fire last outing the dwarves didn't get much camera time.
So here they are looking all stubborn.

Don't worry, reinforcements are on the bench and almost done. :)

Lots done over the Christmas holiday!
The Legions of Angmar are boosted with a Fellbeast/Werewolf:

They also get a third unit of Orcs, this one sporting a banner:

Great work, and many thanks for the inspiration you've provided. I like your choice of era for the setting as well.
Nice start to a project. It also highlights why I think Dragon Rampant is such a superb little set of rules. It really does make it worthwhile to dig up old miniatures or unplayed with miniatures etc. and simply throw them on the table and have a good quick game. That is the strength of that product I feel.
Absolutely agree. DR have provided me the toolkit to do the fantasy gaming & campaigning I want from my own ideas, and in turn TMWWBK has done likewise for some of the VSF ideas I have.
-
LOVE your painting - those shield designs are especially beautiful!
And good to see the old Vendel figures in action!
-
Good stuff!! I have a soft spot for those Vendel figures...
-
Awesome stuff mate!
Those Vendel Miniatures really do convey a more of the "books LotR" feeling than the GW ones.
-
I echo the previous posters' comments, those vendel minis really look the part! They've got a good mix of dark ages reality with just the right amount of fantasy.
-
Thanks chaps.
-
I'll second globlin's comment re Vendel.
-
I echo the previous posters' comments, those vendel minis really look the part! They've got a good mix of dark ages reality with just the right amount of fantasy.
Yes. That is why I love the Vendel figures and why I have avoided most fantasy games.
WFB and it's ilk just bug the crap out of me with all the spikes and skulls and really stupid looking shields.
-
Those Vendel figures are fantastic for my mental image of Middle Earth, I bought loads of them when they were first released. Although wargaming megalomania set in and I've since added a whole load of other manufacturers orcs, about 90% of my Dwarf army is still Vendel. I know what you mean about GW, a few years back we staged a big Middle Earth game with about 2000 metal figures and not a single Warhammer figure on the table.
-
Finished my 4th Uruk unit. Light foot with missiles.
I had a stroke of inspiration for the banner. Here it is pre folding:

And here's everything I've painted up for the Forces of Angmar since I started this project in September:

Great looking game! I love those BIG mountains.

They have been repurposed from my NWF terrain! :)

Big battle. Loads of epic fun.
Lots of pictures here: http://rabbitsinmybasement.blogspot.ca/2017/03/baldors-bridge.html
-
Great choice of minis and lovely painting and presentation. It was a pleasure to dig through this thread, thank you!
-
A great game and nice to see the Vendel figures in use. :D
Most of my Dwarf army are Vendel as well, lovely miniatures. I've really got to get some more Middle Earth games with Dragon Rampant. Plus The Pikeman's lament and The Men who Would Be Kings...too many rules, too little gaming time!
-
I didn't post any pics of the Dwarf flags that were in the last battle I linked above.
this one inspired by the doors to Moria in Fellowship of the Ring:

Loved the battle report, I liked your writing style especially, you did well to capture something of the epic language of Tolkien there. I wish my dice turned out so cinematically.
-
You're too kind.
If I can write half as well as Tolkien I'd be lucky.
-
You've done a splendid job of evoking Middle Earth in miniature (or at least its more warlike elements). I always liked Vendel Miniatures, but stupidly never bought any when they were still in the UK. I look forward to upcoming instalments.

Renovated some old and basically useless hills into something more dramatic:

Got some 1/72nd scale plastic "War Trolls" from Dark Alliance for my 28mm Middle Earth armies. About 1/20th of the price of the GW figures and not much smaller. I mean really how big is a troll anyway? So now the evil Necromancer of Angmar has 8 of them for less than Cdn$20. I'm going to initially try them as 2 figure units of Bellicose Foot with the "Shiny Armour" upgrade.

Really nice trolls (if that can be said). Recently I'm seeing them popping up everywhere, the Dark Alliance range has made a success with these.
-
Nice project.

Bought some more Elves from fellow LAFer Guitarheroandy and got the achers and light spear ready for the table:

You're wood elves turned out great, love those shields.

Some more bigger, meaner Orcs to reinforce the Legions of Angmar. These are some Scotia-Grendel Orcs I bought second hand for my daughter over 20 years ago. She started them. Lost interest, They got put in a box and rediscovered by me last month. My daughter had done a not bad job of blocking in the main colurs so it was pretty quick work to finish them off. So like all Servants of the Enemy they have crept forth from their hiding place to answer the call to war!

They are slightly bigger than my Vendel Orcs, so I'm going to class these fellows as Heavy Foot with the Offensive upgrade.
-
Looking really good. I must dig out my Middle Earth stuff and get some games in!
-
Finally got my Vendel wolf riders from LAFer Quendil.

Trying to post pics but my phone won't talk to Flickr and the tablet won't turn on.

Very nice! Painting wolves on the shields is a great idea.

Here we go!
