Robs Fantasy Figs

Really cool !

It seems that Lion Rampant and Frostgrave are the 2 fashionable games these days ! Reading all these things on it and admiring all these minis made me ordering them both

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

After reading a bit more about Frostgrave I can see me using the LOTRS figs for that game as well (if I can find a willing opponent), I was intending to use my Mordheim stuff but Frostgrave appears to be an early mediaeval setting so the LOTR figs might be more appropriate.

It seems both games, Lion Rampant and Frostgrave, have broad generic troop types so people can use whatever they see as matching the stat line and equipment.

Just in case anyone missed the latest issue of Wargame, Soldiers and Strategy (issue 79) has fantasy rules for Lion Rampant, they keep things quite simple adding rules for flyers, magic and the undead.

Edit: Changed the name of the thread so can lump all my fantasy stuff in here. Added my Mordor/Angmar forces to the blog:

  Incredible pictures. The scenic setting really shows off the minis (which are great, too).

  Thank you for sharing, wonderful paint jobs and scenery, might have to get my unfinished lotr/ hobbit stuff out tonight

Excellent figs!

Cool to see LotR figs getting a second life through Dragon Rampant!

That being said, LotR the battle game was such a good skirmish game, it's hard not to use it... I really like lion Rampant though as well....

Thanks

Beautiful stuff.  And the scenery is great, too.

Lovely paint jobs. Your scenic photos are just as nice. I think LotR stuff will work well with Frostgrave. The hardest part will be the wizard & apprentice miniatures.

I got the WSS #79 just for the Dragon Rampant article and the review on Frostgrave is what sucked me into buying that rulebook. But I am looking forward to the Dragon Rampant rulebook for my LotR stuff.

The Horde emerging from the forest is a FANTASTIC photo! GREAT WORK!

Thanks for all the nice comments

Neldoreth - the LOTR game is fantastic, still played semi regular at one of the clubs I attend, although they do tend toward large battles (at the club that is) which I don't think really suit the rules, shame really, I still manage to bully a friend of mine into a game now and then.

audrey - I've just made a short blog post about that, pictured below are some of the figs I'm considering. They are a mixture of GW (doesn't every one have at least one Gandalf?) and Perry crusader civvies.

Great choices of figures for your Frostgrave wizards and apprentices. Your Dwarfs and Troll look fantastic - great painting and excellent settings. I will take a look at your blog at my leisure over the rest of the weekend.

Lovely stuff all around.
