I'm a big fan of Warmaster, one of the best GW games. So when I saw that War of the Ring was some kind of a simplified Warmaster... Bingo! I've launched an original project : build an Isengard army for War of the Ring AND Warmaster.

Little (10mm) Big (25mm) Uruk.

You can see the beginning of the project on my blog, La Tribune Ludique. It's in French but pictures speak an international language.

I'll gradually update that topic whith my work.

The last step made was the painting of Saruman (10mm version) :

Who makes the 10mm models???
Are they from Warmaster?

They're from Copplestone Castings and I've had my eye on these for a while.

What type/ shade of paint did you use for your nice black armour?

This is very simple : GW black undercoat then GW Boltgun Metal drybrush. I've used some brown to give a dirty aspect.

I've added a new 10mm unit to my collection.

My checklist is less "crossy".

Next : a War of the Ring company.

This looks so much more reasonable than collecting thousands of 28mm LotR GW minis. Mind you, I like those GW minis but this sounds so much cheaper... and you sure make them look rather good. So where is my next paycheque?

Those are really great! A really good idea too.

This is a really cool project. I look forward to seeing the whole army. Looks great so far.

I have been thinking: Why not simply play WotR in 10 mm?

I thought about it and it's possible. But I do think that the GW 25mm miniatures are cool so I wanted to collect some of them.

As I plan to collect a Rohan army in the same way, my aim is to build a whole campaign mixing the two scales.

Oh, I like them, too - they are just a tad on the expensive side for large armies. Don't get me wrong - I THINK I intend to do some WotR with GW minis at some point, but I have been very tempted to use Copplestone's 10 mm minis instead.

I agree. I think that there is a "mistake" about the real scale of War of the Ring : GW wants us to think that it's a game for biiiiiiig battles but it's "only" a game for WFB like battles.
