Siege of Minas Tirith / LOTR

[Quendil]

This years project is the Siege of Minas Tirith as featured in White Dwarf 53.  I am in the process of getting all the miniatures needed and then painting them!



Army Lists can be found here http://quendilsworks.blogspot.co.uk/p/siege-of-minas-tirith.html

So far I have finished a unit of Trolls



The end in sight for the Riders of Rohan. I need to paint 10 more to get to the 55 needed for the project.  I still need to paint Eowyn, Eomer and a different Theoden.  I have painted up Erkenbrand and a selection of riders which matching coloured shields as I want to give the impression of different divisions.  Also have included what royal guard I have.  Hopefully should be able to finish the Rohan force next weekend.



There are more pics on my blog

Now THAT takes me back to my mis-spent youth!  Tried it many moons ago with the old Minifigs range.  Didn't get far collecting them on my paper round money though

I bet you didn't. I didn't manage to get that many in the 80's either but have been collecting ever since.  I managed to buy loads of the new GW stuff a few years ago so I have enough figures.  My issues is trying to get them all painted up and not get sidetracked by other projects!  I also have quite a few other makes of LOTR which I hope to use as well

I've got that issue!  I believe the article was written by a certain Mr. Dever, unless I'm very much mistaken.  Keep us posted on your progress.

If you are ever in Scarborough.....

We don't play a lot of LoTR now, although we used to have quite a few players, but have just bought a new piece of terrain to use at club.

A Minas Tirith backdrop.
The section of Mount Mindolluin is roughly 6 feet wide, 5 feet high and stretches forward about 30 inches.
We have five levels of the city, each about 9 inches high, that stack around the mountain like a crazed wedding cake, and then the outer curtain wall which is just 5 inches high but 7 inches thick and 6 feet wide.

So it should cover a table area of about four feet by six feet.
Needs a bit of tidying up and a few minor repairs or alterations.

It was on ebay, item 330759425740

We'll start building siege towers and trebuchets in the autumn.

Haven't been there in years, long way from Cornwall. Love to see pics of you new terrain

What a wonderful project. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of it. Your unit of 6 trolls is quite a mean group. And your Rohan host looks like the real thing. So I'll be waiting - breathless - excited and ready for more...

There's one pic on ebay, but until we get a chance to put it together (and then start tidying it up) it may be a whilr before we get any pictures.

Amazing army and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more!
