[Dr. The Viking]

Last time we played janner brought all his beard and fielded this and that horror of Rohan. So in order to actually cause a casualty sooner or later I thought I better paint up a troll.




Would you like to know more?

I have a couple of Ents. But I don't really know where to go from there. I like Radagast and Gandalf, but I also really like Isengard.

You could always build an army of Huorns. They're not in the film I know, but some evil tree men to sort out the Isengard army would be cool.

You could use old metal dryads from GW for them I think. And some other tree men.

What rulebook(s) would I need to start out?

[Dr. The Viking]

What rulebook(s) would I need to start out?

I think Huorns would just use the regular ent rules which are... uhm bum... I actually don't know where they are these days. But we wouldn't use te Hobbit rules if we met up anyway, but rather the outdated (OOP) Strategy Battle Game.

So in essence you can just make a tree army and use radagast and gandalf with it and we'll sort it. We could even plagiarize doom hippie and make some of our own characters modelled on others.

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

The troll is fantastic.

I'm a big fan of the kit and all the options it provides.

[janner]

Oh, nice Troll Dr 

[Doomhippie]

Yep, agreed! That troll looks really good. I like what you did with its armor and the skin tone you used. Nice one, Dr.V

[Dr. The Viking]

Painted another one today. Tried to use oil colours, but I have a lot to learn to actually benefit from using them...
