10mm LotR - The Fellowship - Gondorian farm complete!

[Admiral Benbow]

Ahh, another great thread to follow ... Nice work, James!

Excellent brushwork on those little nasties 

What kind of forces are you chaps aiming at actually?

[Vermis]

Pendraken - scale wise their historicals mix great with Coppelstone and GW. But Pendraken's fantasy figures can be quite big, far more 12mm than 10mm, and as such fit with Kallistra scale wise. In separate units the differences are far less noticeable.

Copplestone are fairly big too. I was a bit disappointed that the orcs looked like GW orcs (black orcs, even) beside my BoFA elves. But tomayto tomahto.

The pic looks good enough. Nice painting on that lot, especially the skintone.

Nice orcs James.

Yes, by GW I was meaning the Warmaster figures - not the BoFA ones. The BoFA plastics are very slight in build and a bit shorter than most 10mm.

You definitely have a range of sizes with 10mm

BoFA <  WM, Copplestone, Magister Militum, Pendraken Historical, Eureka  < Kallistra, Pendraken Fantasy.

I use all of them on the same table though

We'll go until we get bored  It won't be long for Nick though 

Started on a small farm for the Pelennor fields 



Single bricks for the outer walls but probably render for the main buildings. Thinking some sort if Mediterranean look 

cheers

Instead of using WA use directly BOFA rules which are Warmaster specific for LOTR. Here you can see a  BOFA battle report using those rules: http://javieratwar.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/the-battle-of-five-armies.html
Good luck with your project

I'm using the BOFA rules they came out between original warmaster and warmaster ancients they got rules for Beorn in bear form.

[marcusluis]

I use mayhem rules which are good...http://bombshell-games.com/mayhem/

[Vermis]

I'd second Mayhem as an option, with all those unit creation rules. Not so many specific rules for Macedonian phalanxes or Roman triari etc. like WMA, but I haven't noticed too many of those in Middle-Earth.

Check out Kallistras Orc Range some great figures...

I have about 1000 of the buggers painted on Warmaster bases if you need to borrow them   

[OSHIROmodels]

About two thirds of the way through the farm but still unsure as to the roof type 






Balconies  Roofs, groundwork and other details to finish off yet.

cheers

[Sangennaru]

red halfround tiles, absolutely! And for 10mm you can easily find the styrene sheets!

[Mason]

Sweet!
 

As for roofing....take a butchers at some pictures of Byzantium villages.
They should provide plenty of inspiration.

I think individual hand cut tiles would look great!
