LOTR - The war with Angmar
« on: October 16, 2015, 05:49:38 PM »
After taking some photos i was very happy with of the Blood Rage miniatures i have been painting, i thought it was time to start taking some better pictures of some other collections of mine.
Here i will be posting photos of my 15mm/18mm Middle Earth collection. At this time the Éothéod (Riders of Rohan) are living in northern Rhovanion along the Vale of Anduin, the (Stoor) Hobbit folk have returned and settled around the Gladden Fields, Angmar still stands and is at war with Arnor, the Istari have arrived and the hardy Forodwaith tribes are still living north of the Grey Mountains.

I am using the Copplestone barbarian miniatures as the Forodwaith tribes as are much too good to leave out!
When i have time i will probably replace the Blood Dawn/Eureka orcs with the orcs from Khurusan miniatures which i think fit better to Middle Earth and i wont paint them green.




T.A.1966. Early Eorlingas on patrol near the northern Misty Mountains.
Bands of orcs and other fell creatures from Angmar regularly raid east over the mountains and are a constant threat to the Éothéod and the other free peoples living in northern Rhovanian.

Figures are Blue Moon Manufacturing 15mm celtic cavalry slightly converted. I added cloaks out of greenstuff.

Beautiful painting and terrain. I've no idea what Blood Rage is but it looks good.

I have another thread running here in Fantasy Adventures with the first of the Blood Rage miniatures that i have finished.

Those celts are some of the best 15mms I've seen (the horses look better than some 28mms) and the painting is byootiful, to say nothing of the scenery. This is pretty much the ideal M-E gaming scenario in my mind's eye, the thing I want to do. I'd like to shake your hand for doing what I didn't: actually getting off my backside to something about it!

Ooo yes, I like them a lot  :-* :-*

It's great to see something from LotR that isn't really in the book as well, you don't often see background material being shown  8)

cheers
