LOTR - The war with Angmar

[DeafNala]

You have a real flair for staging BEAUTIFULLY realistic yet idyllic scenes. VERY WELL DONE!

[Steam Flunky]

As i got everything out to take some pics of my 28mm goblin warband (Skirmish Warbands thread also here on the  fantasy board) i decided to use the opportunity and do some more of my 15/18mm fantasy collection. Hope you like it.

Clash of cavalry
Cavalry from one of the Forodwaith tribes living in the Northern Wastes clash with an fast moving warband out of Angmar in a valley on the edge of the Grey Mountains.
 
The hardy Forodwaith tribes live north of the Grey Mountains where they have been fighting a battle of survival since the first Age. The harsh climate and living in the proximity of first Angband and then Angmar have created many tough and independant tribes that have fought at various times for and against the dark lords.

Wargriders are from Eureka Miniatures 18mm Fantasy range and the barbarians are from Copplestone Castings Barbarica.

Gorgeous!
 

Very inspirational.
The increasing number of these scenes being posted lately has gotten me thinking about giving it a go myself.
Hmmmm.......

Go for it!
Its a great new side to the hobby. The trick is simply to take LOTS of pics from nearer, from further away, zoomed in, with light from differant directions etc. For every 10 or 20 photos i take i get 1 or 2 that are good.
It is time consuming building the scene and as i have no hobby room it is all done on the dining table between supper and bed and afterwards it has to be cleared away so the table is free for breakfast.

Pictures and minis are great as usual.

That sounds like ALL of my attempts at taking pictures.
 

I think I will soon, just need to find the time.

  Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Will use the inspiration from this for my LPL pictures.

Cheers,

Superb staging and photography once again Robert. Wunderbar!

Cheers.
I would love to take part in this years 10th LPL but just about everything i have worth photographing was used last year or has been posted somewhere already (e.g. on the Blood Rage Thread). I am not sure that i can get 50 figures painted to a standard i am proud of, ready in time.
I believe Benbow has the same problem but as he is flying under the radar a bit at the moment (since his WIP houses for Placenoit) i think he is sneakily working hard on new miniatures!
We will see.

That is a BREATH TAKING collection of photos...the minis & terrain are GORGEOUS. As pure inspiration, FANTASTICALLY WELL DONE!

I am willing to bet he is

A catapult is brought in to support the orc attack.

Not sure who makes this set (The boars were not a part of it). Anyone know?

Dragon hunters
T.A.1966. Forodwaith hunters corner a dragon in the Withered Heath (or maybe the other way around!).

The hardy Forodwaith tribes live north of the Grey Mountains where they have been fighting a battle of survival since the first Age. The harsh climate and living in the proximity of first Angband and then Angmar have created many tough and independant tribes that have fought at various times for and against the dark lords.
