A little taste of my latest blog post. See full post with more pics here: mars-miniatures.blogspot.com
Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day… a red day… ere the sun rises!
Hey there folks. Its me again, Mar, your host, with a great post filled with pics of 10mm goodness!
What have I got today? Copplestone 10mm of course! Some "not" Riders of Rohan and some Rohan style buildings from Total Battle Minis. My Rohirrim force consists of 3 units of cavalry, 2 units of light horse archers, and 1 veteran guard unit. For commanders, I have Theoden, Eomer, Grimbold, and Lady Eowyn. Below are not only the pics of the minis and the buildings, but also a faux battle report between Rohan and an invading army of Orcs across the Fords Of Isen.
Here is the overview of the mustering
Lady Eowyn commands some horse archer units
And now, the faux battle report… an overview from the Rohan commander. On the left is Eowyn with her light horse archers. In the center reserve near the town is the King and his royal guard. In front of him is Eomer with 2 units of cavalry. And to the right doughty Grimbold holds the flank with cavalry and some light horse
The Uruks are disordered from the river crossing and are vulnerable to attack
Overhead shot of the main action at the center. Even with Eomer and Grimbold about to regain the crossings, even more orc columns are moving forward! The Orcs will win eventually through sheer force of numbers.
Rohirrim! TO THE KING!
Preview of the next post:
Next up on the docket, I will take a break from 10mm Middle-Earth, to build up an army for 10mm Dungeons & Dragons! I hope to someday use AD&D 2e Birthright and mesh it with Warmaster for a D&D style mass combat hybrid.
So whats my first 10mm D&D army, you ask? You remember my little Mindflayer, dont you? My Magister Militum order arrived and its got alot of minions for him. Some Quaggoths – bears with spears, axes and rock-throwing units. Some Githyanki – dagger wielding light infantry with psionic powers. And some Bullywugs – frogs with crossbows, and some riding on dinosaurs too! The Illithids are down to get ill in a major incursion on this very blog. Stay tuned my friends, until next time!
Respect,
Mar
