That looks awesome! Some guys have all the fun! Now, as a Warmaster guy myself I would have chosen WM's rules over P&S, but I won't hold that against you.

Enormously impressive battle! I have to keep telling myself I'm too old to start collecting figures for something like this. My assessment has been that Tolkien was not total consistent in some of his descriptions that you would use to set up the battlefield. It is interesting to see how you chose to recreate the mountain with its spurs and the valley. Grelber

Probably had all those figures painted in, what, a couple of weeks right?

Wait! Where are the Elves leaping over the Dwarven phalanx to attack the orcs? JK. Beautiful array!

Very nicely done. One of my favorite battles, though I use GW's official 10mm boxed Warmaster variant. Great terrain, too!

I played out the BoFA around 20 years ago. It was a blast. Your game was quite spectacular. It is a fun battle to recreate. Cheers!
