Middle Earth Gaming - Part 5 - Moria

The first Evil force for my Middle Earth project, albeit a not very large one, although it is led by an iconic bad guy and we'll start with him first:

The Balrog (partially painted by my son before he got bored and left me to finish it off):






The Goblin King of Moria:





I have a Cave Troll(painted by mate as one of the job lot I bought, I have just re-based it to match the other stuff):



and the rank and file, (some of these were painted by son):




And the obligatory picture of the whole force:


More bad guys next, as I've finished the final pieces for my Isengard army.

Middle Earth Gaming - Part 4 - Lothlorien

 Another small army this time, as I really just wanted a few Elves in my collection for variety and theme. 

The rules I am using (GW's- Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game) require your armies to be led by heroes so I picked up two which is more than enough for the force I have and allows me to add a few more troops down the line, and I do intend to add a few of the armoured Galadhrim at some point.

First up the two Heroes or rather Heroine & Hero:

Galadriel:





Haldir(I went for the un-armoured version to keep with the traditional wood eleven feel):




and the few Wood Elven warriors I acquired to make it a legitimate force(or more like a small allied contingent):





On to the bad guys next as other than the Fellowship(2 down 7 to go!) and my Rohan force, that's all the good guys I have(Gondor, Grey Company, Lothlorien, + Fellowship and Rohan - to do). Although I would like to add more to the Gondor army and get some small Rivendell, Fiefdoms and Dwarfen armies so I've got everything covered.
