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.

Middle Earth Gaming - Part 3 - The Grey Company

One of my favourite parts of LotR is when the Grey Company turn up(not that they appear much in the rest of the story, but still, you just know they kick ass!!) The non-appearance in the films is one of the few really disappointing omissions, but at least GW did them justice.

Just nine minis make up this small (but deadly!) force, ideally I will eventually add some more rangers but I want to ensure I pick up the other pack so as not to have any duplicates.

Aragorn first:

I'd like an alternative Aragorn with a cloak, but this one will have to do for now. 

Legolas & Gimli next:

Elladan and Elrohir:(Bugger, due to these pics, I've noticed that I've missed a bit of hair on the side of Elladans face which I will now have to correct!)

Halbarad (don't look at the standard I'm absolutely terrible at that sort of stuff!)

Rangers of the North:

The  whole "Army":

Cracking on with more Middle Earth stuff at the moment, as very small Lothlorien force and the final minis for both my Isengard and Moria forces.

Middle Earth Gaming - Part 2 - The Dead of Dunharrow

 A small allied contingent this time, comprising of one original box of metal miniatures plus a sprue of the new plastic's and I have to say the new plastic minis are just as good if not better. I just plan on adding a banner bearer at some point and this allied force will be complete:

The King of the Dead:

The old metal minis:

The newer plastics:

The whole force:

Happily working my way through more Middle Earth stuff at the moment, some more good guys next though sadly not in the movies.
