Hello readers,
When I got back from vacation Saturday morning, my family all went to sleep and I stayed up and hobbied around (because once I'm up, I'm up). For today's rather eclectic post, we're going to be focusing on some conversions and new arrivals that will be seen in the upcoming THRO tournament and quite possibly the next GT...we'll have to see.
1) White Council List Preview
My list is finalized on the tournament post (see link above) and with the exception of Elrond (borrowing him from Glenstorm), I now have all the models in the army. Here's a quick look at them:
3) New Arrival: King's Champion Conversion
In the next few weeks, I'm hoping to get a few games in with some buddies before the tournament - don't know if the full write-up will be on the blog, but we'll see. After THRO, we'll be doing some in-depth tactica on dragons and providing some final product updates on the units you've seen in this post. Until next time, happy hobbying!

Every game I've played with Erestor, I've proxied someone in for him. As I noticed how often he showed up in my sample lists, I decided I should probably get him. Now that I own him, I'm really excited to use him in the upcoming THRO tournament. Hard-core GW gamers will recognize, however, that this model isn't the GW Erestor model. He's actually purchased from a company called Dark Sword Miniatures - they sell single models who are only slightly larger than the GW LOTR collection for slightly less money. The detail is incredible, as can be see in this picture and I hope many more. Erestor wields throwing daggers that have bonuses to wound in melee and range combats, and also has the ability to wield an Elven blade if he chooses - very versatile and I like the pose that the model came with. |
One of my buddies at this tournament is borrowing my Rohan riders and converted Eorl model. You can see a work-in-progress image of the mounted model on another post on the blog, but I've been taking my time deciding how to convert this one. Theoden is a great hero and all, but I didn't see his role in the Rohan-Fiefdoms list that I'm building (target date is Christmas for completion, more on that list after THRO). Thanks to a spare spear model from Glenstorm, my Eorl model just needs an awesome shield and he's good to go. |
Oh, it was requisitioned for basing additions...yeah, you're not getting any more info on this guy until after THRO. :) |

DRAGON!!! DRAGON!!! :D I'm excited to see your posts on this model post-tourney - I'll never run one, but it will be fun to see, :)
ReplyDeleteProjects are looking good! Keep up the good work!
You have reminded me, I still must try out my Dragon in a game sometime... but they are a lot of points!
ReplyDeleteDragons are a *ton* of points (which is why I'll never field one), though I've seen them used effectively for crowd control. With the Tough Scales and Flying upgrades a dragon can be really hard to keep down, and they can keep an enemy battle line or cavalry contingent busy (if not in tatters) for the entire game. But yes - they are _so_ expensive, :-/
DeleteAfter THRO, I'm going to walk through builds you an do at 300pt to reduce that cost - you can still field three full warbands when taking this guy.
