Rohirim charge

I have just finally collected enough figures to create an impressive Rohirim army.

I have been very reluctant to create a Rohirim army that is what alot of other people do.. pretty much a whole bunch of Rohirm on foot.

I have admitedly collected a few footmen in my endevours to get Horse Lords however.

So as I am nearing the completion of my Haradrim cavalry I am soon (read as “have”) started on 26 mounted Rohirim. That will include 2 Heroes. Probbly need a third for the new source book system of having 1 hero per 10 models. (I’m still struggling with how that affects a Moria Goblin swarm?)

This will be an interesting task as I am going to ue the airbrush alot. Especially for horses and the Rohirim cloaks and cloths. Mostly as a time saver.

Ther will be some conversion required and alot of repair as these are all 2nd hand models that ostly suffer from missing spears and broken bows.

I will edit in some photos later but ther is a small (read as big ) army amassing from this.

I’m hoping we might try some games over Christmas time if were lucky.

LOTR SBG

There are 12 Haradrim Raiders.
4 archer riders (red saddle cloth)
7 Lancer riders (3 black, 3 purple and 1 light blue saddle cloths)
1 banner bearer with light blue saddle cloth (other blue horse to be a chieftain when converted)

Below.. some horses painted 90%

Here is the magnets and the drill I used.
The magnets are 2mm diameter by 1mm thick disk neodymium magnets. The drill I use raw (won’t fit in my pin vice) but the GW plastic is just the right density to be easily drilled buy hand. Thanks GW plastics Industrial Chemists.

Skaven Rat Ogre

Skaven Rat Ogre, or at least one of the two from the Island of Blood box set. Relatively straight forward but for the copious flesh colour which can be tricky. Not sure I did the best job of it but it’s good enough. Deviated from the translucent skin effect that the GW painters employed showing raw muscle and sinew. I didn’t really think about it until I checked the book later and went “oh yeah” but by then it was too late. Good thing too because not sure my skills were up to it. The black fur in the photo looks a bit ‘not painted’ it’s less so in real life but you do get that general impression. Might have to highlight more with blue or grey. I don’t like painting a lot of black for that reason, probably should have gone for brown fur.
