Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all of my readers, old and new. Thank you for dropping by and taking a peek into my little world of gaming. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and get everything you ask for in these difficult and austere times. Let us all be thankful for our families and friends and all the good things that they bring to us.

Warriors of Rohan
I haven't made an update in a short while, but I have been busy painting some Lord of the Rings miniatures. I managed to finish up 36 Warriors of Rohan today. These, along with the Riders of Rohan from last year, make up teh core of a Rohan army I am trying to put together. I just need to paint up the elites and heroes now (next year's project?).
I managed to pick up all of these plastic miniatures quite cheaply when the Battlegames in Middle Earth magazine ended its production run. The distributor sold off their excess stock at a knock down price. As a result, I was able to pick up the core of several armies including; Rohan, Gondor, Isengard and Mordor.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the warriors I finished up this morning. First up is a unit with gold/bronze(?) embellishments on their helmets ...
And from above ...
This is the second unit with a red theme on their helmets...
And the first two units from above...
Here is the thrid unit with a green theme to their helmets to show them apart...
And finally, all three units from above...
I will probably get a few pictures of the entire army when completed sometime in the future. If I can get the elites (Outriders, Royal Guard, captains and banner bearers) done next, I will finalise the army with the heroes (Theoden King, Theodred, Eomer, Erkenbrand, Grimbold, Gamling, Hama and Eowyn). I still have just a few more minis to buy to round out this collection but it is about 90% there.
So, what else have I been up to? Well, I undercoated dozens of Norman horses, the rest of the Splintered Lands Druid's Children and put a bit more paint on the ghouls that will accompany the barbarian magician for Hordes of the Things.
