Hi

Just got back from our latest battle at the East Grinstead War Gamers Club, Dwarves v Angmar. I will post a battle report once I have written it, in the meantime, please have a look at my complete 3000 point Dwarf army:

Dwarf Army:

I am working through both painting and photographing all my armies, so will have more to come. These are the armies completed so far:

Misty Mountains:

OMG, this is amazing collection. How long do you collect, paint these? Where do you keep the armies, you could show us a photo about your shelves. :)
Im really jealous for your Mordor army, the number of your troops almost twice bigger, than mine.

I agre with the above, in fact i'm even more jealous than he is, i long to play a 6,000 pt battle. One can only marvel at the amount of money you have to buy all these, the time and skill put into painitng all these, and the amount of fun you must have using them. I absolutely love your site! I am awaiting oyour repot to because i want to see a huge Angmar army. Damn it, i wish i could sswap placers with you for a day.

Ooops, I think I have missled you slightly.... The above is my FULL dwarf army, we played a 1000 point battle as Craig is new to WOTR - he used to play LOTR SBG, but only just started WOTR.... We have a huge battle planned or Feb, siege of Helms Deep (we have a scale model) and the siege of Osgiliath - these will be 5000 a side (which is why with the planning it will be in Feb a 2 day event)! And I still loads of figures to paint.

Sorry for any confusion, the army post is to showcase my army....

That is really impressive. I would love to come to your Gaming Club, but unfortunately it's too far. :(

I only wish that I lived in your area. I have massive armies of Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Harad and Easterling forces, with nobody to play. I have not counted what I can field in terms of points, but I have enough to do at least a 20,000 point battle, and all of it is painted.

Don't really have any photos of all my stuff laid out, but here is a photo of about 3/4 iof my Mordor troops:

To this lot I have another 5,000+ points

Fantastic! And again another avid WotR fan with no one to battle....

I joined a 40k club as some of them used to play LotR SBG and have persuaded them to start playing WotR so I get a regular WotR battle. I too have a fully painted Mordor, Angmar, Misty mountains and dwarf army.... Just about to paint similar sized armies of (in order of painting) Rohan, Gondor, isengard and the fallen realms... A bit of a task but I love he game and painting models, so a challenge not a chore! Check out our blog I created with the painted figures.

Good luck finding someone to battle.... Perhaps post on the "find an opponent" part of this forum?! And keep up the good work with the armies!
:yay:

I suggest that you should make campaigns to advertise the game. Go to a club, take there your armies. If they will see those, they will probably want to start it.
This is a very usuall thing that we lotr players find hard opponents. But dont be sad, our game is still fantastic.
We have to make events, to show the world how great game is ours.
In your case, guys, it is very easy to make 2-3 battletable full with painted, game ready armies.

In my country we do the same. There are about 8-10 players who are always playing with huge armies. We also teach the beginners, so our number is slowly increasing.

My story is the same, how I started this hobby. First I bought modells, I painted those. When enough figures were painted, I met whit a guy, who teached me the basic rules. Now Im a fan player also. You must advertise the hobbi among the others. :mrgreen:

I need to find the motivation to paint my Rohan and Gondor armies, which are both 4000+ points, I have them laid on and built, some undercoated, but the problem is looking at the huge mass of troops and thinking.... Where do I start!

Start with the basic warriors. Paint a box worth, then paint a hero or some cavalry. Rinse and repeat.

I recommend that after you paint each batch of troops, paint a hero or something as a reward.

Could I ask, how much painting do you do a week? How long does it take for example to paint a company of 8 men?

I like the idea of mixing batches of troops with heros to break up the time.
I used to work shifts so would paint for a couple of hours per day for a few days each week, but I haven't painted since before Christmas.
I think I will leave Rohan for now as I just don't feel the love with the figures, the collection is now pretty much full, just not convinced I like them enough to battle with (especially after this weeks battle).
So I think I will unpack Gondor and paint some warriors and heros in batches to see if that helps :-)
Thanks

It depends. If you paint them one by one to Heavy Metal Team standard using a zillion mixes and shades, weeks. If you are like me (basecoat+devlan mud=finished mini), then two-three hours.
