IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT

*IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ*

There is no club on the 8th March as the pub booked the function room out to a christening as they hadn't transferred the books from the old diary to the new one. There is a christening booked on that day which has already been paid for so there isn't much I can do. Club will resume on the 22nd March. The same issue has also occurred on the 19th April.

So to confirm:
There will be no club as previously advertised on:
8th March 2015
19th April 2015

If you know anyone who attends but doesn't have access to this page or the blog, please let them know.

I have booked up until June so this won't happen again.



Apologies once again.

Forming a Last Alliance Army

I have been working on a last alliance army for War of the Ring now for a while and decided to let people see how it's coming along.

 The army will be a combined force of elves, men and eventually dwarfs (which aren't listed below as I haven't decided what they will comprise off yet).

The list:

Elves-

• Gil-galad
• Elrond
• Glorfindel
• Celeborn
• Círdan
• Thranduil
• High elf regiment. 3 strong with captain and banner
• High elf regiment. 3 strong with captain and banner
• Rivendell guard. 3 strong
• High elf Archer regiment. 3strong with captain and banner

• High elf Archer regiment. 3strong with captain and banner

• High elf Archer regiment. 3strong with captain and banner
• Galadhrim regiment. 3 strong with shields, captain and banner

Númenór-

• Elendil
• Isildur
• Númenórean warriors. 3 strong with captain and banner
• Númenórean warriors. 3 strong with captain and banner
• Númenórean warriors. 3 strong with captain and banner
• Númenórean warriors. 3 strong with captain and banner
• Númenórean archers. 3 strong with captain and banner

The elves come in at 2990pts and the Númenóreans at 1095pts.

 A total of 4085pts.

As their are more elf units I have decided to start with one of them.

I chose to do a sword regiment first as i get more enjoyment of modelling than the painting part and i wanted to do a unit with it's front rank in the film pose.

Sticking with the the elves, the next unit I decided on was archers so that I could field an sbg army.

 

You may notice the gap next to the banner man this is for the captain. It will be a Elrond model with an armoured Glorfindel  head. I haven't painted the banner as I plan on putting a paper one over the top.

After two regiments i decided to do a character. For me the was only a choice of one to start with and that was Glorfindel (he's my favourite Tolkien character)

In the next instalment I will start on the Númenórians.
