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)
