The Glorious (Not Quite) Dead

 

A quick follow up post to my Into The West write up. Here are a few more pictures of the Rohan army I took to the event. The project as a whole isn't quite done. I still have a couple more named heroes to paint (Eowyn for one) and more infantry. 

To start with, this army was a junk lot I got on the cheap. It was in pretty bad shape and I had to gather some extra parts for repairs. All the spears were replaced with steel ones and every plastic horse had to have it's ankle fixed, not to mention the paint stripping stage. The Royal Guard were bought second hand from a mate that was down sizing his collection, but Gamling is the only model that was bought brand new. Apparently that banner is quite good in game.

Gamling was the difficult bit for this army. I had to free-hand the same banner, BOTH SIDES, twice. Looks good in my humble opinion, but it isn't something I'm eager to repeat.

One last note on the tournament. Everyone attending got a couple of freebies; a dragon hatchling and 1" widget. Both of these are going to get some use, I'll have the dragon done as an objective marker.

Back to painting some marines for a bit. I have a deadline to meet in march and the latest points update only increased my work load for it. Bet get on with it :)
