For the annual LOTR tourny in January "Into The West" I've settled on taking a Dunland army this time. As a project it sits as a cool contrast to my Rohan army from the previous years and I've been sat on the miniatures in the lead pile for a few years now.
Where my Rohan Army was bright mail and summer flowers, the Dunlanders are the complete opposite; dark greys, dirty metal and bitter winters really make these guys look like they have solid reason to pick a fight with Rohan over land disputes.
During early stages of list building, I found I needed a few extra models to fill the ranks, never knowingly passing a chance to do some customising, I converted some Ruffians into Wild Men. The army will have a few extra conversions before it's done, but this it for now.
The army I want to run is using the miniatures I have to hand with only a few bits specifically bought in to make up the points. As a result of this decision, the bulk of the army is going to be wild men rather than warriors. During early stages of list building, I found I needed a few extra models to fill the ranks, never knowingly passing a chance to do some customising, I converted some Ruffians into Wild Men. The army will have a few extra conversions before it's done, but this it for now. This at least should give me a numbers advantage if nothing else and gives me a solid reason to use the Wild man Oath Maker which is just a very cool character piece in my opinion.
That's what I have for now. More unwashed hairy blokes next time.
