Build me an army worthy of mordor

So, I reckoned I might as well keep a blog about my latest obsession. Lord of the Rings strategy battle game (SBG) and War of the Ring! (WotR). I have been quite busy buying stuff to get a nice big army ready for this game,  SBG doesn't really require many figures to play a game with since its more of a skirmish game. You basically pick your troops from one of a few lists and each model can move fire and fight individually. Its quite tactical at that as well. However the real thing that drew me into this was War of the Ring! It uses the same models as the SBG game but then its all on a bigger scale and you actually work with companies of 8 soldiers that sit on movement trays. Anyhow enough blabbering, thought I might as well put in some pictures!

Since my camera is rather crappy when it comes to taking pics of small things, only a few I found decent enough to post

Oh and by the way, I am playing on the evil side of things for the Legions of the White Hand (Isengard you nub)

Uruk-hai crossbows with troll in back

 

Heroes

Uruk scouts and troll

 

So as you probably noticed most of these are still bare bones plastic or metal, a few are undercoated with black and a couple actually got the paint job
Well, as I progress through painting more and more of em I'll update this blog and you guys can laugh at my awful abilities at painting! Still they always
look better painted then unpainted! Unless you are a really horid painter (or a 10 year old, which might suprise you I am not.)

Anyhow plan is to update my blog every friday with what I have actually done (if anything). Now I just gotta hope people will actually look at this xD

I've never been into the whole warhammer-esque models thing, but this is 1) lord of the rings and 2) strategy ever played 'The Battle for Middle Earth'? best RTS on the planet, as far as I'm concerned (well, the first one was anyway Tongue)

And with the ruleset that comes for War of the Ring... well I just couldn't resist. The only problem with me wanting to play it is that at the closest gaming club they only play 40k and whfb. So I have to go to the gamesworkshop in amsterdam to get games going :( Only 10 minutes longer journey though :P

Shush Tongue I'm actually pretty damn good at art.
