Build Me an Army Worthy of Mordor

Now say it in your best Sauron voice :)

This is my current project, an Isengard War of the Ring army. I have the first 1000pts all finished and played my first game with the fully painted army the other night. After hacking through 320 Moria Goblins the mighty Fighting Uruk-Hai stood battered but victorius!






Currently the forces of the White Hand consist of;

• Sauruman of the Many Colours
• I cant belive its not Thyrdon (stand in Uruk, no weak men in my army!)
• 3 Companies of Uruk Hai with Swords and Shields
• 3 more Companies of Uruks as above
• 3 Companies of Uruk Hai with Crossbows and led by a Captain
• 4 Companies of Urak Hai Scouts with Bows
• 1 Company of Beserkers
• Isengard Troll

The models are all bog standard and not converted (which is a change for me!) and as I will never play the Battle game I have decided to model the mins staight onto custom MDF bases. I will be making modelled counters for casualties but at the moment I just use glass stone things.

They are painted pretty fast with an undercoat stage, base colours, Devlen Mud wash, and highlights. I have used a mix of White Hand symbols and S -runes for the markings.

I have textured the bases with Sellys No More gaps and sand, kitty litter and bark (for the rock outcrops) Its then flocked with a mix of GaleForce9 Summer, Winter and Autumn flocks and small clumps of Foliage.

Its heaps of fun to use and I am currently painting up the extra companies to take it to 1500pts
