Adamc: Luna the Rohirrim and the Turn of the Tide (97 points)

 Some more Tolkien Goodies 12 Rohirrim fighting on foot.  For me the moment in the Lord of the Rings that Turns the tide is when Gandalf shows up with Erkenbrand and the men of Westford to relieve the army at Helms Deep 




First up are 4 Archers I'll have to mix them in with other archers to make them work as a unit for most Wargames but they should help out nicely. 




The 8 men armed with hand weapons are great mix prefect for a point of warriors in Saga.  I used some Roman shields for a few to keep them form looking too generally Games Workshop.  They should mix well with some other Dark age troops I have without standing out too much but also they should stand own their own too.  All and all these fellow should net me 60 points plus 20 points for the Luna's theme.  They should get me a squirrel point.







Finally a bunch of terrain that is also part of a Games workshop set.  I don't have too much to say here its gray stone dry brushed a lighter gray.  It should be great for Frostgrave its 9 inches by 9 inches and about 2.25 inches high that is about 85% of a 6x6x6 cube so about 17 points.   I should now have enough terrain points to claim another Squirrel point 

A useful bit of ruins there Adam, would work for a lot more games than just Frostgrave.  Also good idea on using the men of Rohan as generic fantasy types.  I have a box of them in the depths of my basement and may turn them into generic Dark Age types.  I'll concur on the Turning of the Tide aspect of their appearance in the book, but it is a bit of stretch given that you morphed some of them.  I'll leave the Squirrel Finder Generals to evaluate your bushy tailed arboreal rodents, but note that you do have this properly labeled so will avoid a yellow card.

  3. Those old Lotr ruins are good generic stuff, even though the thickness of the stone wall might be questionable. :) And Rohans are spot on for generic Dark Age types and vice versa.

  5. I agree, the shield variations work well.
