From AdamC: Riders of Rohan (60 Points)

 

Six Rohirrim from Games Workshop armed with a variety of weapons.

These two are horse archers something Tolkien never mentioned. They have "Good archers in their fashion" according to Legolas. 
Still Jackson had them use these in the movie so I guess it works.  Still its not a weapon set I ever imagined them using. 
These two are armed they way I wish all the riders were armed. The spear, javelin or lance is the weapon for a hose man.
I like that one is throwing and the other is using his as a lance (though I have repaired it twice so maybe not the best grip).
Finally we have two rides with secondary weapons.
We have an axe and a sword. Games Workshop miniature are frustrating, I always feel they should paint up better than they do. The issue may be me not them but I am always a bit disappointed with how they look when I came done. 

Still they are serviceable enough to use. Six mounted 25/28 miniatures which are 10 points each for another 60 to add to the pile.
 
=====================
Sylvain: Ha, the charge of the Rohirrim! Such a great moment of cinema. Your miniatures brings back the magic of the screen just looking at them. Your choice of color is right on. I'm sure your next game with theses horsemen will be as epic as their movie counterparts. Bien joué!
