Re: 15mm Lord of the Rings Figures

My initial thought was to paint the shields green and add them directly to my Rohan army, but instead I clipped off the kite shields and added round ones with bosses, changed out the straight pin lances for...

Re: April 20 Little Wars Con Campaign Game Notice

I am planning to attend. I will bring a 15mm Anglo-Norman army. It allows for three stands of mounted Huscarls. They are rated as “Bad Horse” in the rules but should be useful, especially so because the army will also have one stand of Norman Knights.
