Re: 15mm Lord of the Rings Figures

This tower will serve as a Triumph! camp representing Dol Guldur, the Necromancer's Tower located on the southern edge of Mirkwood. It is a $5 wooden lighthouse model from Hobby Lobby with the railings removed, the cupola shifted off-center, and a small tower added. The small tower is a piece from t...

Re: 15mm Lord of the Rings Figures

This camp is for the Elves of Mirkwood. The look is inspired by a painting of the ElvenKings Gate (done by J.R.R. Tolkien himself) showing it as a relatively simple gate in the side of a tall wooded hill: https://i.postimg.cc/Xv2GjFdw/IMG-7329.jpg It is a simple camp but should look the part once it...

Re: Spartacus vs Rome, 73 B.C.

I took the Romans and my nephew took the army of Spartacus for another game. There was a steep hill in the center of the board that had a significant effect on the battle. This time the Romans (bottom of the photo) deployed in traditional fashion with the legionaries in line and the light troops ext...

25mm Orc Army for Historicon

This army, in 25mm scale, is going to Historicon with me later this month for the big Lord of the Rings game. They are supposed to be orc and goblin forces from Mount Gundabad at the very north part of the map. These are official Lord of the Rings sculpts produced by the long-gone Heritage brand and...

Re: 15mm Lord of the Rings Figures

This special terrain piece (The Dead Marshes) and a Gollum marker will be part of the campaign game. Gollum started as a ghoul figure from Splintered Light that was suitably lanky and stooped over. I shortened his arms and legs then gave him some rags to wear. The head was sculpted from Green Stuff....

Re: 15mm Lord of the Rings Figures

This Balrog is based on the vision of the Brothers Hildebrandt, which was published in their official Lord of the Rings calendars in 1977 and 1978. I had both those calendars and they set my ideas of what the characters in the books should look like. Their depiction was much more human-like than mos...

15mm Goats - Falcon Miniatures

I bought several bags of Falcon brand miniatures at a wargame convention here in Texas and found this unusual set of goats. The line of goats were cast as a single piece. There was a separate figure with horns. An unusual casting choice, but it works well. Falcon figures are effectively out of produ...

Re: Special Event: Battle for Middle Earth, Historicon 2023

What are the size limits for camps? I would assume it is just double what is in the rules but so want to make sure.
