New Mordor Army

Well I had a fair idea of the construction and units in the various Mordor armies from Legions of Middle Earth. I have always liked the Minas Morgul theme so will probably base something around that. As mentioned in an earlier post there is no buy button anymore for the Mordor sourcebook amongst others and having seen very few turning up on Ebay I decided to buy one. I went with Maelstrom Games as they are coming out cheaper than the standard Games Workshop RRP and with free delivery and loyalty bonus, plus extra summer discount.

So have a variety of orcs, warg riders, a troll, and some Morgul knights to work with so far. As well as the odd Ringwraith of course. You can't keep a good Nazgul down. Have two more ebay orders to come in one for a Mordor force and one for a rohan one. So I'll draw a line under the bidding then and take stock of where we are. Oh forgot the new Mordor army included Sauron.

Legolas Greenleaf

Well got some of the first figures in from Ebay for the LOTR strategy battle game. They are a mixed bag and I am always amazed at how badly painted and prepared most of the figures are. It is as if no one has ever seen White Dwarf or the Games Workshop website and haven't a clue. Learn how to use a brush. The most overused and innacurate statement on Ebay for Games Workshop figures is Pro Painted! Anyway this is the first example, I am going to tackle, our little pointed ear friend Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood and son to Tharanduil. He appears to have green hair in the figure that I have got, so much work to be done to turn him into a decent figure again. I got the whole Fellowship on their presentation stand as one of my first purchases and I will go through the reasons for which models I got in a future post.

Slannesh Warhammer Army

As mentioned before have built up quite a few Games Workshop armies over the years, and one that I have for Warhammer is the that of the Slannesh Chaos Champion Valsav of the Hrud. Yet again since it has been built up over time it has a number of old models in it as well as some of the newer ones. So for example the Chaos Lord incarnation of Vaslav is the latest Chaos Slannesh hero, but the Demon Prince alternative uses the original Keeper of Secrets. I also have some of the first Chaos Warriors from the first box set in there. Below are two figures, mostly finished although the bases need more work. A Chaos Warrior and a Marauder. The Chaos Warriors are using a basic black scheme for speed of painting whilst the Marauders unifying element is the red and white shield design. Warhammer Chaos Warrior Slannesh Chaos Marauder

Old Apothecary

I do have one of the new style ones that I need to paint up, but this is an original guy. Still have the White Dwarf article somewhere where they were introduced along with Imperial Guard Medics (have to finish and photograph that army at some point as well). The only Dark Angels iconography is in the painted pin shoulder pad. Uses a blue white rather than just using whites and greys. Dark Angels Apothecary
