Paint Bench: 28mm Rohan Infantry and Cavalry (Lord of the Rings)

Recently painted some more Rohan riders to go with the rest of my Rohan Cavalry. I converted some old horses into Rohan horses. A mix of Black Tree Design and Mithril horses. I have around 120 Rohan cavalry now.  I also added some more Men of Westfold to my growing foot army.

28mm Orthanc (Lord of the Rings)

Here is my Orthanc that is made of extrude foam as well. I bought this off of ebay from someone in Canada back in like 2000 or so. Its a little dusty...and has never made it to the game table. It has amazing detail and comes apart in 2 sections, and was not that expensive. I do believe I have found it on the internet before from the makers website. I am pretty sure he has his own blog and has made other LOTR terrain as well. I will have to look him up. But as far as it not being in a game, I will be changing that in the future. So many battles to play. I need a bigger game room, (with air conditioning).

 

It stands about a little over 2 feet tall.

28mm Rohan Army

Here are some photos of my 28mm Rohan Army. The figures are the old 1990's Harlequin Lord of the Rings miniatures which were out of production. The molds were owned by Black Tree Design under the name Legions of the Realm and then sold to Scotia Grendel.  The figures are hard to find and I hunted around the internet world wide for them and bought all the remaining stock from Black Tree Design before they sold the molds off.

Updated Rohan Cavalry

Men of Westfold

Men of Eastfold

Cavalry was the hardest to find and the most expensive. I found a lot of them over seas from one person at the place called the Tolkienshop.

Rohan Cavalry

I switched shields on the riders, I used the Men of Anfalas shields and placed them on the Rohan riders, I liked the sunburst shield on them better.

I also switched out some other shields for my Rohan riders. I used some Mithril Rohan shields instead this time.

I also collect Mithril Rohan cavalry but I have not painted them currently. I have probably about 12, when I get about a total of 24, I will then paint them. I do not have too much unpainted metal sitting around.
