Rivendell Guard - Pt.4 - Completed? Far from it…
Completed army shot for the Rivendell Guard; this is all of the original force that was mostly donated by my friend. However I’ve become completely hooked with the system thanks to the enthusiasm of my mate, actually being able to get games in and the awesome community. As such I’m already working to expand this army out:
- The Rivendell Guard will be receiving some reinforcements in the form of Elladan & Elrohir (classic sculpts), Estel (young Aragorn), Cirdan, a mounted Glorfindel (based on one of the armoured twins on horseback) and eight regular guys to act as dismounts for the Knights. Bilbo is also featured in the Throne of Skulls 2017 Rivendell army list, so I’m doing him as I feel I should paint at least one hobbit.
- As I already have most of the members I’m finishing off the White Council with Saruman the Wise, Gandalf the Grey, Radagast the Brown (based on the Sharky model), Galadriel and Celeborn.
- With Radagast and Bilbo opening up the option for a Radgast’s Alliance/Wanderers in the Wild contingent there will be a pair of Great Eagles making an appearance.
- After the awesome weekend at W.A.R. of the Ring 2017 in Reading my best friend and I are looking to do a lot more tournaments. Top of the list is Throne of Skulls 2018. I’ve already picked up some themed dice, counters and objective markers and am looking at a display board that will double up for Armies on Parade 2018 too.
- I’m currently working on some basic terrain pieces to make our games more thematic. The Ruins of Osgiliath set from GW is fantastic value and very versatile.
Awesome! Wizards are going to be pretty brutal, especially when you have multiple magic users in your army. Just remember to stick to the objective and your should have some insane board control.
Also, definitely agree with you on the ruins of osgiliath set, they are a fantastic deal for what you get, I picked up 3 of them last month!
