So, time for my dragon knight to prove himself, together with some others.
I don't like the easterling drum, so, can I give him a horn instead of a drum?

^ Mounted Easterlings was what I was thinking too!
I think you can give him a horn as then it would still count as command due to them selling hornblowers in the command box sets

As Legolas31 said, that would be fine and still count :)

Nope, the March challenge thread will be posted on March 1st. That thread will be where you post your proof pictures and your final pictures.

Anyhow here's my Gondor Fantastic Four while I anxiously await the start. Lead by no other than the ugliest commander in Gondor's history: Cirion. I find the pose of the captain to be looking quite awkward standing on that orc corpse. And no this is not a proof pic, that will come when they're primed and entered into the official challenge thread.

Would it be a good idea to make some easterling hand gunners, as I read that they MAY have used them when looking at their other technology and the people tolkien based them on(the east had awesome technology round the dark ages)?

Nice set of figures for the competition you have there!
I know what you mean about the captain, I personally converted the orc into a staircase ( In my W.i.p)
Good luck :legolas:

It seems very unlikely to me. Gunpowder was an invention of Sarumans, and the Rohirrim clearly did not know it at the time of Helms Deep. If the Easterlings had had such a devastating weapon, surely they would've used them against the Gondorians, who would have told Rohan about it for sure. Conclusion: I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't even have profiles for them. And it would look Warhammerish.

Actually, Sauron invented it. It was used to blow holes in the Ramas.

Was it? Well, anyway, my point still stands. And it was still very primitive, not yet at the level needed for handguns

Ya, most everything attibuted to Saruman was actually originally created by Sauron.
