Golfimbul is no longer a legal piece as he is not in any of the Warbands army lists, he also wasn't in any of the LoME army lists, and hasn't been a legal piece for many years.

GothmogtheWerewolf, you are right. Only "The scouring of the Shire" has the profile of Golfimbul. I have not bought the new books, except for the "Fallen Realms", so I did not know that he is not included in any book anymore.
SidTheSloth, thank you for your nice words.
samoht, thank you for your comment and for your idea. So, Widowmaker with S=5, D=6 and "Terror" as a Special Rule will be a VERY VERY frightening opponent!

Hey, I like that paint job, has a really dark and siinister feel to him, excellent eyes, (all 4 of them) and fangs (all 4 jaws of them), and facial expression. Though the Warg is bald, and I do't see the point of that shield really.

Thank you for the comments. I gave Shaman the shield to match with the rest nineteen riders. Each one of them has one. Secondly, me and my friends, we play for fun, we do not take part in tournaments, we do not play in clubs, etc. So, although it is not written for a Shaman to carry a shield, we accept it. For just 5 points, the cost of a shield for a hero, Elf and Dwarf archers or Dwarves with throwing weapons need a 6 to wound him, instead of 5+.

The shield qualm actuallyy had nothing to do with that it is illegal in the games, though I do agree that they seem to insane and reliant upon their faith in Sauron to bother with ashield. I actually meant it's a bit pointless being on his back, as he can't hold it, and he already has hevay armour underneath that cloak, which wouldn't be able to flow properly.

Very nice all the same though 8)

mastermanje, thank you for the comments. GothmogtheWerewolf, you are right again, but both of his hands hold something. So, I put the shield on his back. I have done this before with Ugluk, the dunlending drummer and the kettledrummer. For us it is ok, we accept that each one of them carries a shield. Sometimes we count as shieldless even miniatures that have a shield and they carry it on their hands. Just we agree to all these before the game starts. By the way, riders of Rohan with a bow have shields hung from their saddles as well some heroes of Rohan. I remember once we played with such miniatures and we considered that during fights they can benefit from the shields but they cannot during the shooting phase (when they are the target of course).

I see, it looks ok on Ugluk, and the middle guy, but I think the warg drummer suffers as much as your Shaman. Sorry if I keep beiing negative.

Also, nice way to incorporate it into the rules. And come to think of it, I think one of the official Corsair Arbalester has a shield on his back too.

I try to make three Khandish chariots, one for the king and two for his Variags. I use TAG mongol horses because they look ok for the job! The king is a TAG mongol general as well. The chariots are plastic gum boxes! Wheels belong to 1/72 napoleonic plastic cannons. Needs a lot of imagination and below you can see the first results. Wish me good luck! C&C are welcome as always. For more just check here: http://dramatickatastases.blogspot.gr/

Agreed.

Good luck with finishing them, you're very good at this sort of ting, so I do expect much.

Do you have to buy all those bases though?

:lol: Despite the obviously intended humour, that makes perfect sense for an Orc :D

I now accept your shield 8)

Thank you all for your nice words! I have to try harder now with all these expectations.
GothmogtheWerewolf I bought the set of three round bases. You can see it here:

I had a feeling you did, I saw them when looking for the large oval base that SuicidalMarsbar wants for his dragon.

Good luck with the Chariots 8) ... and hurry up :wink:
