As the title states really.

Oh, and roughly how much is painted?

Ill go first. I have roughly (including doubles/triples) 13000 points of lotr but, regrettable, only around 10% of that is painted (which is poor painting at best)

Now you go!

Well, I usually have a rule that every time I get a box, I HAVE to paint it before expanding.

Only a few of my guys aren't (~10%).

I have a 500 point Moria force (with plenty to spare).

500 points of Uruk-hai (some of my scouts aren't painted).

500 points of Elves (I'm redesigning the banner, so that's not complete)

Some Rohan that are used to proxy (all painted).

500 points of Angmar (all painted).

Also:

A Balrog and Sauron, but they rarely see the glory of battle (I don't like playing with Balrogs, they aren't that fun to use).

Then I have the startings of a 40k CSM force, they're painted, but under revision.

around 200 LotR models.
Never counted points.

Well I dont know the number since I havent counted them, but I recon its around 200 may. Maybe more or less accurate

I have the same rule now a days but I got all my models 11-9 years ago when I was around 9-11 and my brother (who also collected) was 6-8, when I didn't have the patience to paint them and it all got a bit out of control. I would paint them all but have you ever looked at 700ish unpainted models? It's pretty unnerving.

I have Sauron as well but I have yet to use him since I have started playing, is he equally unenjoyable to play with?

1800 points of Easterlings, Orcs, Morgul Knights, Ringwraiths and a Mûmak Combined.

Around 56 Easterlings, lots of mixed gear, including Heros, Drummers, Hornblowers, Captains, and War priests. 6 Morgul Knights including a Commander, 26 Morranon Orcs with Captains, Drummers, 5 Nažgul, including Witch King, Dark Marshall, 13 Haradrim with Chieftain and a Mûmak.

I have counted them now, and I have 160 Easterlings in total, I also have 20 Khand riders unasembeld, most of my Easterlings are footmen and roughly 30 are Kataprakts

I wish I had a Mûmak! Are they fun to play with?

Wow, that is a lot of Easterlings! The most I have of any one type is 110 goblins!

I only have 8 Easterlings with 2 Easterling captains but they are all the original metal ones, not the newer plastic ones. How to Easterlings play? Similar to Gondor I imagine? (Hope that didn't tread on any toes! )

Thats pretty sweet What models do you have?

I've never used the Mumak, though the Easterlings are effectively Gondor with their Pike special rule.

blood reaper wrote:I've never used the Mumak, though the Easterlings are effectively Gondor with their Pike special rule.

How come you've never used it?

And I guessed they would be

It's hard to transport and I rarely find opponents to play with in such large games, though my Morgul Knights do a fine job, I play a friend who uses Dol Armoth Knights which fall quickly in the face of 'Terror'.

He's more entertaining, I am always near a heart attack when he's down to one wound.

And it's always just a soldier that slays him.

I also have 2 friends (brothers) that each got every starter set, and then some.

That's a LOT of models.

Yeah transport must be difficult, it is a strange shape compared to most things and unlucky for him (I think) I haven't got any morgul knights so I don't know what they play like unfortunatly

You (and your brothers(I mean friends ) must have a lot of models between you!

I'm hoping to use him when me and my friend play one of the special battles from the mordor/free peoples sourcebook (haven't decided which one yet) so hopefully he will be entertaining then. And isn't it always the way that the great heroes are always killed by the average solider!

We've done a few last alliance esque battles. They're always fun.

Also, I'm not their brother, those two are brothers.

Oh, my bad!

100% of both my armies are painted :(. I'm going to try to put up an offer to paint peoples models in the swap shop. I paint faster than I can buy models :( Prices FTL

600pts of Moria (150pts painted)
500pts of Arnor (300pts painted)
600pts of Minas Tirith (225pts painted)
300pts of Rohan (0pts painted)

Slowly getting them all painted, only my minas tirith will expand further

Oh and I have given my friend my 900pt Isenguard army seen as I have little love for Uruks these days.

about 300/400 pt Rohan probably around 1/3 painted by now.

S.

250pts of Moria
750pts of Isenguard
The beginnings of a wood elf army
750pts of dwarves (very unbalanced, not enough heavy armour warriors)

Very few painted but I'm planning on completing the wood elves before I move house.

About 800 ish points of Mordor and 600 points of Corsairs, gonna paint it up over the course of the year and than start a Faramir's Rangers army.

All of my Lord of the Rings stuff comes to a Massive Total of......

....10,227pts!

That's a lot of models but how come your uruks have fallen out of your favour?

That's a good amount of models. How big are you going to make your wood elves force?

This is a file which lists all my models, if anyone is interested.

EDIT: use the one below

Actually, refer to this one its the up to date version

That's a lot of stuff mate!!

I liked them when I was younger because how brutal they were, now I enjoy the gribblies and the chivalrous folk more is all

I know! When I was younger I used to play it with my brother and we sort of ended up in an 'arms race' of models so to speak. Then when my brother stopped playing he said that I could by it off him for quite a low price and so I did.

Good news is though, there is a bit of a LOTR resurrection going on in my area and quite a lot of people play it now. So I can break out the collection once more.

That is a huge collections! What models do you have?

The same thing literally happened with me as well. Me and my brother went a bit made with the collecting and then he ended up giving them all to me

I'm planning on collecting 750pts of elvish goodness

Some of these collections are quite frankly insane! Any pics of these 10k monsters people?
