Good Army:
Prince Imrahil on Horse with a Lance.
28 Knights of Dol Amroth on Horses and Lances.

Evil army:
Khamul the Esterling on a Armoured horse.
40 Esterling Kataphrakts.

I have always liked the idea of a mass cavalry army and these fit the theme perfectly. I have started on the models already and i will post some photos tomorrow showing the progress so far. The only downside to cavalry is painting 2 lots of models, one mounted and one on foot. Im going to try and finish the Good army before the evil army. Im also planning some form of display base for them to transport them around.

Any comments positive or negative are welcome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/540757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/540757.page GMT LOTR Grand Tournament Armies
I played in a LOTR tourney a year or two back against an all mounted Rohan force. It was after the first shooting phase (I play Rangers) that I found out he had no 'on foot' models. Made the game significantly easier for me ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/540813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/540813.page GMT LOTR Grand Tournament Armies
Prince Imrahil:


Some of the horses:

Knights on foot started:


Although not in the final army list i started painting this model as i may still field it:



As for basing at the moment i am not sure. I am thinking grassy with maybe the odd hint of small rocks to represent grassy plains. For Imrahil though im thinking something more fancy, not sure what though.

I do have several more models that i have started painting but they are no more than undercoated realy so i felt there was no point in me photographing them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/560796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/560796.page GMT Re:LOTR Grand Tournament Armies
I would suggest drop some of the cavalry in both and get some archers. Archers are good.Trust me.

Metal was painted Tin Bitz first, boltgun metal on top of that. Then a black ink wash (black ink not a wash) followed by a highlight of mithril silver. Finaly one very waterd down wash of black. Weapons where painted just straight chainmail.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/654722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228708/654722.page GMT
