15mm Fantasy-Horse Lords or Riders of Rohan

A large contingent of humans, these represent the Horse Lords or may be Riders of Rohan.

This is the first batch of these as I intend to increase the size of the army.  But I need to buy them lol

Essex Miniatures, mainly, Dark Ages Range.  The flags and banners are downloaded off the web and printed at home...

15mm Fantasy Demon Horde

Again not really 15mm figures but they will do a great job with their immense size coupled with their great speed and agility...

Now these corrupted demon spawn are a fusion of arachnid and demonette that make a dreadful sight as well as a formidable foe.

I would love to take credit for these wonderful figure, however, I can not!!  I bought them off of EBay exactly as you see them.  I all I have done is based them to match my existing collections.

15mm Non-Empire

Now for something more conventional, just a basic unit of Sword and Bucklers.   They wear the purple and yellow of Ostermark.

Old Glory 15mm Italian Wars Spanish swordsmen.

15mm Fantasy Non-Empire....

The biggest martial investment that a state of the Empire or indeed a wealthy city state can make is the construction of a might Landship.....

These are massive steam powered leviathans armed with mighty cannons and crewed by fearless men and sometimes the odd dwarf.

Being heavily armoured they can place themselves into the hottest part of the battle and use their sheer mass to punch large holes through the enemy lines.

The Landships are armed with two might cannon.  The largest mounted in the hull can only be fired when the Landship is stationary but it can basically target anything on the battle field that it can see.  The second is mounted in a rotating turret and can be fired on the move.  The big gun is also a cause of fear to anyone trying to hide behind a city or fortress wall!

Now a Games Workshop Steam Tank looks far more convincing in 15mm as you can imagine the crew inside feeding the steam boiler and manning the mighty weapons.  But that is just my warped chain of though.

15mm Fantasy, Lots of Them

I have been busy re-basing, touching up, painting and finishing a whole wave of of figures for my fantasy collection.  

As it is fantasy not everything needs to be 15mm but the effect on the table, of the various sizes, is visually appealing.

First up is a larger than life drummer....he stands nearly 70mm tall and is based on a 80x80mm base.  He is a giant that will beat the drum to bring the forces of evil to the front and encourage them to close with the enemy. 

I have not decided what army or faction he will support, probably my Orcs of the White Hand which have giant trolls accompany them to the battlefield.

 

Obviously the figure is a GW Lord of the Rings Troll.  he is a plastic figure and I really like him.  I was after one for ages and finally picked one up, at a good price on EBay.

15mm Black Orcs or Great Orcs

The Black Orcs or Great Orcs are a tribe of large fierce Orcs who rely on their size and strength to crush their enemies and cause fear in smaller Orcs and Goblins.

This tribe is made up of large warbands, mass bow and hard hitting boar riders.

The reinforcements to the Black Orc Tribe.

 

War Drum and  Hero on a Giant Boar

 

 More Heros and Leaders

 The Warbands

 The mighty War Boar Riders, the shock arm of the Black Orcs, which are all pretty shocking anyway

Just to show how mighty the Black Orcs are I have placed them next to some Empire Swordsmen, 15mm Old Glory Renaissance.

These figures will join a few more warband and bow bases at home to make the mighty Black Orc Tribe!

On The Painting Table

So this work rotation I will mainly be painting 15mm fantasy.  

To start with a touch up and re-base of a some Blood Dawn Orcs, these are very large and chunky figures but work great for 'Black Orcs' or 'Great Axes'
