Five Armies, Twelve Days - Success!!


   Success!!!

   Twelve days and many sleepless nights later, I'm finished! 150 stands of troops from two copies of Games Workshop's The Battle of Five Armies are now all painted up and ready for war. That works out to a staggering 1344 infantry, 192 cavalry and 18 flying 10mm troops!

   What the hell was I thinking?!

   Here's the final shot of what all that looks like...

Five armies times two!

   As I said in the second post of this challenge, the goal with 10mm figures is to create a massed spectacle, and I think the picture above is exactly that. I can hardly wait to get these armies moving on the gaming table. Anyone up for a game?

   As thrilling as the mass units are to look at, I also thought you would like to see close-ups samples of each of the different model types, so here they are...

   Thank you for following me on my self-induced struggle. I have enjoyed the challenge, and hated it, often at the same time. Now that the troops are all done I can take my time and add the heroes and elite units I have stored away, including a gift from Jay Griffiths of elven cavalry and the great wyrm Smaug himself. I'll be sure to keep you all updated as these additions are completed, and hopefully soon I'll have a battle report to share with you.

   ...and thank you, as always, for stopping by!

P.S. The movie was pretty good, too!
