Americans!

After several days painting I've finished 12 Americans. Roughly in the 1812 uniform, notice different coloured trousers due to supply shortages. The Sergeant has a head wound, as does a man in the front rank. These are of course the victrix British plastics painted as American infantry for the war of 1812. I've mounted them all on GW 25mm round bases, mainly 'cus i have loads lying around, and i think they work well for skirmishes.
I know its a bad pic. But look you can see my star wars curtains in the background!!

Reinforcements for Mordor.

Some reinforcements for my Mordor Army; Taskmaster and Drummer, The mouth of Sauron, and the siege bow. With these final orcs (and man) my Barad-Dur army reaches 500 points, and so is now complete. Minus some painting of course.  The second shot is of the compleat force. 

• The mouth of sauron
• Taskmaster
• Drummer
• 20 Morannon orcs
• 13 Orcs
• 7 Orcs with bow
• Mordor siege bow

Tactics wise, Hopefully the orcs will out number most good forces, and have the advantage of speed thanks to the drummer. The mouth will use his magic to transfix good heroes, so they can be mobbed and cut down. The taskmaster will run around calling heroic moves where needed. And the bow-orcs and siege bow will try and counteract good bow fire.TBH, I just wanted the siege bow 'cus its cool.

Laters....
