Citadel/Games Workshop - Lord of the Rings SBG
Rivendell Guard - Pt.1 - Heroes
So I’ll be honest; I never had any intentions of playing the LotR SBG. However my best friend got back into wargaming and had always been a massive fan. He managed to persuade me (read: asked me once) to start and go to a tournament with him in November. I needed 300pts. I now have over 1200pts (mostly donated by another friend) and am still expanding.
The army is currently themed around the Rivendell Guard, and based on the art in the 'Hobbit Chronicles: Art & Design book’ (see Pt.2). I feel that that age has the most scope/potential, although I do really like the alternate timelines proposed in the Battle for Middle Earth 2 video game and what would have happened should Sauron have regained the One Ring.
from top-to-bottom:
- Gil-Galad, King of the Elves
- Elrond, Master of Rivendell
- Glorfindel, Lord of the West
- Erestor, Chief Councilor of Elrond, Captain of Rivendell
- Arwen Undómiel
- Legolad (Legolas’ more loutish identical twin, says ‘bro’ a lot, loves to get smashed on mead)
