Rohan Spearmen

 After the absolute debacle painting wise that april was, it's time to get some figures done again this month.

So I am forcing myself a bit to at least finish all the models still left unfinished from the past AHPC, starting out with these five guys.

Some more Rohan foot soldiers, this time all with throwing spears, to bulk out the force if not in points, at least in numbers.  because let's face it, the average rohirrim isn`t a force to write home about in the MESBG game, but if you bring enough of them to the party...

The throwing spear also is a handy weapon that can do some serious ravaging to the enemy battleline before you engage, but at the cost it cannot be used as a supporting weapon.  This means that even on foot, the rohan force is all about taking the fight to the enemy more then taking on a defensive posture.

 

 

And this batch also includes my favorite model of all the "first generation" plastic LOTR models.  There is something about the defiance yet arrogance in this models pose, as well as the sculpting of the flowing cloak, that always made this guy look like he will become one of those unsung heroes in the background...

Now to get a few Riders going...
