Tolkien & LOTR / Favorite faction of Middle Earth

« on: February 14, 2015, 10:56:26 AM »

Hey guys! I see a bunch of "favorite character" threads, but nothing on our favorite factions. I'll give it a start.

Good: Rohan: Something about Pagan horseman I can't get over.
Evil: The men of Rhun: Evil Persian samurai? Yes please!

Now it's your turn!

Well, think what you might, it's how I came across this little gem of a forum.

If Lizard is willing to take up the C++ front, then by all means, a Python course would be much appreciated, Sir King. I don't think it matters who does it, as much as it gets done, giving the community the resources to learn and grow.

Just my two humble cents,

Well geographically, I'd say a Rhun base with some Dale influences. If they were a neutral trade based nation it wouldn't be too far fetched to see dwarves in the population as well.

Wow, I had to Google that one, could only find out where it was on the map.  Who/what lives there? Are they just folks of Rhûn?

I think I found a solid solution to the scale issue. These dark age miniatures are "True scale" 28mm as opposed to Gripping Beast Plastic's heroic scale. Not to mention these boxes offer a higher variety of poses and weapons over GBP's.

Next to none!


Languages: Python
Web: HTML
Interested: C++

I'd like to start contributing to, well, something. I have the time, just not the skill set... YET! If not a project, then could you fine folks point me somewhere I could possibly pick up some skills in the "programming" department?

Thanks!

This is something I hadn't considered simply because of the scale of the Lord of the Rings models. Plus, being the picky little bugger that I am, if I'm going third party, my whole army is going to be third party.

Indeed it would! I was actually thinking, on the model front, that it wouldn't be too hard to convert Gripping Beast Plastic's Dark Age models into Rohan infantry/cavalry.

Linky Link

The Arab infantry could also be used for the tribal men of Rhun with a little bit of love. I'm on the look out for other possible replacement models aswell.

For example these handsome fellows could be used as followers of Malkor.

thoughts?
