Dead of Dunharrow

Well, the next battle company is ready to go!

Some Dead of Dunharrow! Found a cheap ebay sprue and added the King and a couple of cheap metal miniatures too.

Super quick and easy to paint up. Went with the green glowy look with rusty metal and old wood. I have shields ready to go too, but will be adding them as my company actually gets them. Probably not enough spears, but they're a ridiculously overpowered battle company so I'm sure nobody will mind.

I hadn't painted rust before, but just used some Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust over a dark metal undercoat and black wash.


In the first mission, the three heroes have to rescue the fourth member of the company from a small group of Haradrim.


Three heroes head towards the town...


And some excited dice rolling later (ask my son, he'll tell you how many 1s I rolled - it was LOTS) two manage to exit!


I forgot that my guys with shields got +1 defence and also forgot that they caused terror! Fortunately on the first mission there's no rolling after battle for permanent wounds, so it's not a big deal, but boy it was close!
