King Amias & Friends

| Baron Galen, King Amias & Bishop Milendon |
Quick post, as I have finished painting Bishop Milendon. To complete the trio of good heroes at Thistlewood. Since Baron Galen commands the cavalry, I thought he ought to be mounted and I only really have one mounted and unmounted hero. The Swan Knight of Dol Amroth. Which is fine as he looks like a mighty hero.
I have a bit further to go with the forces of good. With only 56% however, I may have few more tucked away in the far corners of my collection. So it may need not quite as many figures as I am thinking. I may also get some elves instead of using the rangers. Having just finished the halfling regiment, they might also get called up.
Bishop Milendon has just been finished as part of my prep for Thistlewood. He is the Citadel high level AD&D cleric character. Which seems fitting as he has a weapon skill of 6 and 4 wounds. Plus the magical mace of the White Lord and a stack of magic. I was pleased how well the gold colours came out on this model.

Good choices. Dever himself made extensive use of the 1985 LOTR range in his games after Thistlewood, in particular the Swan Knights. He had a regiment painted blue and white as you would expect, but used them as Knights of Durenor from Lone Wolf.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing a picture somewhere of the Swan Knights ranked up and it really showed them up well. I am guessing Joe was able to get access to larger numbers at a reasonable price.
