Lord of The Rings - Farthing Yeomanry

Belated Christmas wishes.... Not quite what we had planned I am sure but it did result in a rather more relaxed affair then previous years without the rushing around from house to house and without the usual fight to desperately seek a comfy chair to sit on....

As promised something a little smaller.

Warlord Games - Halfling (Hobbit) Infantry. Cast in resin they have some wonderful detail, a little bit of pitting or air bubbles on some of the legs, but they clean up really easily. They come with square bases but I swapped these to the round bases to fit with the other figures in his collection.

Reflecting on the past 12 months the LOTR Infamy Infamy have been a lot of fun although my track record of wins is truly appalling. One more game in this round before both sides get reinforcements.

My opponent has been flexing his financial muscle and has several new units for Sauron to field, so I thought I would give him a Christmas present to help him shore up the good guys....

The Farthing Yeomanry are a warband of 10 figures and will make a useful unit to protect their homesteads from the rampaging Orc's. Meanwhile a couple of heroes to begin the fight back.... After all who would not want a Hobbit Riding a Goat!!!

For those interested these are the adapted stats for the Hobbit Farthing Yeomanry.

Here's hoping 2021 allows us to get a few more face to face games in. After all it would be quite embarrassing for the Orc commander if these little fella's were to actually beat him on the field of battle.
