About the Project

I have spent a few years building a large terrain board, some small armies and one large army of Uruk hai. I now want to build up another army to match the size and force of the orcs (Uruk hai) and goblins (Moria). The only two forces I have of any scale is undead and Empire, my mates have some empire too so I shall do my empire principally. And we can use the allies from other human provinces during games to top us up in points as high as possible while the forces slowly come together. Though I may get distracted from the slog again from time to time. This is now part of the process! So expect: undead, Men of Numenor , Eregion Elves, Morian Dwarves and maybe even some dungeon saga. Possibly a small bit of sci fi too as I’ve wanted to get on to my Aliens from the film for ages! But mostly, FOR THE EMPIRE!!!! And dogs of war…..

The rules I shall be using for my Nagash. The only other things I’ve got on the go for the undead is a zombie dragon and some undead cavalry. I’ve got a unit of Lord of the rings black Numenorean heavy cavalry that shall be good undead nights or vampire cavalry. But I need some undead horses to do light cavalry, here’s hoping wargames Atlantic does a good job. Especially as I’ve got Celtic chariot sprues awaiting their bloody skeleton horses!!!

Heresy miniatures ghouls, enough for a regiment of twenty, the mother carrying baby makes me a touch queasy to consider so I haven’t painted them yet!?Heresy miniatures ghouls, enough for a regiment of twenty, the mother carrying baby makes me a touch queasy to consider so I haven’t painted them yet!?

Quite a lot, enough skellies to do 40 more pikes (I like pikes), 24 bow armed skellies and 30 sword armed. 2 more big units of zombies, one from Mantic and one of amorphous fun stuff from loads of companies. Watch out for Reg Shoe!Quite a lot, enough skellies to do 40 more pikes (I like pikes), 24 bow armed skellies and 30 sword armed. 2 more big units of zombies, one from Mantic and one of amorphous fun stuff from loads of companies.

That’s 5500 points of undead. Not bad looking I’d say?That’s 5500 points of undead. Not bad looking I’d say?
I like adding troop choices to my forces. Undead should be able to be combined like of old, no dry and wet undead for me. No sir. Just undead, there is Wraiths and Mummies in this lot, along with extra artillery and missile troops.  I like adding troop choices to my forces.

Sauron is my Nagash. I always liked Nagash he should never have been cut from 6th. The mummies and wraiths I’m using variations on ushabti and ogre rules. Should be fun to try out.Sauron is my Nagash. I always liked Nagash he should never have been cut from 6th. The mummies and wraiths I’m using variations on ushabti and ogre rules.

Why!? I haven’t the faintest idea. But the kids are weathering it in. I have decided to have everyone driving on the left, as it seems obviously the correct side to drive. And I thought Halt instead of stop as I think the Germans should realise their mistake and make Europe join us on the clearly and obviously superior side to drive. Don’t believe me?! Lindybeige explains why on YouTube. He also does a good job on explaining why imperial measurements are better than metric for people instead of machines.Why!? I haven’t the faintest idea.
