Mythical Earth

 

Bought these in Lockdown, had a wee look yesterday and their big battle option might serve my needs. 

Yesterday saw me rebasing the baddies from the Mythical Earth range from Minifigs. The Nazgûl is finally flying by means of an old model aeroplane stand. The dragon is happy on terra firma, for now. As well as the bad guys l worked on some ents and the trees they herd.

Beside the dragon on the left l have some Haradrim mounted on a rather fierce Garrison mumakil. Back in the day, first time round , my Haradrim used a rather sedate Minifigs elephant encased in cloth armour. This time the old school elephant is a tad more angry looking and fits the bill better l feel. The crew is Minifigs Haradrim btw.

These poor chaps have been on individual bases, textured bases , on and off card and mdf as my ideas changed. Now In hopefully their final basing l have gone for simple goblin green painted bases best reflecting the flimsy green card used by me in the 1970s.

Haradrim spearmen on foot to finish plus another creature and that’s the baddies done next onto the goodies. Can I recommend these splendid dbm army lists found here-

Obviously a labour of love they are pretty comprehensive and useful , not to mention interesting.

As much as I fancy using WRG 4th edition for these armies or the splendid Middle Earth rules from SESWC in Edinburgh l am probably kidding myself. DBM for all its faults gives me enjoyment with my ancients and l know them well, well well ish,  So they will probably be used in conjunction with the aforementioned army lists for some fun games.
