reinforcements for Rohan!

I have almost completed the figures I have for the Riders of Rohan.  This week has seen me beavering away at the remainder and all I have left is a few riders and a couple of characters but I have to confess to being a little 'Rohaned out'!  Probably a good thing that they are almost done. :)
This week I have completed 6 more riders and 8 foot warriors.  The bases are still grassless but at least my order has been dispatched and I am expecting it early this week - fingers crossed!
These first 3 riders have different horse colours but the same shield colour - white design on a red shield.  I have to confess that I am always concerned at the strength of a horse model that only has one point of contact on the base and that seems to be common in these riders.

 The second three have red shields with yellow designs,again with a variety of horse colours.

 All six together.

 The foot warriors are a mixture of bow and melee armed weapons.  Nice and easy to paint.

 Again grouped by shield colour combination.  Geen shield, yellow design.

 Green shield, white design.

 I think that en mass, they will look quite varied and irregular.

 A group shot of the foot warriors.

 And a shot of this weeks output!

 So this is how far I have got with Rohan - it is coming along well, and with the addition of the few bits I have underway, it should be quite a usable faction.

 Eowyn is still in command and that is something I need to address at some point with the addition of more character models.

So now I come to the notion of when do I stop a faction and move on to others?  It is certainly large enough to use in a skirmish game against the Uruk Hai I have but not big enough for the impressive cavalry charge I have in my minds eye!!  In the games workshop version of Middle Earth there are many other factions that I would like to collect and so I am wondering now whether it is time to move on and begin something else.  I am expecting some reinforcements for my Uruk Hai any day now (same order as the static grass!) and after that I am moving on to a different bad guy faction so maybe I need to think about the addition of some elves or dwarves.  I am not doing Gondor for a while as the thought of all that silver and black leaves me a bit cold - however from very young I loved the swan knights of dol amroth and my most loved D and D character who, over several years gaming in my teens, I took all the way to 18th+ level was called Imrahil!  Maybe I will end up doing the provinces before the main city!  Ahh well, we shall just have to wait and see.  It will probably be just as much a surprise to me as it will to you which way I go next.
Anyway, enough ramblings from me -  I have to get ready for school tomorrow.  I expect that my painting output is about to nosedive!!!!!
