Hey, its Gimli!

Gimli!

In the Two Towers, (Book) Theoden gives Gimli a shield that he had when he was a boy. I had nothing to do so I made a simple conversion and painted him up!

Army Background

The background for my WOTR army is Theoden leading the Rohirrim to the aid of Gondor, and the battle at the Black Gate, hence the Cavalry/Infantry combo. The reason for Eorl the Young is that I thought, if I was gathering almost everything in the Rohan army list (except Theodred and Erkenbrand as Epic Heroes, because I had both Theodred's Knights and Erkenbrand's Riders.) I might as well include the first King of Rohan, because he was, after all, included in the army list and there was no rule anywhere saying I couldn't include him. So, the reason for Theodred. First, I really liked the model and the character, but even though he died at the Fords of Isen, I figured there was no reason I couldn't or shouldn't include him, because after all he is a pretty powerful hero (2 might, Hero of Legend special rule). So lets just say he was revived, like Eorl.

But why did I pick a Rohan army? Well, it was the charge at Pelennor Fields in the 3rd movie that really sold it. I think I was about 5 or 6 when I saw that, and I instantly made the connection-Rohan is my favorite. When I went to my first hobby shop years later, the connection reignited when i saw the Rohirrim. So here I am now, building my Rohan WOTR army. A dream come true.

New Army List

I made some changes to the army list in order to incorporate some more troops. I took out the Captains from the Rider of Rohan Eoreds, giving me 150 points. Then I took out 2 companies from the Oathsworn Militia, giving me a further 40 points. Then I bumped the Outrider and Royal Knight formations up to 4 companies each. Then I made Grimbold's Helmingas 6 companies, and the Sons of Eorl 5 companies, making the army list exactly 4000 points. The new army list is:
