Guards of the Fountain Court

The Guards of the gate were robed in black. Upon the black surcoats were embroidered in white a tree blossoming like snow beneath a silver crown and many-pointed stars. This was the livery of the heirs of Elendil, and none wore it now in all Gondor, save the Guards of the Citadel before the Court of the Fountain where the White Tree once had grown.
These were quite a joy to paint! It was cool that I just read the above passage in the Return of the King.

I added a splash of blue to the model to tie in to my other Minas Tirith forces, and I like the way it worked. The shields were some 3D Prints.

Pretty excited to see these guys on the table! I plan to paint another 5, but will probably keep it at 10. Maybe? Maybe more? We'll see!

    Nicely done! Just discovered this blog when doing a search for the War of the Rings battle games (not MESBG!)

    Thank you! Is War of the Rings the "big form" version of MESBG?

Tabletop Admiral MESBG Army Builder now Live!

Many of you who have frequented this blog and checked out some of my battle reports may have noticed just how nice my army lists looked! This is all thanks to Andrew, the developer of Tabletop Admiral. Many moons ago he worked on a modular system for his list builder and I volunteered to be the steward of the MESBG data- tirelessly click-clacking away to get your favorite profiles digitized! This builder is AWESOME. I've been using even the earliest alpha versions of it for well over a year and nothing else comes close. Love it to pieces! IF YOU COME ACROSS BUGS PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY AT NowForWrathBlog@gmail.com The text below the cut is from Andrew's original announcement on Reddit, and details how to use the builder!
