What I Did in 2006
I never seem to have as much time as I'd like to update this website. Part of the problem is that I spend too much time staring at the air; the other side of the problem is that I'm doing this stuff:
High Elves: 6 spearmen, Arwen (foot & mtd w/Frodo), Elladan, Elrohir, Glorfindel Wood Elves: Haldir, Galadriel Rohan: Theoden (foot & mounted), Eomer (foot & mounted), Eowyn (foot & mounted), Theodred, Gamling (foot & mounted), 24 warriors, 6 riders, Royal Guard w/banner Isengard: Grima Wormtongue, 10 Berserkers, Lurtz, Ugluk, 52 Uruks (6 bow, 6 crossbow, 25 sword, 25 pike, 2 banner bearer), 2 Demolition teams, 2 Uruk Captain, Sharku, 4 Warg Riders, Saruman Gondor: Denethor Moria: Cave Troll Mordor: Grishnakh, 12 Orcs, Orc Captain Miscellaneous: Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, 4 Barrow wights, Radagast Terrain: 4 barrows, 4 menhirs, 2 more Bree houses, signal tower, palisade fort, circular ruins
