Armies: Easterlings and Haradrim

Hello all,

Below you'll find images of my 'middle earth' Easterling and Haradrim armies. The figures all come from different lines and it won't be hard to tell where! However, they represent either allies or enemies of Allatar and Pallando. Mr E and I have played a few trial games now for a version of the game set in this theatre for the war of the rings, we've had some fun and I may post a battle report in the future.

The way we see it: is that Allatar and Pallando made one last stand agains Sauron by using the good  people of the east and south, some were mentioned in the Silmarillion, I imagine some forbidden city far to the east based on Japanese and Chinese culture, they'd be protecting a giant wall against the forces of evil. I imagine this city to be at the foot of the Orocarni mountains and it'd be allied to the Dwarves that dwelt there. In the South I'd imagine a more guerrilla style opposition.

Here are the images:

You can see more Dwarves here

Now for some evil Easterlings from outside the wall:

I hope that the Bridge Direct release some warriors of Rhun in the future.

The Haradrim:

JAC's Armies: G.I.JOE (Green Army Men)

VEHICLES

After writing my latest new 'feature' Behind the times, I decided that I should start photographing all my figures together and display them here. although it took a long time, I have to say I really enjoyed taking the figures out of their storage boxes and setting them up. They look great together specially with the vehicles, I usually purchase a new figure or figures, I open them, display them for a week or so and then I store them with all the others. I have a lot of figures but it's not often that I get to see them all together, using the figures is part of the reason why I came up with the game in the first place.

Greenshirts

Now I got rid of all my old Joes a while ago and although I regret it from time to time, I must say I am happy with the new figures. A couple of things to get out of the way before I begin:

-I mix the different Joe lines together, for example I have Resolute, ROC, POC and 25th all together existing in the same universe.
-I mix different figure lines, particularly the POWER TEAM ELITE vehicles.
-I am not a completest
 -I do not adhere to any real Joe Canon, growing up I had the cartoon and my imagination. To this day I prefer the latter
