The Muster of Dol Amroth


There is some talk amongst my friends of doing a bit of Middle-earth gaming, so I thought I'd better break out my Dol Amroth forces and see what I've actually got. I've been (very slowly) working on this army for a few years now, but never put it all on the table at once. Here's what I've got currently.

12 Spearmen

10 Swordsmen

10 Archers

6 Knights on Foot

2 Mounted Knights

3 Rangers

2 Men-at-Arms

1 Knight Captain

Prince Imrahil on Foot


I've got 5 more mounted knights waiting to be painted, which is the biggest hole in the army at the moment. Cavalry just takes so long to paint! I'd also like to get a few more rangers to get that unit up to 6 or 8.  And beef the swordsmen and archer units up to 12.


I really should paint up the mounted Imrahil, though I'm not a huge fan of the official figure. I've been thinking about conversions. For the moment, I might just use my 1 metal knight to represent him.

Longer term, I'd like to get a ballista for when they are fighting on the defensive. I'd also like to make a supply wagon as a scenery piece / objective marker.

    1. Thanks. I don't have the ability to paint swan ships, but I thought I could do some swan-ish symbols!

  2. That's a handsome looking force.

  3. Great looking force. The standard warriors really fit the vibe of men-at-arms supporting the Swan Knights. The free-hand shields give them a great cohesive look.

  4. Nice! Are those Games Workshop models? I too love the swans.

    1. The fully armoured knights, the two spearmen with the cloaks, and the rangers are GW. The rest are Fireforge plastics.
