Gondor CoEF

Gondor Cart of Everliving Flame. An inspirational thingie for the warriors of Minas Tirith. Rules aren't ready, but should be no problems. Coming up with rules is easy: Just don't go over the top, keep the points within reason and you should be okay.

A billion things left to do, especially considering the paintjob on the flames. And also the position of the bowl of flames and the mini-pillars at the back of the wagon.

Originally, the Guards of the Fountain Court (GotFC) were intended to slowly walk by the side of the oxen, but I forgot this when the base took shape and no holes for their bases were made. Now, where to put them? On top of the cart?

Three days ago I bought this, after looking at the preview pictures on blogs and then eventually on the GW homepage. They are huge but still fit a 40mm base. To fight one of these would be more comparable to fight a Cave Troll rather than a Warg, which I first intended to use them for: Spicing up the Warg packs.

They didn't look that cartoony on the pictures, but when I put it next to a Warg (which I didn't particulary liked in the first place) it looks stupid. But fear not, Llama will fix this with his crappy painting skills and some fantastic basing, they will be allright. I do doubt another package of these will find its way into my home, however.

Good day, and may many fine food items find their way into your belly this fine Saturday.

  1. The carroccio looks good! It would be nice if you could reflect/light the vexillia-banners with the flames.

  2. No! I will not get into the marshland of OSL - not only does one have to be a much better painter, but one would also want to do OSL on everything that might have some sort of light source on all other objects in one's possession. A bleak future, indeed.

    Thanks for your crappy input in this matter. I will, however, require grading with stars. I recommend 43 stars out of 68, but you may grade after your own head visavi this object.
