Rohan Cavalry

Some cavalry for the good chaps. these are more 40mm Combat Hex figures and are all personalities.  I have not been able to find any ordinary troopers so far:


I am getting close to completing all of these figures, with about 20 to go. I have run out of MDF bases and I am awaiting a resupply.

More Combat Hex Figures

Over the last few days I have spent several pleasant hours basing more 40mm Lord of the Rings Combat Hex figures.  I purchased a huge pile very cheaply and I have quite a few left to complete.  The results are quite pleasing and I am looking forward to getting them on the table for a game.


First some Wolf Riders:


A warband of medium infantry:

Heavy infantry:


A horde of Orc warriors:


The Fellowship:


Goblin archers:

Gheap as Chips - Combat Hex

I recently acquired some figures that come from the game 'Combat Hex' .  The figures are part of a game system that includes a set of skirmish rules with fantasy figures being engaged in combat. Each figure is about 40mm high and mounted on a rather bulky plastic base that has all of the information to move and fight the figure printed on it, with some sliding bars to record wounds and action points:

As I understand it the game never really took off and has been overtaken by other rulesets and figures.  This has resulted in a large number of figures being available for sale at very attractive prices. A single fully painted figure can be obtained for well under a £1.

So, I bought some to experiment with them.  I decided to cut off the ugly base and mount the figures on MDF bases. I shall organise the figures to fit in with Command & Colors Ancient rules.

Some good people:

Some very bad people:

I have got some more coming and will have sufficient for two small armies.
