Additional mini's?
« on: December 27, 2010, 01:52:24 AM »

Hey anyone that still plays this... lol,

I received a copy of this game for Christmas and I was wondering, what are ways to expand this game? I know GW originally sold some extra figs but now those are no longer in print. I know that Copplestone Miniatures sells some great 10mm figs to expand into Uruk-Hai, Gondor, and Rohan, but what are good ways of getting Easterlings, additional Dwarves, Haradrim and others? In the Warmaster range, I noticed a few possibilities there. Any thoughts on this?

The rules for this game are... ok. I will probably use a variation of Armati or DBA (or a homebrew mix of both) for simplicity. But the Miniatures look FANTASTIC and the box set is such a GREAT deal!!!

Thanks fracas! Lotsa links were good but I think I need to rephrase my question.

What would you guys use specifically in adding minis for this game? For instance, do Araby work well as Haradrim?

I'm looking more or less for which specific models can represent what we don't have in the battle of five armies series. Since I don't like the Warmaster system, I have no interest in those lists, even though it looks like "the dog" put a LOT of thought and time into that.
