Modern microarmour and Battle of Five Armies

I just finished working up a bunch of modern microarmour to play a 1985 Cold War scenario using an adaptation of the Epic Armageddon rules by GW. I have played Epic once and thought it was a lot of fun, I actually think it is a great ruleset for adaptation to moderns. So here we have:

A company of T-62s by GHQ
 

BTR60s, BRDMs and artillery (CinC and GHQ)

Infantry and support weapons (GHQ)


Hind D (CinC)

An Airfix 1/76 Sdkfz222 for next weeks game of Chain of Command

And also, one of my chums requested that I post some pictures of my Battle of Five Armies 10mm stuff by GW. I painted these 10 years ago when the GW box game was released as part of their Specialist Games range (all of which I think were fantastic, such a shame they killed them all).

Beorn, Thorin's gang, eagles and Gandolf:

Dain and men of the lake
 Dwarves
 Wargs and warg-riders:
 Elves:
Goblins, Bolg and a shaman:

  1. Absolutely awesome job on the Battle of Five Armies. Inspiring. I just finished my human force. I remember the great games we had with this system. What a great boxed set. I really wanted my own painted copy ever since you painted yours up and we played it. Thanks for posting them. Happy memories.

  2. I'm certain there were no T-62s at the BoFA. Less certain about BTRs. Man, Jackson has made a frigging mess of this...

  3. But I wouldn't rule out the ATGMs and other goblin artillery!

  4. Is this your own Modern-Epic Armageddon adaptation or is it something available on the web somewhere...?

  5. Really great job on the BoFA armies. I'm inspired to paint up my copy.

  6. There was one game in which this happened and the involvement of two love interests was the excuse for one of the non-player characters to do worse at being a support while the other became a great support. click here
