Summer 2009 War of the Rings Escalation League
For the league (and likely my career with War of the Ring), I'll be running a Fallen Realms list with a tight focus on the Southrons: Harad and Umbar.
About a year ago, I flipped through the Skirmish Harad sourcebook, and went crazy for it. I'm a huge fan of the Far Harad stuff: I think the Mahud and Half-Trolls are awesome (though I'm strangely unenthused about the Mumak). That made the decision to go Fallen Realms very easy.
What's not so easy is that the Fallen Realms list really seems balanced around the inclusion of Easterlings and the Khandish, neither of which I have any time for. I'll be running purely Southron models; anything that isn't, I'll "localize" to the South (see my Troll as an example of this). I'm sure I'll eventually have to convert some Haradrim into counts-as Easterlings that bear shields and pikes, but that will wait for another day. In the meantime, I'll probably have a hard time not looking down of folks who cherry pick their Fallen Realms lists. :) (Apologies in advance.)
Although I've found that these minis paint up very quickly, there are so many of them to paint, I don't expect to ever be fully painted, which is unfortunate. I think I'll be happy about having a company or two painted a week.
I maintain a hobby blog; painting and WIP progress posts that relate to this army can be found here.

Thanks. It's pretty much the page I did for the Fantasy Escalation League with the graphics changed. :)

You can just hit "Edit" and copy and paste everything from it into your own page, then replace images/text to taste.
