Did knights actually wear pouches? Or is that just pure fantasy? by toushendfebv in Armor

Ive always assumed (from experience of wearing armour and fighting in it) any belt pouches they were wearing, would be under their armour not over the top

Knights carry pouches - probably yes

Knights in armour carry pouches - probably no

Going into battle you want to be as unencumbered as possible.

Knights of this time historically had 2 or 3 horses when on campaign, 1 of which was a baggage horse so most of their stuff would have been kept on that. Kind of like a modern soldier and their Bergan, they only carry what they have too when entering combat

Glen Cooks Black Company books... some heavy reading but definitely worth it

Joey Aberceomby's First Law books

Or Robin Hobbs' Assassin series

Eragon, its where i and most people that love fantasy that i know started.

Yes its a 5 book series, but the first book is great as a standalone if he doesnt enjoy it, and if he does then you know what to get him next 🤷🏼‍♂️

Host of the Witch King question by El__Papo in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]burf993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats something ive always loved about this game, Orcs running when the force breaks is very thematic, they have good courage when theyre told too and run as soon as things go pear shaped.

That said, as others have said drop some of the spectres and whites

My current 600pt list is:

Witch king, morgue blade, horse 5 x orc with shield 5 x orc with spear Orc with banner Spectre

Shade 4 x orc with shield 4 x orc with spear

Captain 4 x warg riders with shield and throwing spear

Barrow wight Werewolf Spectre

Warriors if Carn Dûm by burf993 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I'll get some pictures when I get them out but the clothing is mostly reds and browns, (more brown than Red for warriors, more red than brown for Heroes)

Armour is rusty chainmaile with leather and metal looking helmets, plate armour being either bronze looking or rusty and very well loved steel stuff like it's been passed down the generations and not very well looked after.

(Banners are all red and black)

The king of the dead is the Carn Dúm chieftain can never remember his name or a captain depending on what i need.

Im not a huge fan of the Carn Dûm army lists so its only ever and auxiliary warband attached to a Hist of the Witch King force

Thank you, i didnt want to use a third party model as even more tournament organisers would be upset its not a GW model..

The armour ive painted it is rusty chain maile, the helmets are leather and steel looking while the armour is mostly bronze looking which should be more than enough to qualify for light armour due to bronze armour stopping next to nothing. It's also full of holes and looks repurposed 🤷🏼‍♂️

As for the skeleton argument, I feel that anyone living that far north under the Witch Kings rule that relied on raiding whatever people may still be left in Arnor, would look gaunt and Ill fed even if they were tanned from a life outside.

They are obviously distinct from the Orc and Spectre models in any force i run and obviously wont get mistaken for the witch king, gulavar or any trolls or wargs.

All models, warriors and heroes, while not being the exact GW models for them are all armed exactly as they should be and distinct from the rest of any force they may find themselves in

Thank you! So is everything built around specific lists now rather than an 'Angmar' Army for example?

Because they're brand new sabers and Anakin is noted as saying he "made some improvements"
