Well the tournament was yesterday, so after lots of painting and assignments I now have time to update this thread.
Here's some pics of the finished army I used. I painted Suladan in 3 hours the night before the tournament so I'm pretty happy how he turned out.
and some close ups as requested
I played 3 games over the day.
1st was Contest of Champions against a Baradur/ Easterlings army led by Shagrat. I ended up with a Major loss mostly because of a large group of easterling archers managing to destroy my Kataphrakts that were shielding Suladan in turn 2 and then in turn 3 killing Suladan's horse and causing 3 wounds on him, he was only kept in the game by his point of fate. Also in this game I had a single haradrim spear man that held up a mordor troll from getting at the rest of my lines for a good 5 turns. He just kept winning the fights!
2nd game was Domination against wood elves. Although 3 of the 4 objectives being wooded terrain I managed a minor win in this game. It was probably because my opponent being very unlucky with his dice rolls (have you ever seen Legolas miss all three shots 2 turns in a row)
3rd game was to the death against more Baradur and some haradrim. I got manicured. I don't know if we had the deployment rules wrong but we ended up deploying our entire armies about and inch apart. Because of this his wargs managed to consumed almost all my arches and Shagrat killed my dragon knight both on turn one.
Over all I ended up finishing 4th in the tournament (I only won one game so I must have got lots of bonus points for sportsmanship and army painting) and so my prize was a box of warriors of the dead. Don't have pics yet but I've assembled the first 10 strait out of the box and after rereading some the articles I've seen here I will convert the other ten.
