The Eastern Army Finally Arrive!!

The battle having gone on for quite some time, the Sons of Feanor and their army come up from the south, swarming around the Himring stronghold (my very old brick castle I put together decades ago filling in). The Noldor Elves of Maedros and his bothers in the front ranks, supported by their human allies, Bor and Ulfang, along with Naugrim from Belegost, and a small Elvish contingency from Ossiriand.

Back with Fingon and his allies, the orcs still attempt to crush their enemies...

Further on the south side of the battle, Turgon and his forces are linking up with the Easter Army...

Fingon (top-left of center), Hurin and brother Huor (top-center), backed up by Mablung and Beleg, are just about all that is left of the Western Army! Only a few elves and men stand with them...

 The Eastern Army moves forward to attack the Orcish hordes. At the bottom, are the Naugrim of their King, Azaghal; above them, men of Bor (and perhaps if you look very carefully to the lower-left, you can see some greenish banners. There are actually three Polish Winged Hussars I never used back in the 80s, but they looked to neat not to finally bring out to the table); then the Sons of Feanor...

To return to our friends before the gates of Angband, the wounded Captain of Hithlum, and the Green Elf are still laying their enemies low!

Orcs finally break through to reach Mablung (left of center)...

Treachery!! (Surprise!) The Men of Ulfang now attack the rear ranks of the Eastern Army (from the left edge of the photo)...

The Elvish heroes continue to strike their enemies down...

Fingon and two of his remaining bodyguards (left) with Mablung and Beleg backed up by some bowmen from Falas. Hurin, Huor, Ecthelion, Glorfindel and King Turgon, are holding the right flank...

The Naugrim are outflanking what is left of the orcs at the extreme southern edge of the battlefield...

to be continued...

Turgon and Gondolin arrive!

At the northern edge, the few remaining Elves of Falas and the Green Elves, continue their fight...

The two remaining Green Elves are still standing their ground!

With their backs to the mountains and the gate to their homeland, the Elves and Men of Hithlum and For-lomin fight desperately against the oarfish hordes...

This fight continues southward towards the Fen...

The Elves of Gondolin fight their way on either side of the Fen as their attempt to link up with Turgon's brother Fingon...

And still, the two Green Elves still stand, dropping orcs...

The Elvish/Mannish line is barely holding...

The Elves of Gondolin are making their presence felt...

One of the Elves from Falas goes down as his fellows continue their fight...

The orcs are beginning to flank the Elves as well as piercing the center!

Turgon has just about broken trough to his brother (lower left)...

And still, the surrounded Falas' and Green Elves hold on! This has been an incredible feat (at least in a gaming universe)...

With their lines flanked and split, Fingon's men need the assistance of Turgon, Ecthelion, and Glorfindel arriving from the right...

Men of Gondolin are smashing down those orcs...

A wounded Captain from Hithlum (green cap), two Green Elves, and one from Falas prove to be a very tough nut to crack as they down three more orcs...

Hurin (center) and his brother Huor (to the right), are on their own!

Glorfindel reaches Fingon's men (upper left), while a couple of stubborn orcs are surrounded...
