@@dicedrinksanddadjokesRoyal Guard and Theoden would be a great addition! The weird thing is, I’ve been painting LOTR miniatures on and off for about 20 years but never jumped into the game aspect of it. Now I am tho…just need somewhere to join. I’m actually converting Minas Tirith Warriors into vets. It’s been a labor of love. Not even close to finishing. 1000 points! I wonder if I can muster such an army 🥴

Hi Adam, hope the tournament was worth the pain of the painting project. 1000pts is a slog especially in such a short time period. I understand where you're coming from with the repetitive painting. variety is the spice of life! the force looks fantastic. I love the small differences in the shield and cloak colours to differentiate warbands. hopefully now you have a full painted Rohan force you won't have to paint them again. and look good opportunity for you to do a scenario or specific match play on the channel between Rohan and urakai. thanks for the amazing content as always.

Great vid! Congrats on winning the presentation award at the tournament! Obviously understand if you dont want to do a tutorial vid on painting them, but I would be interested in watching it. Planning a Rohan army once my Isengard is painted. I was wondering what Woodland scenic flocks you'd recommend for MESBG terrain? Im just looking into getting into making my own terrain, and there are an intimidating number of sizes of flocks, colours etc etc. Do you have a couple you consider essential?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes

Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks Liam! I'll get there with the tutorial, I think I videoed bits and pieces along the way so hopefully not too much of a drama putting something together. I know what you mean regarding flocks! I quite like decorating my bases with the tile grou/soil mix then sprinkles of fine turf (different colours dependant on theme, I like to use burnt grass for the tundra look) a few highlights of course turf (I usually use dark green) and some tufts. These can be homemade or bought depending on budget. I tend to avoid static grass for bases these days.

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes Thanks! As far as for your forest table tutorial and other terrain, are there particular types of flock and colours that you use all the time?

Care to explain why it is your favourite LL? It looks thoroughly mediocre (at best) to me - for that highly situational one use "Look to the Sun" rule, you have to sacrifice ridiculously much: - the army bonus is nerfed from "everybody all the time" to ""just those within 12" of Éomer (who thus has to stay alive)" - no Royal Guard (=no F4/D6 other than your heroes + no Bodyguard) - no Outriders - no armoured horse for Éomer - no Gamling/Théoden/Dernhelm/Déorwine/Elfhelm And to top it all off, you're burdened with an overpriced Gandalf who takes up a significant chunk of your points with little chance of getting a decent ROI. It simply doesn't compute for me...
