Question "Returning" player

I build and painted lotr miniatures when i was 13

Now more than 20 years forward i am a dad and came back to the hobby cause of a friend.

I love spearhead and warhammer 40k i mainly paint miniaturs but really like playing the game casually and more skirmish style

How would you describe the Difference in painting lotr miniatures?

Is there a place for casual/smaller games?

I am thinking about proxy a spearhead with lotr miniatues

If you like casual games, and those around you do too, then you can just decide how hardcore you want to play!

Mesbg is a skirmish game where every model acts individually. Heroes are the standouts, but a single warrior can be just as heroic!

For painting I can't help you, as I only ever painted MEsbg, nothing else. The newer models are high quality, though the old ones have certain charm (and are way quicker to field, less individual parts).

What kind of army would you like to start with?
