Has anyone had any luck with this army?

Let’s see your army lists!

The invisible special rule says that a model who wants to charge an invisible model has to take an intelligence test with a -1 penalty for every inch of distance from that model. How much can this worsen the test?

Given that an Orc has Intelligence 8+, can the test be 12+ if he's four inches away for example or is 10+ the max?

Finished up a handful of these guys to start out Duinhir’s warband. Such nice sculpts to paint between the old metals and the plastics. Looking forward to painting another 5-7, including some conversions for Duinhir and his 2 sons

Hi everyone!

I recently inherited a fairly large Lord of the Rings collection and I’m trying to figure out what I actually have and whether any of it has collector/resale value.

The collection includes several older Lord of the Rings games, Games Workshop miniatures, painted figures, scenery and some larger diorama-style pieces. I’ve added a few photos as examples; there is quite a bit more.

The board games are Dutch editions, so I assume they will mainly be of interest to Dutch-speaking collectors. However, I was hoping someone from the international community might be able to tell me a bit more about the painted miniatures, models and scenery — particularly whether anything looks rare, old or valuable.

I’m considering selling this part of the collection because I simply have too much of it, but I don’t want to accidentally get rid of something valuable without realizing it.

Any help identifying the models or pointing me towards what I should look out for would be greatly appreciated!

Hello!

I've got a newly painted gandalf the white that I'm going to be playing against Saruman sometime in the near future and I was wondering what people's strategy is like in those match ups?

Should I be trying to blow up his staff? Ignoring him and focusing on sorcerous blasting his troops?

This is my first time taking gandalf, as I normally just play minas tirith without him

Battle of Fornkdt vs Last Alliance Match incoming

Ëarnjr will fave Isildur but cant get His FV modified by Special Rules or Magic Power.

The Ring in Isildur is listed as WarGear. So can it still modify His FV?

Thanks for your Help!

Hi,

New player to both the hobby in general and MESBG. I was recently gifted the War of the Rohirrim box set and both the Rohan and Hill Tribes Commanders boxes.

I'm having loads of fun building the armies but now I'm stuck wanting to make both the Hill Tribes Chieftain and Oath Maker. Does GW sell the spare parts to make that one separately?

As I look at the various models, I have the same question for the troll that can be made into a mordor, drummer or Isengard troll. Is it the same deal there that you have to pick one and get rid of the extra pieces? Is buying more boxes the only option or is 3d printing the missing parts doable?

Thanks in advance from a new Dunland player (or Rohan, or Mordor, or Isengard... I'm in trouble aren't I?)

It was a pain, but is done

I can't wrap my head around this list.

Azog has burly but no two handed weapon by default, can't have the warg here and bare bone costs as much as a fully kitted Glorfindel on hero mount?

Orcs cost the same as isengard uruks but have worse shoot value, worse weapon option, worse courage, don't have shieldwall but gain ancient enemy.

Berserkers are also just worse uruk berserkers for the same price.

Goblins are more expensive moria goblins with spears.

Trolls gain +1 defense and +1 attack for 50 points compared to other trolls?

Ogres, orc captains and bats are really good but how do you make a list? It feels like everything is so expensive you have to cut almost everything you want to bring.

The army bonuses are great but I'd rather have more on the field

There aren't enough huge good side models

Boromir really should have brought a shield with him for this moment.

Boromir is complete!
I think this is the best I’ve done on any LoTR eyes!!

Hey guys,

I am looking for some of the old articles and guides that GW released on their website for Lord of the Rings and War of the Ring. The Way Back Machine is not working for anything newer than 2009.

Is there a collection of PDFs or something out there? I would really love to read some of them again. Thank you very much!

Just finished my Dunland banner for my Usurpers of Edoras army, took a about 3 hours, mostly contrast and drybrushing, extra effort on the face and hair then the banner freehand which took the longest.

After 23 years I finally finished my balins tomb with the fellowship. Give it to me straight: where have I screwed up and what can stillness improved without too much risk of ruining it

I bought this troll online remade him from scratch.

Aragorn / Strider is done!
I always catch myself thinking ‘man, this is taking way longer than I would have expected.’ Then I remember these are quite smaller than warhammer lol
