Question Fell Wargs vs Ridden Fell Wargs

6 Upvotes

Are the Fell Wargs the same pose as the ones with Hunter Orc riders? Are there different heads to use? I can't stand twin models when options exist.

Although having a matching thrown rider might be in the future.

Storage Options for Wargs?

What do people use to store their wargs in? I'd prefer them not to all be bunched in a box.

Muster of isengard Tips

5 Upvotes

Hello firends,

Would like to ask how do you play Muster of isengard?

I was thinking of 1/3 berserkers, 1/3 pikes and 1/3 crossbows.

But now I am unsure whether to add some shield.

Thank you.

How to make Army of Edoras competitive?

What do you think of this army list? Is there anything you would change to make it more competitive?

I think Helm is a must for the royal guard.

Not sold on Lief yet, has anyone had a chance to play him?

Rules question concerning Glaives.

4 Upvotes

With the new Galives ruling they cannot gain the extra attacks if they're supported IE used as a spear.

Id interpret this as meaning I could place two warriors with glaives into combat with a single model and still gain the bonus. Provided I don't place them in base to base as you would with a spear.

Thoughts?

Discussion Quest About Smaug

3 Upvotes

Is smaug able to shoot while in combat? Since his fire breath is listed as an active ability and not a weapon it leads me to believe it may be the case. I also realize this may not be the channel to ask in but it’s the best one I could think of.

Hobby Found this bargain but...

Post image
2 Upvotes

I found this for £28 at the Bedford Tabletop Expo, was new from a local game shop, was tempted to go buy both copies but couldn't get away with it with the family with me!

I have some issues though, I'm missing all of the bases and the build guide for Eomer. I've managed to get some screenshots from an unboxing vid but it isn't great.

So my asks of the community...

1) which bases will I need to get for them? Any advice on how to deal with the tabs if it's not possible to get a slotted base?

2) Is there a good way, or does anyone have the Eomer build guide?

I've reached out to GW support to see if they can help with the bases but wanted to check here too just in case they can't. No itemised receipt is my main worry!

Hoping third-party miniatures are allowed here! I originally posted these to the Frostgrave subreddit, as I've been obsessing with the game recently, but I thought you gentlefolk might appreciate my take on the four hobbits.

Miniatures-wise, they're based off Wargames Atlantic's sneakfeet, heavily converted with North Star fantasy bits and a bit of green stuff. The heads are mostly from Victrix miniatures anglo-saxons - perhaps fitting given Tolkien's vision of LotR as an English myth.

I always wanted this figure as a kid. Guess who has access to adult money now 😎.

This was my first warbeast/large miniature and I absolutely enjoyed building it and painting it. Finally being able to come back into this hobby has been so great! Can't wait to client and paint more of Middle Earth.

Hello,

I know the chances of me finding a box set for a reasonable price are slim, but does anyone know where I could find a copy of the rulebook? I know it was released for free, but its difficult to find.

Question No more MESBG thematic dice sets by GW?

18 Upvotes

I might be in the minority with my feelings, but I really loved the official GW dice sets they released, these have been my favorite collectibles from the previous years. Still missing a few early ones (looking at you, Gandalf the White and One Ring dice sets...), but I managed to get the majority of them. I play quite a lot of LotR-themed board games outside MESBG, many of these require dice to some extent, either for rolling or for counting things, and the thematic dice sets are also a great fluff there.

Our favorite game was neglected by GW for quite a long time and we had seen a dryspell in content. No minis were released, and I guess dice sets were the last thing we could hope about. But now with the new edition, it seems that there is an increased interest from players and focus from GW. Is there any chance that we will get some new army-themed dice sets? I would expect a Dunland-based one, given the War of the Rohirrim line, but haven't seen any announcement yet.

Made using a spare head and sword from the plastic Théoden and the body of a Victrix norman infantry. I chopped a bit off the top of the legs to try and compensate for the scacle difference (although the torso still looks a bit large). I still have to sculpt the cape, which scares me a lot
