The Ultimate Middle-Earth SBG Thread

[Imrahil]

In prep for a recent 800pt game, my opponent and I both agreed to some commonsense house rules regarding playable models. With the jump to the new edition, both of us had lost a few options for our respective armies, be it model wargear options or full-on models altogether (he lost his entire Kingdom of Moria collection, among other things), so our tentative agreement is to allow for models or model options we purchased and built previously to be ported over within reason (i.e. no Isengard Trolls in an Uruk-Hai Scout formation).

This, coupled with the realization that I could legally run an Arnor army as a Realms of Men army instead of being obligated to take King Arvedui, led me to putting together the following list:

Realms of Men (Arnor) 799/800

Heroes of Legend (303)

• King of Men (Arnor) w/ heavy armour, horse (100)
  • 4× Knight of Arnor (60)
  • 1× Hobbit Archer w/ Warhorn (30)
  • 1× Warrior of Arnor w/ Banner (33)
  • 10× Warrior of Arnor (80)

Heroes of Fortitude (496)

• Captain of Arnor w/ Shield (60)
  • 1× Warrior of Arnor w/ Banner (33)
  • 10× Warrior of Arnor (80)
• Captain of Arnor w/ Shield (60)
  • 1× Warrior of Arnor w/ Banner (33)
  • 10× Warrior of Arnor (80)
• Captain of Arnor w/ Bow (60)
  • 10× Ranger of Arnor w/ Spear (90)

Nice list. Interested to hear how it went

Grrr, !mrahil

Interesting rules, very tactic driven

No mention as to whether he's plastic or resin... wouldn't be surprised though if he's plastic, while more major characters from other (more interesting and actually fantastical) factions remain in Forge World Resin...

OK, this is really cool

This looks like a new future non-Human model

Yeeeeahh, but it'll likely only ever be used in a scenario from one specific scene from a film very few if any people care about, so it might as well not exist.

Also it'll likely be Forge World resin which means it'll be overpriced and possibly annoying to put together... as GW only want to make mostly humans from either side in plastic these days it seems.
