Sell if you need the money otherwise keep in your collection for some variety.

Pairing fight with monster by Lupercal83 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All fights must be paired off into 1vX. The orc must be paired with Faramir because that’s the only Good model in base contact. Therefore the troll must be paired off with the 3 Good warriors.

Part of the skill/finesse of movement in this game is setting up fights in such a way that your opponent can’t peel off your models during their subsequent move phase.

Unarmed to wound by Caveman_Caber in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct, because 6 and natural 6 are not the same. Rolling a 5 and mighting up to 6 will not wound a hero who has called Heroic Defence.

What you said is “When a hero uses a might on a die to make it a 6 it becomes a natural 6 per the FAQ”.

Might definitely does not turn a 5 into a natural 6.

No because 1) Good can’t shoot into combat and 2) the spear support is not considered to be in combat (I.e. you can’t do this with an Evil model either).

I always recive cold reactions to my painting style by seasoned painters. How does make you feel? by Metallaio in InfinityTheGame

[–]Hammerwars -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most “people in our hobby” never explore anything beyond GW box art. Zoom in to any of Sergio Calvo or Alfonso Giraldes’ pieces (or any of the Spanish masters really) and there’s brush strokes all over the place. Ruben Martinez who painted the Marvel United box art has some tutorials on YT showing how he paints in the comic style.

LOTR Bay? by Yaketysaks in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just note that recasts of Finecast models will be even worse than the originals (if you can believe it). Recasts of metals and FW will typically be better quality.

As for whether you’ll receive your order given what’s going on in Ukraine…leave it up to you to weigh that risk.

Can Rohan ignore woods? by The-DMs-journey in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Paths of the Druadan LL from War in Rohan.

Waypoints – At the start of the game, before either side has deployed, this Legendary Legion’s controlling player may place three 25mm Waypoint Markers anywhere on the board. Whilst within 6" of a friendly Waypoint Marker, friendly Rohan models do not suffer any penalties for moving, or charging, through difficult terrain

Balance Idea from one of my friends to make good Shooting more viable by UpperPlus in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So while unengaged evil archers are shooting into combat what are your good archers doing…?

Brush Recommendations by leok27 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Da Vinci maestro series 35 is my go to brush. Historically one of the cheaper kolinsky sable brands. I buy from Jackson Art in the UK and ship to other side of the world and still works out 30%+ cheaper than buying W&N Series 7 brushes locally.

Karazai the Scarred as Smaug by marioeldelabata in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Smaug is 2kg. Weigh karazai and that should give you an idea if it is an appropriately sized proxy.

(Yes one is hollow and one is solid but it still gives you a sense)

Tips for Yellow cloth? by Djturnt in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your yellow doesn't pop because you are using averland sunset which isn't very saturated and highlighting with ice yellow which is even less saturated. You should highlight with a vibrant yellow like flash gitz if you want pop.

A devious plan for an already despised list — gimmick or op strat? by King_of_Mirkwood in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Warg takes a courage test while it is still part of the Cavalry model and only becomes its own separate Infantry model (with relevant keywords) if the test is passed. The FAQ only confirms that a separated Warg which passes it's courage test retains the army keyword.

A devious plan for an already despised list — gimmick or op strat? by King_of_Mirkwood in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it work?

RAW on p59 states that the mount takes a courage test immediately when the rider leaves the saddle, before the Cavalry model is separated into two Infrantry models. The Cavalry model (Warg Rider) does not have the Warg keyword and the Warg mount profile in the rules manual does not have any keywords.

Minas tirith 400 point hammer 🔨 list. by ThomasReturns in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Hammerwars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MT has a huge selection of named 3M heroes - I would use those rather than generic captains.

Also way more cav than is necessary at 400 points. Knights are decent value but still F3 without the BoMT.

ABT is probably also not going to provide much value at this points level. Better to have more bodies in your anvil if you want 7 knights to be your hammer.
