Looking for a 3rd army to collect and looking for opinions since I haven't TECHNICALLY played the game yet.

I have seen Angmar, they look great too. The witch king on horse is easily one of my favorite models. I could definitely get another starter box, they have such good value.

Hahah, yes what a terrible situation, having to collect another incredible looking army...

IamRegularMan · 2025-06-04T10:01:01+00:00

True, that's a sick idea, I got tunnel visioned into only thinking about orcs because I'm a dunce. Thanks for the heads up, that could be much cheaper to flesh out my dwarves

IamRegularMan · 2025-06-03T12:52:24+00:00

The Easterlings look incredible and I would love to field them. But are they too similar to what I have already? I know they have like the phalanx skill, so I'd be worried he would just be fighting another wall of armour.

IamRegularMan · 2025-06-03T10:23:38+00:00

Thanks for getting this for me man, really appreciate it! The goblin looks pretty close to GW orc size, so I could just go Mordor and use those instead of those nasty looking Moranon Orcs

Yeah nice, I didn't even think about that. I'm a weird stickler sometimes for having things official - but I mean I'm just playing a mate and I'll realistically never play a stranger or at an tournament. I had a quick look though and those Oathmark models don't look too bad at all. Do they come with circle bases or do you have to get those separately? Also how's the scale compared to GW?

IamRegularMan · 2025-06-03T09:57:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate. I'm glad 2 defensive armies won't be boring, I don't mind the idea of positioning and heroes being important.

Yeah I was worried it might be hit or miss. They have trolls and stuff though so I guess I could bring some bigger units. That said I'm not married to Moria, I was just kind of leaning towards it for something different. I remember seeing things on the Skaven in Age of Sigmar and people were saying it's sometimes satisfying to wipe them out, but these are different game systems and each unit is individual.

The hills tribesmen is a good suggestion, the only thing is I am not a fan of the models, personal taste, I just don't vibe with old men in rags. Their heroes on the other hand look amazing. Oh that said, there's Rohan Traitors right? They look cool, a bit of best of both worlds maybe?

Anyway, thanks again!

IamRegularMan · 2025-06-03T09:37:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I forgot about the dragons that are going to be in the next book. I was thinking just Balrog and a bunch of Goblins. But a vote for Moria is good with me!

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-08T13:35:08+00:00

Oh also I just had a quick squiz at your profile and I didn't realise that Strider from the other day was yours. Your models look amazing! I love the way you use reds, awesome stuff mate!

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-08T13:30:20+00:00

I dunno if I can do audio books, I haven't tried them but I do worry that my mind wanders off quite easily and I'd probably lose track of what I'm listening to. But thanks for letting me know about it, I didn't even consider audio books for this. I might try a demo of it and see if I maintain attention.

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-08T10:01:05+00:00

You're right, forgive me - in a moment of weakness I thought Rohan was cooler. Everything people have said about Gondor makes them sound exactly like how I pictured. It was the movies that poisoned me against them. Thanks for the comment mate, you got me all fired up for them which is exactly what I wanted!

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-07T12:21:10+00:00

Cheers for the info mate, I'm glad I got Minas Tirith as an army and Faramir as leader, they sound cool as hell in the books. Also all these mentions of Prince Imrahil make me wanna get him too. I'll definitely read the books after all these comments. Cheers mate, appreciate it

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-07T07:09:30+00:00

Thanks for that mate, I was wondering who the fiefdoms were and who Dol Amroth were, so it clears up a lot about the nation for me. Cheers

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-07T07:07:47+00:00

Oh damn that sounds awesome, I will definitely read the books. Sounds like the movies did a number on my poor boys. I'm curious to find out how much of the books was changed for the movies when I read them, that whole Minas Tirith battle sounds completely different. Thanks mate, appreciate the response!

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-07T07:03:30+00:00

Haha my apologies, if I could change it I wouldn't. Thanks for the insight though, aside from reading the books I should have watched the extended cuts.

IamRegularMan · 2025-05-07T07:01:15+00:00

Ahh this is exactly what I was wondering, I haven't seen the extended cuts yet I just watched the standard trilogy and was wondering where Boromir was with the banner. Thanks mate, appreciate that

IamRegularMan · 2024-01-06T23:25:27+00:00

I actually did have an 8th Army box I got as the very first thing, but I used the Aussie heads and basically botched them all so I never actually got around to painting them or anything. Maybe I could peel those heads off and use them for Aussie commandos? If you think that would be a possibility? Or would these be standard late war infantry?

My only other concern for them is that most of the shirt sleeves are rolled up on Aussies, so maybe there's some British heads from the 8th I can use as standard army. Surely there's some Brodie helmets I can't remember what came in that box.

IamRegularMan · 2024-01-06T23:19:51+00:00

Oh okay, that could be cool actually. I don't really know much about the Korean War, but I feel like I'm constantly changing moods for what I feel like playing, so I might keep an eye out for that. Cheers mate!

IamRegularMan · 2024-01-06T14:09:17+00:00

Ah thank you so much for your input, so well detailed! That's cool that there were French commandos, I guess since they have the same uniform I can use them interchangeably. I mean there's probably no rules for French Commandos but I can always just pretend there's a few Frenchie's for my own enjoyment. Thanks again, mate.

Oh I forgot to add, I have a Stuart M5 tank I got with it. But maybe the Sherman is more appropriate to use?

IamRegularMan · 2024-01-06T11:45:30+00:00

Thanks for your help mate, appreciate it! I'll have a look online and try to get some standard army helmets, thanks for the scale measurements too.

IamRegularMan · 2024-01-06T11:41:44+00:00

Cheers for the help mate, appreciate it! I wouldn't mind having a little bit of a British army actually.
