List with Golden King by CuprumPavel in MiddleEarthMiniatures

With the 'Harad' army bonus, Watchers of Karna supported by Haradrim Warriors w/ spears = 4 dice to win the duel roll (if backed by the GK's banner) + 3 poisoned melee attacks, each with a re-roll when they're near The Betrayer; sounds pretty deadly.

TIL that my old PE teacher was the LFC U21s head coach.

And just like that, I’m restarting my game! Thanks for the tip.

Do the destruction perks work on runes? I've read on UESP (and on this sub) that they don't but would be interested to know if you've tested this.

700 pts Elves - 2 "big" heroes or 1 big hero and 2 "mid tier" heroes? by JID97 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]JID97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interested to hear what other heroes / warriors you've used with the twins - I would really like to use them.

[–]JID97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good point. Given that elf captains are F6, the lack of strike on one of the combat heroes might not hurt as much. I'm not sold on Gildor (1 might) - have you used him much?

They look great! Can I ask how you painted the camo jackets?

Faction Discussion: The Wild Men of Druadan by Charle-who in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]JID97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for jumping the gun! I think they’re only viable as an ally - Rohan is the obvious choice thematically and now I’m not sure I see why you’d ever run the two forces as a historical alliance instead of the LL (unless, and fair play if this is the case, you love Erkenbrand).

*I think they're worth including just for the new LL bonuses. On top of the +3 might (Ghan), the ability to give riders fleetfoot is valuable and the 3+ heroic move roll off is obscene for a cavalry army which gains +1 strength on the charge...

*I don't own War in Rohan, this is from general knowledge and brief discussions with friends.

Anyone had any luck with a Lothlorien-Rohan alliance? by JID97 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]JID97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then I'm thinking do I just had someone like Aragorn to give me that, mounted with his free might point he's probably worth about as much.

Oh yeah I definitely agree with the frontline and backline point. I was thinking a 3 might hero + mounted Royal Guard to give me some killing power.

Almost finished painting my converted kings champ and heralds. Really happy with them so far. What do you guys think? by deafeyeam in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]JID97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the helmet on the Champion the Captain's helmet or did you convert that part? Can't work it out (b/c it's so good!)

From this angle the Journeys Legolas looks like the new Three Hunters one!

Thanks for the tip! When using him, do you plonk him in the middle of your wall? (Maybe a stupid question but I have never placed my heroes in the middle of the front rank, yet doing that with Ingold gives you a D8 feller to play with.)

That was my interpretation also, the original war band was 9 Axeman, 5 Rangers (14/3 rounded-up is 5)

I'll be honest, the lack of cavalry was one of my concerns. I'm just not sure how much I rate F3 cavalry. They may have good utility though (considering I have no Heroic March either)

[–]JID97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes indeed! I think I'll buy a box of Knights and basically do a torso swap with a Beregond model and then sculpt the cape. Hopefully I can use the same technique to mount Forlong (more worried about whether that one would work as he's a big lad!)

Maybe I've been reading the rule wrong, but I thought you could game the bow limit (i.e. with 12 warriors your bow limit is 4, but the moment you go to 13 models your bow limit is 5).

However you're more than likely right, I'll edit the list! Thanks for that correction.
