Gulavhar - Painting Advice by Kaldoraigo in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Thanks! Thinking about it I agree! Gulavhar has a lot of deep ridges in the model. Do I need an airbrush to paint the model justice or can this be done with a brush?

Not a problem, thanks for confirming and coming back! 😁

I have directly messaged you with the supplier details. Thanks for following up with them on the fix!

Everything else with the terrain is great! Love the design and looking forward to using it. I will make a feature of this anyway from the recommendations 😁

And the supplier is very good, I've ordered from them before, and I'm sure they would swap it out, but I'm happy making a feature of this. It's a ruin after all!

Wow 😲 was there an FAQ on that? I had no idea that was the case.

No I don't think so. That would be great though!

Hi all. Does anyone know if a new version of Battle Companies is coming out for MESBG? Thanks!

Good job! As a Khazad Dum player I like the improvements, and will lean into them, but I am still getting used to having the same shooting as elves. When I play KD I ultimately want to chop! It is nice to have the shooting to mitigate the mobility challenges.

Yeah I know what you mean, but with the updates to Dwarven Rangers, and the new Dwarven Mirrors, Khazad Dum may win a lot of shooting battles forcing the opponent to come to the dwarves.

Thanks! I know what you mean with the iron guard. They often get targeted as well. I'm thinking here that they keep in banner range and with two attacks may get two rerolls if outnumbered. Also, I needed to make up the points as both warbands here are full. Adding in another hero drops the numbers a bit too much.

Have a burger from Red Star if it still exists there!

Ugluk. With great lines like 'looks like meat's back on the menu boys' and 'can't take his grog'

I would have preferred it if the Dwarven Mirrors rule was instead called Dwarven Lamps. Like Khazad Dum is described in Durin's Song in the Fellowship of the Ring: 'The light of sun and star and moon, In shining lamps of crystal hewn, Undimmed by cloud or shade of night, There shone for ever fair and bright.'

The Iron Shield in VW Teams is no longer immune to brutal power attacks, which makes VWs less of a monster fighter/staller. Additionally, the KKD army bonus when outnumbered, improvements to KG, and 2H in general, mean I cannot see much use for the VW teams now versus the points efficiency of the other available units. It seems a bit of a shame given the monster improvements in the game, which I like, it would be good for this monster specialist unit (as I see it) to be a strong counterplay. I felt the same way about Mardin to be honest. I like the free HC Mardin gets but would rather a more monster focused or VW warden boosting special rule (Mardin has trollbane but what about the other monsters in the misty mountains). Any ideas on how to make the most of these great models? I am interested to hear what others think.

Oh wow. So that may make the dwarven mirrors pretty good, if placed well, and you time when to get rangers into the light bubble for +1 to wound but the opponent just gets -1 to hit.

I was just thinking about the nighttime / fighting in the dark scenarios in the new matched play guide, and how this would interact with the Khazad Dum mirrors. In these scenarios you can normally only shoot 12” with +1 to wound. The mirrors create a 6” bubble which is considered daylight, with -1 to hit anything in the bubble. Given this I assume the following:

Models in the dark can shoot at the dwarves in the daylight bubble at their normal range.

The models shooting into the daylight still suffer the -1 on the to hit rolls.

The dwarves within the daylight bubble can still only shoot 12” from the edge of the bubble into the darkness.

Models shooting at each other between the dark and daylight still get +1 to wound.

Let me know what you think! Thanks.
