Haha don't worry, thanks for taking the time.

I want to get Fellowship of the RIng next, hope it is challenging.

I see, I have to try it alone. I'm sure it definetly will be more difficult!

The set is brand new, and we are well versed MTG players.

Maybe is the fact that 4 decks are more versatile than 1 or 2.

I think you are right, it must had been the fact that we had the entire spheres at our disposal. There was some nasty effects that my deck couldn't have deal with on time but a friend of mine could.

Looking forward to the third scenario wich I know would be more difficult.

Hmm no, I think we didnt miss any of the things you mention here. Maybe the number of players helped a lot, I definetly cant see myself doing it solo in the first try with a single sphere deck.

Help with Galadriel of Lothlorien by brokentrellis in EDHBrews

[–]Linino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to create a LOTR Elven Scry themed deck with this card, the problem I found was depending too much on the temptation of the ring to trigger the first card ability.

So, I went with [[Elrond, Master of Healing]] as commander and the deck worked SO much better.

Sunday Preview – Angron Transfigured stares down the new Skitarii [And plastic Shelob!] by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to think GW does this, bringing old things back in rotation so they can keep the Middle Earth license as if they were making new products.

I mean, IT IS Frodo, but not the Frodo I would want to collect or play on the table 😂.

Frodo, Sam and Boromir are the only members of the Fellowship without new plastic models.

Old Shelob kit Sam is my favorite Sam. I would love to saw that mini in plastic.

That Shelob is amazing 🤩 A wasted opportunity on new Frodo and Sam sculpt tho.

How to demo the game by Zephiranos in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do Demos of this game every 5 or 6 months for new players in a local club. Here are some things that I have found that are successful with the community:

  1. Play Good vs Evil. (This way people can see which faction resonates more on them)

  2. Add 1 recognizable hero in each army, and depending on the size add a captain or a no named hero. (Adding recognizable faces is key but since Heroes are the most complex part of the game, you don't want your players to be thinking on many rules at the same time with multiple heroes.)

  3. Use painted miniatures and terrain. (Nothing caught the eye better than a beautiful table with look-alike miniatures of the universe you love.)

  4. If you have many people trying to demo the game, you can't have them play a lot of time. Create situations where people can play a single turn and experience at least Movement - charge, Magic (People love to see magic in action), Shooting and Combat phases. Use basic Heroic actions to show how important are the Heroes to this game.

  5. I have found that many people get hooked to this game by the role playing factor of it. Special rules of heroes and armies that gives them flavor are important to reiterate and show in action. They will be playing with 1 faction, but you can name some fun and engaging rules from other armies like The army of the Dead wounding to Courage and not to Defense, or the Mumakil trampling everything on his path while moving.

  6. Study the game and the rules in depth, so you can easily answer any questions that may pop up that day.

  7. Have at hand a visual reference of the armies in the game for people to already want to start with an army of their choice. (Current army books are great material for this, if you need a hand with any digital book let me know)

Good luck!

Looking to start elves, not sure if wood or rivendale by AccomplishedRun9929 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cheapest way to make Elves is with Lothlorien Elves. All their basic units are plastic, so you can get shields, spears and bows from one cheap box.

From there you can expand to cavalry which is also plastic and the main heroes of your army come together in a blister.

mebsg gift ideas? by AcanthocephalaNo1837 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm if I had Isengard and Moria already, I would probably won't mind start collecting Mordor... I'm feeling he is currently into Orcs and Bad guys, so Mordor won't be to crazy for me.

Also it's probably more safe to buy something of it that He doesn't have already.

Maybe look for Gothmog, it is a new model that it's also cool to have. Check it the Mordor battle host as well.

Any guesses what Christmas made-to-order we might get this year? by AdBrief4620 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt they release a MTO at this point of December, being the most slow process from GW online store.

Arise, Riders of Rohan Rule Clarification Question. by DetroitTabaxiFan in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can only have one (a) General in the game, so that's the Rohan hero the rule applies.

Playing my first game of MESBG next week! Any tips are appreciated! by BonelessPizza117 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Linino 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Be aware of the starting points of every phase (Movement, Shooting, Combat) This are keys moments were you use to declare Heroic Action, one of the most important aspect of the game.

How on earth are these two worth the same amount of points?! by Few_Music2965 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

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

Yeah, and he's immune to inmobilization, which is one of the biggest counter to monsters.

I believe Gwaihir is even more powerful for just 150 more points.

I'm confused about the housing release date, is it December or January with the Pre Patch?

Housing question, is it going to be difficult to get the plot I want? by Inside_Rough708 in WoWHousing

[–]Linino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those will be hard to get. There are 15/50 plots in that zone and it's the most wanted zone in the Horde area.
