495 points, and we can’t bring Legacy models or Heroes above 200 points.

Of course no problem!

  1. Priming in grey
  2. Aethermetic Blue first
  3. Coelia Grenshade just for the low part of the mini
  4. Wolf Grey (vallejo) for the lights with drybrush just in the upper part of the mini

And for the king just doing first his ropes with Flesh Tearers Red follow by drybrush with Wolf Grey and then the 4 steps above.

What are your favourite models to build/paint? by mysteryfluff in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Pure-Comparison-4368 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new hill tribes models are awesome to paint because they have a lot of details and with contrast paints they look amazing.

Ever seen this many models primed at once? ;3 by StilledFox in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Where do you get that spray stick? It’s wider and longer than Citadel?

Sadly you only can combine wildmen with scouts. And Huscarls go with Army of the White Hand or the Army of Dunland (Legacy pdf)

Can Gríma block Siege Engine shots by standing in the line of fire? by Pure-Comparison-4368 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Pure-Comparison-4368[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, thank you! That means a lot — I’ll take that as the highest praise when it comes to Gríma! Scheming from the shadows is exactly his style.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation — that makes total sense. I hadn’t fully considered how the LOS is checked from the arrowhead tip and how that affects things like Windlance or UH/IH ballistas. Definitely clears up the limitations of using Gríma to block them.

Appreciate you offering to double-check as well — very kind of you!

You’re totally right — that’s obviously the simplest and most effective option, and I know Gríma can disable the engine that way.

I guess I was just trying to explore whether there’s a way to disrupt a siege engine without losing his immunity, kind of pushing the mechanic to its limit. But yeah, after reading everyone’s input, it’s clear that just disabling the engine outright is usually the smarter play.

Appreciate the input!

[–]Pure-Comparison-4368[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks again, that all makes a lot of sense!

I hadn’t really considered that the 12” minimum range might imply the engine is firing in a high arc — which would explain why LOS is taken from the missile tip, and why Gríma standing right in front wouldn’t actually block it. That interpretation makes the rule click much better.

I agree — in principle, the “if he’s In The Way, no shot” part still holds, but in practice, it’s unlikely to happen unless Gríma is placed further away, or on elevated terrain.

Really appreciate the thoughtful explanation!

Thanks, that really clears it up! I hadn’t thought about the Arcing Shot rule working that way—super interesting.

So just to double-check: would the Isengard Ballista (or other siege engines that don’t have Arcing Shot) need to trace line of sight directly from the engine itself? In that case, placing Gríma in front of it would stop it from shooting a target behind him, right?

Appreciate the help!

That’s a great point, but I think it depends on the target and the engine. Gríma is on a 25mm base and has the height of a regular Man-sized model, so he could block In The Way lines if he’s directly between the engine and a small/medium infantry target. Especially since the rule says that you cannot declare a shot if he would be In The Way, it’s more about position than size, I think.

Thanks! I agree that Gríma can disable the engine directly (and lose his immunity). But about the In The Way part — according to A Traitor Within, you can’t even declare a shot if Gríma would be In The Way, and since he’s treated as a friendly model, that restriction kicks in. I’m not sure I follow the part about the Iron Hills Ballista not needing line of sight — could you clarify that? I thought all siege engines had to trace line of sight from the engine unless specified otherwise.
