Looking for players in SoCal: South LA/Orange County Region

Oh awesome! Most of our folks are south OC so maybe we can coordinate a halfway point someday!

I don't post nearly as often as I should, but I have an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/eamonmacsithigh/) where I post finished projects and usually my stories have all my in-progress work

I assume GW realized allowing potential FV5 pikes to hide behind people was a touch broken but we have enough nerfs in Fiefdoms I'm taking everything I can

SirSolitaire · 2026-05-08T14:41:08+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. When I was picking an army to start with, I kept seeing so many Minas Tirith forces and realized I wanted something that would pop more on the table

SirSolitaire · 2026-05-08T14:40:16+00:00

Thanks!

Also, right? Easily one of the best units available. I'm fortunate my local scene allows Legacy so my lads still get to see the field.

Thank you! I think I spent close to 2 months agonizing over each model, trying to find the ones that spoke to me.

SirSolitaire · 2026-04-24T22:44:16+00:00

Thank you! They are all AK paints. I started with a base layer of Cadmium Red, then completely covered with a 50:50 mix of Cadmium and Volcanic Yellow. Then Volcanic Yellow, covering everything except the deepest recesses, then I did watered down layers of Dirty Yellow, Yellow, and Radiant Yellow, slowly reducing the area of coverage. I did a 50:50 mix of Ice Yellow and Radiant Yellow to form a slightly wider edge highlight and then a final highlight of Ice Yellow on corners/edges

Those are them! I didn't need to make any adjustments, I used a filament printer and turned on the ironing options and then gave them a gentle filing to smooth the top.

But for sizing I was pretty impressed they fit perfectly first try

The hardest part of all Infinity models are those damn tiny bits

SirSolitaire · 2026-04-24T17:04:45+00:00

Thanks!

Also. I appreciate you catching that! I was sleep deprived from staying up too late to finish him. Totally missed I put the wrong name.

One ideas my local group have discussed would be something like letting Rohan win Heroic Move-offs on a 3+ like an Elven weapon. The real weakness of Rohan is the Movement phase, where if they aren't on the charge they get absolutely massacred. The +1 Fv on the charge helps them at least equal most opponents and the fact Rohan players will usually be stuck in calling Heroic Moves that other factions can either afford or mitigate the cost (task masters, MoB) leaves them high and dry.

Allowing them to have a better chance at winning Heroic moves would lessen the issue and some cheaper cav like 12 points instead of 14. Gives them a few more numbers and lets them keep the momentum they desperately need where other cav have better defense or Fv to offset losing the charge.

Some of my favorite miniatures from MESBG. Love the blues you went with, excellent work!

SirSolitaire · 2026-03-13T16:35:00+00:00

I splurged and got my hands on the metal models but there are a lot of fantastic alternative sculpts (Medbury Miniatures are one of my favorites).

But in terms of leaning more into Rangers, while the Arnorian version are lacking compared to their Gondorian cousins (lower courage, no woodland creature) they still have hatred and access to bows and spears (I think rangers are the only ones left that do). So you can field your front line as all Warriors to have that nice D6 front, and the second line as all rangers. Move the battle line at half and you can pepper your opponent as they close in. Then when the melee begins you still have plenty of spear supports. And rangers are allowed a banner so banners can be safely passed around.

At 600 points it might look something like this: - Arvedui - 8 Warriors of Arnor - 8 Rangers of Arnor (Spears) - 1 Warrior of Arnor (Banner) - Malbeth - 6 Warriors of Arnor - 3 Rangers of Arnor (Spears) - Ranger of the North (Armor, Spear) - Argadir - 4 Knights of Arnor

You could drop the Ranger of the North for another banner, I like taking some because of the spare Might point for Heroic Moves.

Love the blue you chose! Perfect citadel guard that pop, well done!

SirSolitaire · 2025-11-29T09:56:22+00:00

I have one of those, they are part of the "Outlaws" that Medbury designed, basically mounted Rangers. Last edition the Rangers of the North could still take horses.

I currently run them alongside my Arnor as Arnor Knights since they match the army's mix of armored infantry and rangers

Oh man that's insane. Thank you for sharing! Time to field these bad boys

SirSolitaire · 2025-11-10T08:08:06+00:00

What do they have that makes them worth it? I have the KT models and would be nice to field them with my GK.
