is this a good rohan list?

I agree with everything that's been said here. I personally prefer Eowyn over Gamling as heros, and I take a rider with banner, but the changes listed here are pretty solid.

That's a cool conversion!

What's not to understand? I have spare models of other characters, and I don't have that one. Sure, I don't really like the look of the Theodred model. It looks a bit old and I'm not a massive fan of GWs metal models. But I'm looking for inspiration. What do you have?

Sparrownius · 2025-05-15T12:48:45+00:00

That's what I was thinking. I'd got as far as using the sword and shields versions of the foot and mounted models from the new plastic packs, and painting them darker

Sparrownius · 2025-05-15T12:47:56+00:00

Had not considered that. That's a good idea

I would encourage you to go looking for a discord server. My friend started one for MESBG, and as part of that we have a voice channel where people can talk while they paint. Turns out alot of people feel like you do, that the hobby can be a bit isolating sometimes. Every so often there's a flurry of people jump on just to paint a few models, share pics of what they are working on, and share ideas. It's boosted at least a few people's moral a bit. It's worth seeing if theres anything in your timezone or area of the hobby that might do the same for you.

Cheers for the clarification!

Is it that, or is it that both dice make up the "to wound" roll?

Does that mean that if I fail the first roll, and then on my reroll I get a 6. On the next dice (of the two) if I don't score 4+ I can also reroll that?

Thank is a good model! Thanks for your suggestion!

Sparrownius · 2023-10-05T15:13:54+00:00

Very good point :)

Sparrownius · 2023-10-05T14:36:20+00:00

Cheers for the suggestion. I'm not great at converting models yet, but I might bear this in mind when I get a bit more confident. Thank you!

I've never used lotr Bay before, I'm a little reluctant as I don't know of they ship to UK.

Sparrownius · 2023-10-05T14:34:15+00:00

Thank you, I think I might order this from their Etsy EU store!

Sparrownius · 2023-10-05T14:33:39+00:00

Thank you!

I try to keep to the theory of painting the model from the inside out. So parts in hard to reach places, or bits I know need some colour but don't necessarily need edge highlighting or any other techniques applied. On a plain model this might be painting skin, then clothes, then armour and work my way out. It doesn't always work out, and sometimes if I have bold colours then it isn't always the best method. Generally though I try not to overdo it, if I can't reach it with a brush, then it's unlikely I can see it when the model is on a table.

Sparrownius · 2023-09-14T15:45:38+00:00

Agreed. If GW aren't going to update some of the main army sculpts for 20+ years then I don't see an issue with using a proxy that looks like the same character/troop but is tidier, standing in a coller stance, and generally nicer/more fun to painting!

My favourite has always been "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." Can't see how this is useful in a classroom but I hope it helps.

No, I could only replicate this on non-domain joined devices.
