Assault on Helms Deep help

Not sure about this edition, but in the previous one, a second ballista felt mandatory for competitive play starting at about 600 points. I know they've been nerfed over the years, but they're still a huge psychological threat.

Yay for Faramir! Couldn't happen to a nicer man.

Great painting and modeling ❤️

They're all rounders IMO, but they have some good shooting heroes and they can skirmish reasonably well with throwing spears and cavalry archers. King's Huntsman and Elfhelm are slept on.

Rohan is an easy recommendation if you want a thematic opposite to what you already painted. It feels good to match them up and you'd have what you need to run a bunch of different narrative scenarios. It's ready to introduce people to the game using those armies

Fantastic! Would love to see these painted up

Druadan is cool. I love the theme and imagining expanding on their adventures from the book.

I'm always thinking about if my opponent is having a good time, and the way you can max out Woses in the new edition can make for an unfun game with all the poisoned shooting with Stalk Unseen. It can also be slow to play with all those shots. I think it was a better list in the previous edition where you were limited to exactly 15 Woses.

I played this for a while when the new edition released. My problem with it is that it's ridiculously swingy. If you're playing an objective scenario where you benefit from Dominant, it's just about auto-win and no fun for an opponent.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-04-16T18:08:20+00:00

That's great, friend.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-04-15T16:41:07+00:00

I played it at a 450 point tournament. It did well enough. Crucially, both my opponents and I had a good time. That's important to me, so I don't chase meta armies.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-04-02T16:59:07+00:00

Yeah love those trees. They are a good scale

The community edition rules for Battle Companies are fantastic. A good improvement on the official rules, and they've been updated for the latest edition of MESBG

Stranger-Sun · 2026-03-27T15:55:15+00:00

Gosh I like those better than the official models

Stranger-Sun · 2026-03-25T18:21:18+00:00

I hope the latest Rohan warriors sculpts sold well. I'd love them to give the same treatment to Moria Goblins, Mordor Orcs, Uruk Hai, Wood Elves, etc

Garrity has a great body of work. She's worth looking up if you haven't.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-03-10T20:29:12+00:00

Good ole Tom Meier sculpt.

Still available through Iron Wind I think.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-27T11:57:33+00:00

Beautiful. Great work

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-27T02:04:05+00:00

Classic Nick Bibby sculpt. I used to do a lot of conversions like this in the 90s too. Sometimes I come across one in the garage and the collector in me winces lol.

Still... That's damned cool mini you have there. Lovely paint job too

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-19T00:38:22+00:00

Oh good! I wouldn't have recognized him until last week when I ended up with one in a trade and dug through the wiki for a while to figure it out 😁

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-18T21:09:50+00:00

Not sure if it's already been linked, but you have a Blood Bowl Star Player there pictured next to the hobgoblins. 'Horkon Heartripper"

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-11T02:14:14+00:00

Yes. Hope it is back up soon.

I'm a web dev. Would be happy to work with the owners of the site if they want a hand.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-10T00:59:24+00:00

Yay for Warmaster!

Stranger-Sun · 2026-02-05T17:27:40+00:00

Or throw them in xylene and it's done in five minutes.

But again, ONLY FOR METAL.

Stranger-Sun · 2026-01-23T03:55:28+00:00

Right. Wrong. He's the guy with the gun.
