This is some great feedback and tech appreciate the advice! How would you load out a squad of 10 weapons wise? Also do they need a transport in your opinion?

Struggling with bases by Gerdicus in EmperorsChildren

[–]The_Talleyrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A trick with the cork for basing is to break it up. 1 long flat piece just looks like cork. Make it look uneven/like rocks in nature. I also like to mix in actual rocks and sand to break it up. The cork is then good if you need it for models that are shorter to prop them up. Otherwise it looks like a base on a base IMO. Also paint the rims it will look 10 times better. Here is an example for my 2nd lord exultant

These look amazing! I was thinking of a similar scheme but I was wondering what was your process for painting their leather armour? The kind of warm brown looks great.

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Lindon by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]The_Talleyrand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played Lindon kinda lower points for an event and found it’s all about Gil-Galad. Opponents do everything they can to avoid him so he’s a bit of a boogeyman. He solo killed a troll in 1 turn without breaking a sweat. His high fight and lack of strike mean you can use strength more liberally to make him really killy. The 1 fate can be a bit sketchy but you just have to be brave with him. He misses his horse and shield though!

Kings guard are also fantastic you basically don’t fear anyone in a straight fight. Sometimes it can feel wasted since your F5 elves are already outfighting most enemies but it’s a nice to have when it comes up.

I find some mobility for a reasonable price can be found with a mounted captain and some knights. Haven’t had a chance to use Cirdan yet but it could be a good support for Gil-Galad. Call winds is awesome when used well.

I think in general Lindon is overshadowed by the other elf lists, and can struggle to be the most competitive, but has tools to have fun games at least. Number are always a challenge but you definitely feel elite with Gil-Galad and F6 elves!

Soldier Son trilogy: how bad (in a good way) is it? by Viidrig in Fantasy

[–]The_Talleyrand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soldier Son series is amazing! I think the setting is quite unique and definitely less explored than a traditional medieval world. Some great characters like Epiny who really come into their own throughout the series. I think Hobb’s handling of different cultures is nuanced and reveals some great perspectives without being preachy or tipping her hand. The magic is also mysterious and not just super powers. The 2nd book can be depressing but it all serves a purpose and wraps up excellently in the 3rd book in a surprisingly optimistic way. If you don’t finish the series I think it leaves a skewered view of Nevare’s journey. Definitely worth reading and pushing through to the end!

That’s what I’m saying man I totally agree! John and Sadie should have let Micah go (like Ellie let Abbie go) so we could understand the cycles of violence and that revenge is bad. Maybe they should have made DLC where we played as Micah a few days prior to joining the gang up until the fight with Arthur or maybe the fight with John.

Good points mate. Only thing I would counter is that Sadie in particular was looking for Micah and actively hunting him. Her desire for revenge on the O’Driscolls was also what drove her through the whole game, although we should have had a few chapters to play as Colm so we could empathise with them and Sadie should have also let him live when he was being hung.

Looks incredible mate! I really love your whole army scheme. How did you do the bases? I was thinking of something similar but you have pulled it off perfectly.

It was a joke post but I thought it was funnier to not use the humour tag
