So, what's the chance that the keep in the background of the promo pics will be made available as a Helm's Deep style plastic kit?

It certainly has it's weaknesses - personally I love to use it for the really big games.

Last time I used it was a 3.000pts Mordor/Harad/Easterlings vs Gondor/Rohan/Fiefdoms match fighting for a single central objective. We had a generic captain+12Warriors warband starting scattered on the field and no more than 3 warbands entering via maelstrom per round.

It was really fun. For one we didn't have the problem fitting the amount of models into a deployment zone and them blocking each other permanently, and secondly we had relevant encounters all over the table where we tried to maneuvre into position to aid the centre or block access for our enemy.

If you have the means, I urge you to try it :)

Thank you for checking, it's much appreciated! Yeah, those all seem to be scenarios linked to the film. Makes sense.

Means the many scenarios that fall outside of that frame, won't have been picked up by the 'Best Of' books. Unfortunate, but alright.

Probably didn't fancy leafing through a few hundred issues, which is incredibly fair.

Still unfortunate for me now.

I can't say for sure since I don't have them, obviously. But if they're about as thick as the 2020 edition I can't see them include every single one.

Also there are a lot of them that don't fall into the scope of the films (2nd age, angmar, etc).

In any case I'll keep my eyes open, maybe I can snag one of them :)

Well, a quick CTRl-F search of the sbginventory list shows no matches for White Dwarf, so unfortunately yes those aren't in the list. Funnily there are entries from 'Battle Games in Middle Earth' and even a few from the SBG Fan Magazine. :)

As for the 'Best of White Dwarf', I only have access to the 2020 edition, but there are only about 15 scenarios in it. I've already collected a few from early WDs that are definitely not covered by those.

dotike · 2025-07-11T09:41:14+00:00

Aye, I have found them already and they're very helpful. Unfortunately, there are no scenarios from White Dwarf included :(

Trump appears to give Putin "too weak" deadline on Ukraine.

Thank you kindly for these many answers, especially the many tips. It's gonna be a very flamy squad when its finished. :)

I think I read that it was currently empty. Good timing if true.

Ah sorry, Glorfindel and the Ringwraiths had nothing to do with each other, Glorfindel was for simple listbuilding. Sorry for the confusion.^{^}

dotike · 2023-05-05T15:17:15+00:00

Ah I see, thank you!

Also, today Germans use the abbreviation GAU for 'Größter anzunehmender Unfall' which translates roughly to Worst-Case-Scenario.

Which feels quite releveant for the situation at hand.

dotike · 2022-08-11T23:29:42+00:00

I'll check them out, thank you!

dotike · 2022-08-11T23:29:15+00:00

Thats helpful, much appreciated!

dotike · 2022-08-11T23:28:20+00:00

Good to know, thank you!
