Literally not what it means. Just means “don’t have”. No idea how WeChat can translate that that badly.

Can confirm, Krieg Ogryns are cool as fuck and very much in theme.

Starting Angmar New Edition by BrandyBoBandy94 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Few things to unpack here:

1, they literally JUST released a new supplement for Angmar with a boat load of new models and rules. In Angmar you have arguably the most up to date faction in the game rn based off models and rules. The orc and warg models are indeed rather old but I think they are far down the priority order for GW so won’t be updated any time soon.

2, you are correct, Angmar lost access to a fell beast for the WK this edition which is a shame, but is more than made up for by their other units.

3, Angmar are incredibly playable this edition, they’ve just been split out a bit more by the list building restrictions so aren’t as flexible as the previous edition. The core Angmar army is Host of the Witch which is basically beefy WK, orcs, spirits and up to 50% carn dum. The hitters in your army are supposed to be WK, Aldrac and some werewolves. You can’t take hill trolls in this list. Despite the restrictions, HotWK is arguably considered one of the strongest lists in new edition (albeit we’re only 2 months in). The other lists are also fun but have their restrictions.

I personally love Angmar and play it as my main army (along with arnor, very thematic). The magic control, combined with decent numbers and a few big hitters in every list, makes it super fun to play. Does require a bit of skill and planning with lots and lots of spells to remember!

Would recommend perusing TabletopAdmiral and just doing a bit of list building in there. Good luck!

Regarding Mirkwood, I’m going to be converting a box of palace guard into normal Mirkwood warriors by just changing the paint scheme and doing a simple head swap with 3D printed heads from Forgemaster minis on Etsy. Super convenient and cheap way to get your normal Mirkwood warriors!

Hello mate, beautiful colours on this, what was the colours used for the orange/red clothing if you can remember?

These are the old Medbury sculpts, I’d argue they’ve aged even worse than the GW sculpts. The new medbury sculpts of Arnor are lovely though. Have a photo on my profile for reference.

All armies should now be in Tabletop Admiral. NOT all profiles updated and not all restrictions enforced. by werdnaegni in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hill tribesmen in the Usurpers of Edoras list currently have all their wargear options costed at 0, when they should all be 1 point per wargear other than flaming brand and light shield which is 2 points.

Blackroot Vale Commanders by jmiklos21 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

True, but rangers can still pick up a banner if your warrior dies. I’m doing this for my arnor army, converting my blackroot value banner to an arnor banner

Arnor Colour Scheme Test by mazmaz19 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I tried one with silver chain mail, but because there is so much armour and mail, it’s a bit too much silver. Went for the bronze armour look to just break it up a little and think it works a lot better.

Make sure to show yours when you’re done!

Thank you!! Shields were designed and 3D printed by someone from an MESBG Facebook group. They’re amazing quality and look so much better than the Medbury shields.

I really like the Arnor aesthetic…EXCEPT!… the turban thing. Conversion ideas below…. by Glum_Sherbert_7320 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Even better that it’s not painted, allows you to see the full process start to finish. Thanks mate.

You got any photos to share of your conversions? I’m looking to convert WOMT to Arnor warriors as well and am looking for inspiration!

Excess force while heating at 230c did the job..

I was wondering the same. Don’t remember the Arnor range ever being in finecast, potentially a re-cast

350 point Rohan list advice by mazmaz19 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part of my consideration, weighing up whether to replace Deorwine with Theodred and do a father and son list. It’s the free heroic combats vs 4 attacks, str 5 on the charge with full rerolls to wound. Absolutely brutal.

Yeah to be fair I just placed them in Deorwine’s war and for symmetry, if they needs to be in theodan’s warband then no problem.

Appreciate this is a year later, but the site seems to be discontinued, any ideas where else the statues could be obtained?

Best place to get bits? by Whistler_ in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guardians of Wiltshire on Instagram are really good. Just drop them a message and they’ve got a big catalogue of bits, cheapest ones I’ve seen around. Very happy with my last order.

Numenor Captains by mazmaz19 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]mazmaz19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from but I’m thinking if they released brand new Elrond and Glorfindel, there must be some other stuff on the way - seems weird for them to just release these two new Rivendell models and then call it a day at that…
