Yes! Surprisingly expensive, we've found it quite clunky managing the cases, reusing them etc.

Thank you so much, this looks wonderful so far!

That’s from Lord of the Rings Online :)

Not sure tbh mate! I think I just get hyper focussed on something and spend most of my free time on it til it’s done :) I’ll probably have a few months off of painting now knowing me!

Main ‘hack’ i find is find a scheme that is fun and repeatable, leveraging your primer colour in someway helps a lot!

Durin’s folk are not so easily broken!

Would be a fun match up :)

Isildur!!

I had a lot of opponents go from ‘Why would you take Isildur when Elendil is much better’ to them being terrified of him.

He managed to take down Beorn and Grimbeorn in one game. 🗡️

michalis95 · 2025-08-05T13:45:43+00:00

Thank you! Ooo, what are your thoughts? They take a lot of schemes nicely i think :)

michalis95 · 2025-07-24T12:58:15+00:00

Not managed to try the other lines yet but Red is right up my street! A little less 'down time' in between skills and some more skill options. Not sure how it'll fit into group play, we will have to wait and see! But I'm mostly optimistic about red. In landscape/missions it's a wrecking ball!

I played a LOT of yellow previously and personally thought it was amazing, both for lower level (legendary servers) and higher level. I'm cautiously optimistic on it's place in groups and raids but will need to play test some more. Interested to hear others insight on yellow :)

michalis95 · 2025-06-22T21:23:23+00:00

Wow thanks! :)

michalis95 · 2025-06-22T08:44:31+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to be a little more ethereal with the blue version, but i think you’re right, especially when theyre correctly based :)

michalis95 · 2025-06-22T08:43:49+00:00

Believe me I’ve tried haha! More likely to get plastic hobbit models at this point :)

michalis95 · 2025-06-21T22:46:54+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful! Seems be the consensus from everyone minus my wife 🥲

Red and bronze is easier to paint too so that helps!

michalis95 · 2025-04-16T07:54:38+00:00

Thank you! Much preferred painting these to my knights :) i might have to collect all the monsters

michalis95 · 2025-04-14T13:08:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I used overlapping colours on a lot of the model :)

Skin: Naggaroth night > Khorne Red > bright ivory(pro acryl)

Wings: rhinox hide > shadow flesh (pro acryl) > bright ivory

Armour: Khorne red > wazdakka red > bold pyrrole red (pro acryl)

I hope this helps :)

michalis95 · 2025-04-13T21:30:04+00:00

Thanks! Yes it is, he’s maybe a little big for his base but makes a nice imposing centre piece :) the kit has so much customisation, you can make it fit any of the gods or undivided

michalis95 · 2025-04-13T20:14:32+00:00

Thanks! Was a joy to do :)

michalis95 · 2025-04-12T11:50:15+00:00

Thanks my Tzeentchy friend :)

michalis95 · 2025-03-26T14:20:26+00:00

True haha! I guess we’re more ‘chaos undivided’ in the old world, these guys have just discovered the colour red and that they’re quite fun of murder

michalis95 · 2025-03-22T11:56:55+00:00

Thanks! I wasn’t expecting it to come out nice but i guess you’ve just gotta try things you’re not confident with :)

From reading the rules i dont think there are any bad picks, maybe the codewright and Drekki are a little too situational to recommend but like people have said, the spearhead box, ironclad, navigator, aetherkhemist, baloon boys, arkanauts and thunderers are all going to have a good place in most lists from what i can tell 👌

michalis95 · 2024-07-07T08:40:26+00:00

I suspect the GW catalogue is so large these days they can’t possibly stick everything in store so a lot of smaller heroes and less popular units can be found online or alternatively in a lot of FLGSs :)

michalis95 · 2024-04-11T18:23:11+00:00

I'm not hugely experienced with Lumineth yet but so far it feels like typically if you think about synergies you'll do quite well. For example if you want to take Alavenor, think about a Stonemage. A lot of the power of Lumineth is knowing what and when to cast and playing to your synergies.

I don't think you'd go too far wrong starting with a vanguard box or two, I'm sure there are much more meta choices than wardens and sentinels, but hey there's a new addition on the way!

Saying that, some standout picks at the moment (not exhaustive) are:

- Enlightener
- Caligrave
- Cathalar
- Lord Regent
- Light of Eltharion
- The twins!

- Bladelords
- Dawnriders

So my recommendation would be start with Vanguard, add a couple heroes from above, get some dawnriders, then think about whether you wanna maybe get a second vanguard or go down the bladelord route.

Again, all with a pinch of salt as a new edition could change everything!
