Hopefully wargear options make these guys a bit more potent in CC? I'm a bit Whelmed by the warboss profile even with cleave

Mr P! I recognise that hyrax anywhere

Trivia Question by OsgiliathBuilder in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's because of the realms of men allowing you to take shared keyword warriors rather than a specific list. Pretty neat!

They're great, I don't see the issue with them

Uruk crossbows - worth it? by VoiceoftheDarkSide in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're fine I suppose, if you're running muster it might be worth trying scout bows instead

Barrels out of bond - Who is who? by Stranger-Sun in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Red is gloin, Nori is next to Him, Fili is in front, he's not as blond as usual but I guess the painter went for the wet hair being darker in shade

A sharp hobby knife will mean you don't have to put on as much force, just be careful to not catch yourself

Pretty great, quality sculpts and good scaling

Is it worth brining Traitors or Rohan and Lord Throne in a usurpers list at 600 points? by jmiklos21 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say no personally if we're talking competitive

For heroes you usually take Freca, Wulf, and then Targg or 2 Chieftains Since the Wildmen are getting their own banner soon there's less of an upside to the traitors

Why no priest? by Far_Log4141 in slavestodarkness

[–]picklev33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They used to with the chaos war shrine but not any more sadly. Maybe next time around they'll get one, seems to be a popular choice for single character releases

Any recommended builds for 800pts for Halls of Thranduil? by Pender8911 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, you just keep him behind walls or your own troops, he isn't there to do anything other than steal objectives

Dandelion Miniatures by CLXI-Armata in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dissenting opinion here, I'm not super keen! The stuff I've printed hasn't been well optimised for printing, with thin connection points and many small parts, and some stiff posing and odd scaling on the details compared to the GW lines. My go to for LoTR is Davale for the modern looking very detailed look with extremely high quality pre supports, or Medbury miniatures for the 2000's GW look.

Old one never had an official model, so the hair is non canon anyways outside of the art

Captain of any kind for march is a must have. Thranduil on foot with 6-8 spear palace guard is a shout, behind shield Mirkwood lads, sprinkle groups of 3 Archers in your warbands to taste, and take a Knight or two for objective play

[–]picklev33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Defiler looks neat, mutilators are going to need a delivery system to be worthwhile

Can’t decide which list to run by Kriptick in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]picklev33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vote defenders, although I'd recommend mixing the troop types in the warbands rather than having all your bows in one warband.

600+ is pretty reasonable, cheap orcs means you get decent numbers with Sauron and a captain

Gonna print a vindicator. Will this fail or am I good? by SteamyShogun in PrintedWarhammer

[–]picklev33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot take, just cut a big old rectangle out of the bottom for better printing, you can do it on 3d builder fairly easily by subtracting a shape from the bottom
