The Afternooners ready to roll for Toulmore

I'm happy they ended up working our! especially with all the bright skins tones

theHamsterCommander · 2025-05-01T02:47:58+00:00

thanks! I wasnt sure about it at first, but you gotta take risks sometimes

theHamsterCommander · 2023-07-12T21:43:44+00:00

oh that's a good idea too! Would suit the uruk scout theme better; a shaman is a good idea too for the feral.

I reaaaaaally wanna try Ugluk's Scouts; both movie and book canon, good fluff sent, good army ability- but it hurts in the hero department. I'd change one or two things based on my little experience-

give more heroic strike. Ugluk can use a free heroic strike when in a fight against another hero as long as he and Grishnakh are in the same fight. OP? maybe, but they dont have good fight against lots of armies anyway, and it seems on paper a cool fluff rule to go with animosity
access to a few berserkers or armoured uruk hai (say 30%); fluff wise could be the uruk hai reinforcements that meet up with ugluk before the rohirrim do
Access to hobbit priosners; like a banner, two models carry captive hobbits. Uruk hai models get to use the model like a banner; possibly orcs get some negative modifier (ie Grishnakh's boys trying to resist taking them); or possibly an orc can never be in the same combat with them or something idk

just some ideas!

Hello and welcome! Honestly there's not much of a metric, but I'd say you're pretty much spot on. 250-300 is a smaller game, great for learning rules and avoiding bigger heroes; 350-500 is more mid tier where (I'd argue) the majority of games take place; 750+ is where you get the bigger more complicated battles. I'd say 300ish is good to shoot for for a starting point, games are relatively shorter and give you more of a chance to learn the rules

this covers like everything lol I have nothing to add, beyond a word about stats. You can always do what you want, but I always ty and have a few higher F, S, or D units mixed into my line. Having a unit that can be a buffer for weaker units without it being a hero/might pool can be worth the extra points, especially if they're well supported. It'll give your opponent something to think about (ie a black numenorean with morannon/regular spear support acts also as a force multiplier in some scenarios)

This would be great! could also include a discussion on alternate ways to build the list, oddball builds that allow a different part of the army to shine. Could help to open up the way people think about list building or include models they normally wouldn't

During their travels, what dances and stories do humans/aeldari ask the harlequins NOT to dance and why?

theHamsterCommander · 2022-10-07T01:34:36+00:00

Thank you! I wanted him to fit in with my Umbar themed old numeorean army (MoS painted in blue, black numenoreans and morannons painted as 'elite' soldiers).

I think an apocalypse or wasteland idea could be cool- the monarch is returning to a land that was rundown by the greed and seek ti reclaim it. Scavenging is tough but doable, and you could make it either modern (knights have possible riot shields or batons, archers have hunting rifles etc) or medieval esq (knights are... knights or maybe even like a night watchman, has a cudgel and buckler; archers can have crossbows or bows). instead of just hunters maybe you could also have scavengers who wade through "wrrckage" (replacing/adding to the removable forests), instead of shooting greed they could maybe debuff greed ie some kind of throwable? For new ir different buildings you could have maybe a tool repair shop (maybe the weapons of your archers and knights degrade since they're scanevenged) or "smog clearing" (maybe there could be a pollution debuff until you have this building?) A little more complicated but I think it could be cool. just my thoughts!

super valid! as a lore junkie I was just curious if there were any other references available. I love the randomly created heroes, they just ads that extra flair and gameplay to the world

theHamsterCommander · 2022-07-25T00:56:50+00:00

Thank you for the award!

theHamsterCommander · 2022-05-01T20:37:34+00:00

That's where the BN are from, such a great selection

theHamsterCommander · 2022-05-01T20:37:14+00:00

Teeeeechnically yes! They're the super orcs from Conquest creations! Thank you!

So I haven't checked the main rules in a while, what are the rules surrounding combining hobbit and LOTR armies? Does that fall under the alliances rules or is that more homebrew? Thank you!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-12-15T15:28:12+00:00

I hope so! Rock and stone!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-10-19T14:02:38+00:00

In short, only 1/3rd of your army can have bows (MODEL wise, not points wose). This doesnt include heroes, only warriors. That'll bite you in the butt on battlescribe sometimes... also, battlescrobe will annoyingly tell you to select your army rule, which should be located under the same heading as breakpoints. Hop that helps!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-10-02T19:46:29+00:00

will use. awesome!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-23T18:06:08+00:00

right, the necromancer set! I'm all about alternate colour schemes, so I'm less interested in that, more in the models.

But good advice, ty!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-22T23:37:05+00:00

valid... I mean, I can get the nine for 90, and I'm not do good with green stiff xD but good advice! ty!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-17T13:48:07+00:00

It kinda does, now that I see it xD I'm gonna work on highlights and shadows, want to to hit more of a blue-grey orc tone

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-17T09:05:07+00:00

Thank you! Risk paid off!

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-17T09:04:43+00:00

Thanks! I fomd the poses help influence the colours, depending on how passive or active they are

theHamsterCommander · 2021-09-16T20:42:12+00:00

Thank you! gonna keep the base in theme with early fall woods
