Charge of the Rohirrim

Last week we played the first scenario " Charge of the Rohirrim" from the battle of the Pelennor fields boxset. We added Theoden and Gothmog to spice things up a bit.

I played with the Morannon orcs and Jasper took on his trusted Rohirrim. The Morannons spread out to stop the Rohirrim:


The lines clashed in the middle, after two rounds of manouvering.


Gothmog decided to finish off some Rohirrim. Killing two models at once would give me the advantage.


But... he didn't. He failed twice...
The Rohirrim ignored him and ran across the board killing off all Morannons who opposed them.

Conclusion: Short game and an easy win for the Rohirrim. Gothmog and Theoden are a nice addition but it makes the Rohan force even stronger in this scenario.

The scenario is a good starter for new players to get a hang on the game and the movement fase just as intended with this starterset. Not that much interesting for experienced players, but I still want to play through the booklet and give every scenario a try.

Next up:"Theodens last stand"

The battle of the Pellenor fields: finishing the Morannon army

The Morannon update:

I started this hobby after seeing the Return of the king at the movie theater. From that moment I loved the battle of the Pelennor fields and I started my collection with a Minas Tirith army.

The new battle of the Pelennor fields scenario speaks to the imagination. So I set myself a new goal: to collect and paint all the models I need for the scenario.

First update: the Morannon orc heroes.

Guritz and Gothmogs enforcer. I bought them at Ardacon. Lovely models and Guritz will definetly be seen on the battlefield.




I also painted up Gothmog foot and mounted. I love his new rules. He will probably be the centerpiece in every Morannon orc army.



And at last I painted up the remaining commanders I had laying around.




Next up will be the knights of Dol Amroth and some additions to the army of the dead.

I also have to do something on my photo quality. I will probably try to construct a lightbox.

Until next time!

I'me going on an adventure!

Yesss! I'm back.

After more than two years on facebook i'm moving back to our old blog.
Rest assured, we will keep our facebookpage up to date. I will just use the blog more as a personal project.

To be honest, I have missed the blog. I always liked scrolling down through the posts from years past. A few weeks ago we held our annual tournament and I was looking for some pics of the older tournaments; sadly on facebook everything gets lost through time. So I ended up on this blog again and realised everything from the past is still here and accessible after all this time.

As I ame writing this, I'me sitting in my new home at an improvised hobby table (aka the not daily used part from the dining table. Upstairs is my hobby room, a nice big room claimed for the glory of Gondor. Everything still packed in boxes waiting to be sorted out. It will probably take me another good few months until everything is settled.

So this new start for the blog is also the start for my very own man cave. I will keep you posted through the progess!

We're moving to facebook...

Our blog is moved to a facebook page:

We hope to see you all there.

Vallejo undercoat

As a sequel of Little review: white undercoat, I'm here going to let you know my experience with Vallejo Undercoat. In that review I wrote I wanted to test the Vallejo undercoat.

I bought the white, grey and black primer:

I'm very happy with these primers and there're from now my number ones. I find I've a little more control then the Citadel ones.

The ruins of Arnor (part three), some heroes and more spectres

A while ago Corvus miniatures gave a painting class. I brought some hobbits to practise. I finally managed to paint them up completely. I figured I also needed to paint Aragorn to joint the weathertop version of the hobbits and I needed Aragorn for the ruins of Arnor! This is the result:
