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!
