New battle box project + Painting Challenge

Hi all

In the last post I talked about the Dale Battle Box, which I finally finished. Last week I played a game and though I eventually lost (yeah, tons of reasons: battle companies, 2 soldiers missing next game, old battle wound blah blah blah, bad dice, headache, you know), I could apreciate the 4/4+ fight score. And as you can see in the pic the color scheme (which? ;-) ) scares the orcs. 

I mainly started a dale battle company 'cause not many people choose for it. It's almost the same as minas tirith with better stats, more colors and the option to include erebor dwarfs (which have Defence 7 (with shield). 

Anyway, I started a new battle Box project (1 of 2) with erebor dwarfs. When it's finished I can add 24 erebor dwarfs to my dwarven legion, which gives me some versatility in models. 

Battle Companies - Dale

I prepared my Dale Battle Company. Still got them to paint though. I used some scenic bases to create the effect of the ruined city of Dale. This battle company follows the events of the passing of Smaug, scattering the army and people of Dale over the Desolation.

In other news. I really got sacked last week with Khand. But (no thx to our Great Overseer) somehow the dice granted me some after-battle luck. I ended the night with 10 members and started it with 7...
