im back
i am back to this funny blog for the first time in over a year yippe
I blame real-life things getting in the way as well as my friends getting me into a multitude of different things like TF2 (scout mains unite!). All this to say that I will no longer be really active on this blog anymore as I have a job and other hobbies are getting in the way of sbg, I am running a Discord server as well as being the head of the moderation team of another somewhat large server, if anyone would like to join and say hello to me, I will post the links at the bottom of this post.
That being said, I did find time to work on some projects... I have to pain(t) nearly 250 miniatures, but I've put together some stuff here
I also found enough time to have a battle with Tie Die (aka my brother... :p) so here it is
The forces:
admama: Mordor
Warband 1: The Witch-King of Angmar - Hero of Legend
6 Warg Riders
2 Wild Wargs
Allied force: Goblin-town
Warband 1: Goblin captain - Hero of Fortitude
10 goblins
no I didn't bother with points total for this match; cry about it
Tie Die: Khazad-Dum
Warband 1: Gimli - Hero of Valor
4 Dwarf Warriors with shield
2 Dwarf Warriors with spear
3 Dwarf Warriors with Dwarf bow
Allied Force: The Fellowship
Warband 1: Gandalf
yes most of my guys are unpainted (I still have a lot of work to do)Scenario: Capture and Control (the objectives are Aragorn, Gollum, a ranger of Gondor, an uruk hai with a banner, and an orc warrior with a shield)
Turn 1: Tie Die priority - we set up our guys as shown below
Turn 2: Tie Die priority - we moved men towards the objectives, archers taking pot-shots towards each other, to little effect...
Turn 3: Tie Die priority - I charged one of my Warg Riders into a dwarf; although he did not kill the dwarf, he distracted the man so that one of my archers shot into combat, hitting the poor fool in the throat.
Turn 4: Tie Die priority (again!?)
Tie die, and some of my guys rush to take objectives; in the end, he holds 3, and I hold 2; things are not looking good for Saurons 2nd in command.
Turn 5: Tie Die priority(how is this possible!?!) - Gandalf uses Sorcerous Blast to de-horse the Witch-King; elsewhere on the board, combat ensues.
Turn 6: admama priority (finally!) - I close in on the remaining Dwarves (+ Gandalf) while simultaneously sending a squad of Goblins to take an objective with the help of Heroic March.
An archer takes a shot at Gandalf, but misses.
Breaking news! a man gets his head bit off by a giant wolf! |
unfortunately the goblin is obscured by the uruks banner |
Tie Die: 2 for holding 1 out of 5 objectives, 1 for Breaking my force
admama MVP: the orc who held point uruk-hai
Tie Die MVP: the Dwarf archer who single-handedly was responsible for over 50% of the Good kills
anyway that's all for now,
Auf Wiedersehn! - admama

Radagast the Brown is quite powerful...
New month, new model, this time, the old Radagast mini that I got for free 'cuz I was a NERD!!! (About Radagast, I mean, no offense to Sylvester McCoy😀)
I've had to look up his profile and when I did, I found that he is quite good against mounted models. :0
Have fun playing the game on Zoom!!!
