Angmar army list

 Ok, I was reading a digital edition of the War of the Ring rulebook, and in the Angmar section for the Angmar Orcs they used Moria Goblin models (which kinda makes sense, considering that Angmar of old was a mountainous country, probably a haven for goblins) 

So I made some army lists for Angmar and the Kingdom of Khazad-Dum and used them in a battle report! (coming soon (probably in January))

Here's the list!

Angmar 1000 (almost) points

The Witch-King of Angmar with 3 Might, 5 Will, 2 Fate, and Crown of Morgul - 175 points

8 Angmar Orcs with shield

8 Angmar Orcs with spear

2 Dead Marsh Spectres

Warband 2

The Tainted - 120 points

7 Angmar Orcs with shield

7 Angmar Orcs with spear

1 Angmar Orc with spear and banner

Warband 3

Barrow-Wight - 50 points

12 Angmar Orcs with Orc Bow

Warband 4

Barrow-Wight - 50 points

10 Angmar Orcs with two-handed weapon

2 Dead Marsh Spectres

Warband 5

Barrow-wight - 50 points

5 Dead Marsh Spectres

Cave Troll with hand-and-a-half hammer

Warband 6

Angmar Orc Shaman - 50 points

Total : 952 points

Have fun playing the game,

                                                            The Rohan General😎

TROLLLLLLLLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 So I was going over the different poses of Cave trolls and, not liking any of them, decided to build my own from scratch!

it's my first full on sculpting project, so let's see how it goes...

The body of the troll is made of some old fellowship of the ring sprues

Here is the troll so far...

So I'll put up another post when I'm finished, so have fun playing the game,

                                                                                                                             The Rohan General😎

Redoing Orcs...

So one day I was going through the old 2002 rulebook and noticed that how drab the Orcs looked compared to mine. :0

So I decided to repaint my own Orcs to look more like the Orcs in the book.

Here's how it turned out!

So pleased with the final results, see you soon and happy hobbying!🤓

One-Year Anniversary of the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game!!!

 Well, it's been quite a year, and to celebrate, I have a new army painted up!

MORIA!

I now have a total of 29 goblins, including a converted Moria Blackshield Captain, Shaman Moria goblin Captain and Shaman, Ashrak + spiders, and a Drum!

THE ARMY!!!

Shaman with a hood

Goblin Captain

THE ONLY MODEL IN THE GAME WHO CAN CAST SHATTER AND TREMOR!!!

"I HATE DWARVES! EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!

Spider

Spider

ASHRAK!

cross-section

Drummer boys

Goblin swordsman

Goblin spearman

 

Goblin bowman

And the battle companies campaign has ended, with TIE DIE as the winner!!!

CONGRATS!!!

TIE DIE!!!

The sergeant with two-handed axe got heroic strike, the sergeant with bow got Expert shot with lethal aim!!! and the leader got LEGENDARY HERO WITH 3 POINTS OF MIGHT AND WILL, AND 2 POINTS OF FATE!!! AS WELL AS 3 ATTACKS AND 2 WOUNDS!

Our cousin's doggo

Battle Companies with Tie Die, Blue Boy, Qwerty, and The Rohan General!

 We finally got all our Battle Companies painted up, so let's have a campaign!

The Rohan General's Mordor Battle Company

Leader: Grishrag

Sergeant: Gugashnakh

Sergeant: Ugrug

Tie Die's Durin's Folk Battle Company

Leader: Durinur

Sergeant: Kurzdul

Sergeant: Dubkul

Blue Boy's Minas Tirith Battle Company

Leader: Arahart

Sergeant: the Sergeant

Sergeant: The Other Sergeant

Qwerty's Goblintown Battle Company

Leader: Khakhanug

Sergeant: Dugalt

Sergeant: Higudlakh

Okay, let's brush up on the house rules, shall we?

The Mercenary Ambush rule from the goblin mercenary captain doesn't need a hero. just the model with the highest courage (hero or not)

At the start of the campaign the Leader is allowed to choose a Path and roll on it, with all the normal restrictions, of course.

Haha, I've got two attacks on the Path of the Warrior, but this is my first Battle Companies game!

If there is ever a Hero that bugs you a lot and can't kill, a bounty of up to 25 Influence points can be placed on him by any player, adding when needed, the player who successfully kills the Hero, permanently collects the influence points in the bounty.

                          Wanted: A Lethal Killing Machine; Dead Or Alive (but preferably dead)

Sergeants can use the Leader's Stand Fast!

Stand together boys, and you'll benefit from my Stand Fast!

Have fun playing the game, The Rohan General😄

Quest of the Ringbearer!

 so Quest of the Ringbearer is finally out (for pre-order), and everybody's rushing to get their hands on it it seems.

Anyway, I'm actually looking forward to Barliman Butterbur and Harry Goatleaf, no spoilers yet as to what they do however :P

                                            Have fun playing the game, The Rohan General.😁
