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.


wha-




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.

Turn 7: Tie Die priority(...) - Tie die prepares to make his last stand around objective uruk hai; Gandalf is Wounded by a goblin but chooses not to Fate it; my goblins overpower the lone archer defending the ranger objective and take it.
Breaking news! a man gets his head bit off by a giant wolf!

Turn 8: admama priority - I manage to get a dehorsed Warg Rider and a goblin onto objective uruk-hai, neutralizing it; now all I need to do to win is to keep them alive until the game ends...
unfortunately the goblin is obscured by the uruks banner

Turn 9: Tie Die priority - he kills the goblin but fails to take out the orc, my forces are Broken, I roll a 1, and the game ends!

Final Score: admama - 4 for holding 2 out of 5 objectives, 1 for wounding Gandalf in the melee combat in turn 7.  

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
