Yes! There is a tournament again. This time organized by Corné from Humble Wargaming. It will be a 650 point single event, a point value which was a favorite of mine in the last edition. I’ll be excited to see how it holds up in this one. I’m praying that there will be no Eagles or Dale, since I’m already pretty tired of seeing them. But let’s talk about what I’ll be putting on the table! I’ve been quite busy Read more
The black gate! An iconic moment in the books and movies when they first have, a very diplomatic, chat before duking it out on the planes of the Morannon. In the books there are hill trolls present but since they go by the movies this edition, you will have to make do with Mordor trolls. Let’s take a closer look at what other creatures storm out of the black gates. Army bonus Greatest of the Trolls – The Mordor Troll Read more
Hey Reader! This time we will be doing no comparisons, because today we are looking at a brand new army list. Something which really sparked my interest when I first saw it released. It’s Minas Morgul! Army bonus: The Dead City – Mordor Orc Captains and Mordor Orc Warriors gain the Blades of the Dead special rule.Call of Morgul – If the enemy Army contains a Ringbearer, they will suffer a -1 penalty when rolling for Sauron’s Will.Lead through fear Read more
Hey Reader! I hear drums… drums in the deep. That’s right, today it is time to talk about what in my opinion is one of the coolest armies in middle-earth, Depths of Moria. Currently, it’s the only way to play Moria (evil) and I’m glad this is the army that we still have available. Don’t get met wrong I’m still itching to get back into “normal” Moria, but there is something about the Balrog which is just so Lord of Read more
Hey Reader! This is the third week in a row that I’m attending a tourney in the weekends, and I’m not complaining. Just like last year the points level that we will be playing at is 759. This number symbolizes the pages remaining from the chapter “The ring goes south” in the first edition of LOTR. Coincidentally, I also think this to be a good points level for the new edition as most stuff got a lot more expensive. This Read more
Hey reader! Thanks for joining me for the second 100 pointer of the new edition! The Rotterdam White Scars are known for consistently organizing the biggest MESBG events in the Netherlands. This time around the points value for the games played was to be 500. This struck me as odd, since most of the RWS events I have been to are around 700 points. In my opinion, the new edition plays a lot better around this point value, so 500 Read more
Hey Reader! Two weeks ago I attended my first ever siege tourney. I think it was a first for most people in the hobby, which made it a bit experimental. You never knew what to expect, that is from the scenario’s, boards, and your opponents. Most people, like myself, brought catered lists which we will get into later, and there was a variety of siege equipment used, though some were clearly more liked than others. Every person had to bring Read more
Hey Reader! Some factions caught my eye in the new edition, one of them being none other than Rivendell. I believe that this faction has gotten a bit of a glow up in the new edition, so let’s dive in and see what has changed! Army bonus: Old edition – “Tangado Haid, leithio i philinn!” – While within 6″ of the army’s leader, friendly Rivendell models may re-roll failed To Hit rolls when making shooting attacks in a turn in Read more
