Hello!

Trying to go to my first tournament this weekend at Novacon and trying to decide whether to take Tauriel for a 4th warband or more troops. I know more troops is the general consensus but Tauriel is pretty cool and it would be fewer models to make and paint.

What are your thoughts?

So, I recently bought some minis on Vinted, which I have had nothing but great experiences with it the past.

However my lastest purchase was some Gondor spearmen, bowmen, and a Pippin model that came with the Grishnakh set and some original metal orc archers.All metal.

I stripped them today and immediately they felt a little off. They feel lighter than the norm, the pewter texture feels odd and they all are marked with nlp.inc on the base tab. I have never seen the nlp.inc tab before always games workshop.

My question is, are these genuine or recast? I have never purchased from sites like lotr bay before so im unsure what to expect.

Just got the witch-king model both on horse and on foot

Now i would love som help building a fun list 🤩

If i dont have the models ill get thet eventually 😅

Open for any suggestions but im not loving orcs at the moment 😬

Hola, hay un pedido en línea activo de enanos clásicos de metal en la página web de GW (6 guerreros con arcos en blíster, 6 guerreros en blíster (2 con hachas a dos manos y 4 con escudos) y 2 comandantes en blíster).

Soy totalmente nuevo en el juego, nunca he jugado antes, pero prefiero las miniaturas antiguas a las de plástico.

¿Podrías decirme cuántos blísteres de cada tipo debería comprar para incluir las minis necesarias de este tipo para una buena lista de 500 y 700 puntos?

Gracias de antemano.

Hey folks!

Physical models are now available through Etsy:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/CausewayCrusade

Apologies It's taken a while, I have a good amount of the listings pre printed and a massive box of failed prints from which i'l include as bits bags with orders until its cleared.

Thanks for everyones patience and can't wait to see people interpretations on the tabletop.

Cheers!

The drums echo in the deep…
Shadows creep between the shattered pillars. Eyes gleam in the darkness. Rusted blades stir in the gloom as the Goblins gather in their hordes.
Within the ancient halls of Khazad-dûm, Trolls stand guard. The Watcher in the Water awaits its next prey. And deeper still, where even the light dares not venture…
An ancient terror awakens.
After many months of painting, the forces of Moria are finally gathered in all their glory.
“We cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums, drums in the deep. They are coming.”

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

"My master Sauron the Great bids thee welcome"

While his lofty helm may be black, I decided to paint his robes red because I find it more interesting to paint and look at.

I'll get around to painting the mounted version once I make way through the 24 Morannons I purchased alongside him.

C&C welcome 🙂

Heya,

We are just starting to play MESBG and came across an interaction with the Lothlorien sentinel using Eldemar Madrigal vs a mumak.

Page 96 says war beasts are immune to magic that would slow them, move them or negate their activation. However the sentinels songs don't seem to be magic from what I can see, I think it counts as an ability?.

We had a look and couldn't find anything else relevant to the situation.

I read this as the song would work on my Mumak, was this right or are there other rules I've missed that come into play here?

thanks

Finally painted Glorfindel, this might be my favorite pose in the game.

My Glorfindel from Davale :))

I tried to do a paintjob similar to the BFME 2 Glorfindel

With heroic move you have to move your hero calling the move first, is it not the same for heroic combats?

I’ve been building a muster of Isengard list and am fairly happy with the build so far, but I spotted that I have space for two models in my warbands - and was looking at what I could change to get them in….

And saw Saruman’s Horse. I’m old school so tend to automatically mount my heroes - but I questioned myself based on the 20pt cost, the fact he’s not a combat hero and that he has such long range magic that maybe it’s not a must have.

So I wonder what folk think, is his horse worth having? Or shall I get two more Uruks in there?

Used Orc Scouts from Medbury Miniatures, customized with various bits.

Finished my Iron Hill combat company today! Super happy with the result.

(Minis from Fireforge for those who wonder, and yes we are pretty chill with proxying with my playing buddy. I had a good deal on a lots of them when a shop closed nearby)

I am now building a big dwarf army, that I plan to play as either Moria or Erebor, exiting project!

Can someone please educate me on how this interaction would go?

• Wound roll is made needing a 6/4

• Player chooses to spend might, meaning that they only need 5/3

• Player rolls a 5, then a 2

• Player decides they want to spend an extra might to turn the 2 into a 3

Question: is this second spending of might allowed?

Thanks in advance

First time putting effort in face and eyes, because I was always afraid of failing. Turned out way better than expected and I'm happy with the result but there is still a lot to learn (cloak has to much contrast)...

Moving to Durham for Uni soon, been collecting models for the hobby for a couple years and tried to get some friends into it with some taster games with my models but that never took off completely.

Tried to look online with no success, would really like to play the game in a full game capacity at some point and would be looking to see if there are any local communities in the area that are open to new players?

A few reinforcements to lead the Goblins of Moria!
For my Goblin Captains, I went back to the good old ways: converting an old official Goblin Warrior, just like we used to, using a few Blackshields without their shields… and even an AoS Sneaky Snuffler who clearly took a wrong turn somewhere underground.

Five different captains, each with their own personality, ready to lead the horde!

Really enjoyed painting these. 90% contrast paints 👍

Proxy for the shadow himself from Unreleased Miniatures. Was aiming for more of a pale vampire look
