Hobby Assembly instructions

6 Upvotes

Where can I find assembly instructions for the Gondor avenger bolt thrower? I was gifted the unit but it didn’t come with instructions. I’m sure I could free ball it but I’m a building noob and would like to make sure I’m doing it right.

Question How do you pick scenarios with picks and bans system?

4 Upvotes

Never done this and when i'm with my friends, just rolling has ended up with some ridiculously one sided matches.

Does one player roll for 3 pools, each ban one and then roll a d3 for the scenario? Or first roll all 3 scenarios and then ban?

Starting the game

10 Upvotes

This question may be asked often, in every other wargame, but i wanna know how many books i have to buy and how to start my army. Im not entirely sure which army i want to play, but i want to know how the rules are and how lists are build, who can join who through what alliances, so i know what minis to buy. Do i need the core book plus lotr and hobbit book to know that? Can lotr armies olay against the hobbit? And can i really only play 10 models if i play for example nazgul of dol guldur (i have no clue, just heard it)? Theres a heap of rhings to know, and i want to get an overview (also in terms of price).

Small Village on the Edge of Rohan

Recently, I have been really focused on making my wargaming boards more realistic by adding in more details like crates and barrels, farms, and foliage, so that rather than just looking like some scattered buildings, the table actually looks like a real village.

That’s what got me to put together the bundle, "The Borderlands of Saxonia." You can get all the STL files to make your own village in one click at a big discount. It’s only available for 24 more hours, so I wanted to make sure no one who is keen on it misses out.

Took me several years before I even attempted to paint it, because I wanted to do it right. The original base had broken off when I assembled it a few years ago, hence the ruins.

Uruk-hai force with Lurtz painted up. I really enjoyed painting these guys in a simple and effective scheme to get them ready for the tabletop. I also put some autumn leaves on the basing to give them Amon Hen vibes 😁

Feel free to message me for any commission requests 😊
