Well I hope it all went well in the end didn’t envy you at all. Plus you’re mate that did the standing infantry in 2 days is an absolute legend 👊🏻.

I really felt for you on this one mate! I know that feeling of burning out on a batch painting project. I’ve made a new rule for myself to batch paint the base coats of 5 models and then paint the highlights individually on each model.

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Yeah man batch painting is rough. It’s a slog to get through and mind numbing essentially painting the same thing on repeat. Now I have a complete Riders of Eomer force though so worth it 😁

Hi Adam, hope the tournament was worth the pain of the painting project. 1000pts is a slog especially in such a short time period. I understand where you're coming from with the repetitive painting. variety is the spice of life! the force looks fantastic. I love the small differences in the shield and cloak colours to differentiate warbands. hopefully now you have a full painted Rohan force you won't have to paint them again. and look good opportunity for you to do a scenario or specific match play on the channel between Rohan and urakai. thanks for the amazing content as always.

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words Wade 😊 yeah I’m pretty happy to have a full Rohan force now, though eventually I’d like to add, royal guard, Theoden, Eowyn etc… and yeah I’m definitely keen to do some bat reps with them! The tourney was pretty epic, I’m working on editing the vlog now. Hopefully will release it at the end of the week 😁

The weird thing is, I’ve been painting LOTR miniatures on and off for about 20 years but never jumped into the game aspect of it. Now I am tho…just need somewhere to join. I’m actually converting Minas Tirith Warriors into vets. It’s been a labor of love. Not even close to finishing. 1000 points! I wonder if I can muster such an army 🥴

Great vid! Congrats on winning the presentation award at the tournament! Obviously understand if you dont want to do a tutorial vid on painting them, but I would be interested in watching it. Planning a Rohan army once my Isengard is painted. I was wondering what Woodland scenic flocks you'd recommend for MESBG terrain? Im just looking into getting into making my own terrain, and there are an intimidating number of sizes of flocks, colours etc etc. Do you have a couple you consider essential?

@dicedrinksanddadjokes Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks Liam! I'll get there with the tutorial, I think I videoed bits and pieces along the way so hopefully not too much of a drama putting something together. I know what you mean regarding flocks! I quite like decorating my bases with the tile grou/soil mix then sprinkles of fine turf (different colours dependant on theme, I like to use burnt grass for the tundra look) a few highlights of course turf (I usually use dark green) and some tufts. These can be homemade or bought depending on budget. I tend to avoid static grass for bases these days.

@xEzekielx1 Жыл бұрын

@@dicedrinksanddadjokes Thanks! As far as for your forest table tutorial and other terrain, are there particular types of flock and colours that you use all the time? There are so many different sizes and colours on their site haha! I'm think about picking up a couple colours each of fine, coarse turf and clump foliage/bushes

I'm very new to this game, but shouldn't you have dismounted versions of all riders anyway, in case their mounts get killed? Edit: Love the "I don't have any planes, just horses" dad joke. Well done.

Yes you’re right. I had a handful of dismounts and all my heroes. I just didn’t think I’d need all of them! It’s pretty rare for all of your horses to be killed 😁. Yes my daughter has to put up with many dad jokes 🤣

@HerrRoehrich Жыл бұрын

Care to explain why it is your favourite LL? It looks thoroughly mediocre (at best) to me - for that highly situational one use "Look to the Sun" rule, you have to sacrifice ridiculously much: - the army bonus is nerfed from "everybody all the time" to ""just those within 12" of Éomer (who thus has to stay alive)" - no Royal Guard (=no F4/D6 other than your heroes + no Bodyguard) - no Outriders - no armoured horse for Éomer - no Gamling/Théoden/Dernhelm/Déorwine/Elfhelm And to top it all off, you're burdened with an overpriced Gandalf who takes up a significant chunk of your points with little chance of getting a decent ROI. It simply doesn't compute for me...
