Excellent as always! So will Gandalf be without his staff for the rest of the campaign? Or will he make a new one? |

I believe wizards always have duct tape in the robe pockets, so Gandalf will be able to fix the staff for the next game! Hmm, maybe we should rename the spell "Your staff is temporarily out of order" for the duration of our campaign! |

Haha yeah I suppose if G's staff were permanently destroyed by the spell it would make the campaign almost impossible - and G about as useful as a chocolate teapot! Once again, Celevue, excellent work. Your photos, reports and scenery are just superb and so inspiring! Thanks so much! |

I love the fact that you're changing Middle-Earth history. That's why I love campaigns. |

Great report, and I really like that fire! It's certainly very atmospheric, as is the scenery. |

So far beyond fantastic. Can you imagine how many more customers GW would have brought over to LOTR had they advertised the game in a way like this?! |

Thanks for the comments, folks! @Necromancer7, I certainly would have been instantly hooked had there been an ongoing campaign like this in White Dwarf. Since there wasn't, we decided to create one ourselves. We, like probably many others, feel that WD has pretty much abandoned LotR - they e.g. hinted at combining WotR and SBG rules within a single game, but nothing ever came out. We'll certainly attempt that at both Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith. |

Brilliant again! I'm looking forward to Moria... and even more looking forwards to the huge battles at Helm's Deep and Pelennor Fields, though I guess those are some way off. Keep it going |

I love your gaming boar! Have you thought about doing a scenery making article? Have you got any more stuff that we could see? Particularly as the standard is so high. |

Thanks for the comments! @Bilbo, at the moment I haven't thought of converting / expanding my WIP thread posts to articles. I hope to convey the essential steps in the WIP thread without the need for specific articles, but perhaps I will convert the best bits into articles after the campaign is over. The only finished scenery item not extensively shown is Balin's Tomb, I guess. It will be shown in battle report & probably with a few extra pics in the behind-the-scenes / WIP thread in a couple of months or so. |

Great reports I never combined WOTR and LOTR, but I have an idea: when formations are locked in fight using siege towers/ladders, instead of fighting Wotr rules play about 4 turns in Lotr. Profiles change to these from Lotr. Each might is worth 2 points, and will 1 point. When hero uses 3 points he loses 1 point of might from Wotr profile. Free will and might does not "cost" points. When he loses a wound, then when someone rolls on his heroic duel table, he adds +1 for each lost wound. When wounding creatures like trolls or siege towers 1 wound=1 wound counter. Creature that has 0 lives or rolls 6 on Hard to Kill! table is dead (however, that means troll with 3 wound counters would be dead, even if didn't roll 6 on hard to kill, so I'm open to new ideas). After these 4 turns game comes back to WOTR, models are again put on company bases and the winner is decided as usual. But I have never tested it, so you'd better have before playing Helm's Deep or Minas Thirith. |

Nice one! I was AFK for a month and I return to not one, but three reports: what a treat. My favourite shot has to be that of Sam wielding his skillet, freshly taken off the bonfire... Is that the Thomarillion Amon Sul model? I had contemplated it, but opted to build my own using the Fellowship Campaign Book. Having completed the build I must say that the only intimidating part was increasing the photocopy to the correct size (so I turned that into a print-and-use pdf for others to use). That's enough self-promotion: I'll eagerly await your next instalment. |

@koriakin97: Good ideas about the combination - I also had a vague idea of taking a company from WotR and converting that to an equal number of individual models for SBG skirmish, but hadn't given any thought on might and will, actually, so your suggestions will definitely be playtested this summer once I have my Helm's Deep terrain in a stage which allows some playing. I'll let you know how that goes. @andymeechan: welcome back! That is, indeed, the Thomarillion/Ziterdes "Nalog" watchtower ruin, with added statues and a drybrush paint job (plus the added fire, of course). |

This campaign sounds very promissing, although your 1st big test for your campaign will be Moria, least 60% of the campaigns I saw never pass moria 25% pass Moria but with dead fellow members and 15% actually pass it entirely almost like the movie |
