It's approaching the highlight of all our weeks guys :)

Who is down Thursday night and what are you bringing? :)

I'll be there. I'll bring everything as ever. Wanting to do some WotR when others are ready to do so. People can borrow one of my armies to learn the rules as well. No rush or pressure though ;)

I'm sticking to SBG for now! But others might be keen :)

Ste and Knighty have both suggested a campaign in the future if you're interested Hashut?

Just thought I'd mention that the Knight will be making an appearance this Thursday after a brief absence (those lands don't protect themselves from dragons y'know... :oops: ) looking forward to catching up with everyone and seeing how the armies have progressed. Anyone planning to bring anything new or exciting this week?

Wahooo! We've missed you since the Hobbits came to town buddy, although good to see you and your business on Friday :) Thanks for the brew!

I'll be same old Grey Company or Rohirrim, allied with Hashut most likely if you're bringing spiders? Ste is likely to try his Mordor again... he was happy with Shagrat!

See you all there dudes!

I think the spiders will be staying in their caves and crevices this week, but it'll definitely be something of the evil variety :)

Aye, going through a bit of a 'Dark Lord Knighty' phase at the moment haha.

Will the figure case be making its first outing by the way? :)

Yay, fresh meat :D

Will be interesting to do another doubles, but with less low-movement involved :P As for new armies/models being used, I might do, I might not. Depends if I have any and if I feel like springing my surprise trap ;P

Case is being used already Knighty! Thanks loads for sorting that out for me mate.

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!

Great game tonight chaps, pleasure as always :)

Southy will be proud of us, 1000pts in 2 hours 15 minutes! I think it helped that there weren't 5 million hobbits to fight with this time and Knighty went with the opposite, 3 trolls and 2 mounted named ring wraiths.

Sexy models buddy!

Thanks again all, very much enjoyed!

Thanks Southy! :D

Knighty brought 3 trolls, shadow lord and dwimmerlaik mounted and was allied to Ste's Uruk army borrowed from his son (can't remember exact numbers but Vrasku and crossbows, Lurtz and berserkers and a captain with shield Uruks supported by pikes.

I had standard 500pt grey company with arathorn and Halbarad and was allied with Hashut's 500 points of shield dwarves, led by Dain, Balin and Gimli.

It was lords of battle and I have to say I started the game quite worried!

But in the end quite a big victory for Pete and I, our main casualties being 4 of the RotN which of course we deployed piecemeal first (very very useful) as well Arathorn (who was black darted dead and the end of the game after an attempt to sap his will plus having to spend double might) A couple of dwarves got it too.

But with the main bulk of Uruks spending most of the game chasing down 2 rangers of the north and the trolls having to come a long way across the board, we were able to decimate all the beserkers before they reached our lines and much of the cross bowmen before balin's counter that finished them off. The death of these two warbands meant the enemy were broken. All the trolls suffered a few wounds once they were close, again because by now they were the only targets, even with the 6 to hit because of shadow lord. We managed to take one down after his unsuccessful hurling of a dwarf into a ranger which didn't kill them.

With the enemy broken, we rolled for the game to continue which it did for 3 turns at which point we agreed a final turn.

Another great night of sbg fun with some top lads!
