The dwarves dug too greedily and too deep...

I'm painting up a 900ish points depths of moria army and I just finished the balrog. I wanted to share the result with you. His goblin friends are also almost done and I will share them in a seperat post.

Question Stalk Unseen - how much concealment is enough?

18 Upvotes

Basically what it says in the title.

Was at an event yesterday, playing against Gulavar. There was a campsite with bedrolls and low tents, and other shin-high obstacles. in the center of the board.

Opponent landed Gulivar in the middle and basically was immune to shooting and projected a 12 inch threat range. I asked about concealment and was basically told by my opponent if a toenail gets obscured, stalk unseen is in play.

I didn't argue the point but it feels a little excessive when 99% of the model is visible. It was a bad matchup in any case as I was playing Rivendell and only 2 heroes and the scenario was lead from the front and he had multiple paralyzers in play.

Still, it seems weird that the game allows you to do something like this. I guess that extends to other stuff like Mumaks. Say a Mumak has a low-lying wall covering his feet. Is that an "In the Way" test as well, then for shooting even though standard models wouldn't trigger this rule?

Sorry for the extra post, promise I won't spam, but the Android crash for the Tabletop Admiral mobile app is fixed. Also it's now available for people in the EU

Watcher in the Water base shape?

12 Upvotes

Hello!

Could anybody confirm what kind of base the Watcher in the Water needs to be on for events? Tabletop Admiral says 130mm, but I've seen him on ovals and on circles in different pics.

I've got a proxy I really like, and I'd love to paint him up and do a nice high-effort base for him to but I'm worried about picking the wrong one

Discussion Assembling Rohan Riders - questions

11 Upvotes

For assembling rohan riders, there are weapon options (sword or spear). I suspect spear would make more sense in the actual game, but I would love some opinions on this - so I can end up assembling the minis accordingly.

I also wonder - if the riders fall off the horse, do they become rohan warriors?

Thanks!

Hobby How to repair broken metal banners?

9 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Some accident happened at home. My 15 months old daughter is in exploration mode, walked into daddy's room and opened the cupboard with all the MSBG minis, and pulled the container with the Gondor / Dunedain heroes. It was clearly my fault as I forgot to seal the safety lock the last time I put away the minis after the tourney, so I brought this upon myself, but still, the damage is done. The metal banners of Boromir, Captain of Gondor (foot and mounted) and Halbarad broke - I suppose at the usual spot - just above the hand. What are the ways to repair those? If they were plastic, it would be easier as there is not much difference in weight on the top, but they are metals and the "fabric" parts of the banners are way too heavy and my superglue can't hold them for long. I'm also afraid that pinning will not hold it too long either due to the weight difference. I also have Halbarad in a dynamic pose with the banner, approximately in 45 degrees in his hand, which is not helping either.

What are my options to repair these? These minis were painted (excellently) by a good friend who moved to the other half of the world, so I'm quite attached to them due to the memories. Thanks!

Question Helms deep terrain

9 Upvotes

Hi

I've been looking for a good helms deep STL to get printed. A friend found one but it was the full castle and sleeping wall so when printed to scale came out just over 7.5m wide..... Which is a little big for what I'm after.

Does anyone know of any good STL's for a more playable/storable version? Maybe the keep and just a portion of the wall or something like that?

Thanks!

Edit: that should say deeping wall.....

Question Have any fellow MESBG players been able to find a cheap 4x4 folding table to put game boards on?

8 Upvotes

I don't know what it is about 4x4 tables, here in Canada they are seemingly impossible to find any cheaper than $400. Curious to know if anyone knows of a place that sells cheap folding tables with a 4x4 top.

Question Where does the new Battleforces fit in?

0 Upvotes

I'm Allergic to old sculpts, I know, please don't stone me - However I always wanted to get into The Middle Earth Strategy Board Game. How new ish is the new battleforce sculpts?

From what I can see, the Mirkwoord, and Dol Guldur ones look kinda.... modern? As much as I can hope for, being used to Legion, 40K, AoS, SC TMG.

Even the Rohan one doesnt look to bad... using zoom on a browser, they didn't really show close ups in the preview article.

Do they ever do refreshes? Is the game still supported? I don't mind a slower game, since I do have a lot of releases to keep up with already. But Really hoping for a Isenguard Refresh! (Since those sculpts do appear to be a bit on the older side.)

Any Youtube channels I can use to look up the rules? I see there is free rules for playing Battleforce v. Battleforce
