Anyone know anywhere that runs regular MESBG in the West Midlands or along the Welsh Border? I'm specifically in Shropshire. Or anyone who wants to meet to play?

My Minas Morgul Spectres all finished I know these are Barrow Wight models but I prefer them to the Dead Marshes Spectres.

I've really fallen out of love with magnets on bases. They 'work' to keep the minis from moving around, but they get stuck to each other while playing. So I've been playing around with getting a system that works as an alternative, and I think I've got it. The minis slot into the tray and they stay put while you transport minis from place to place. I'm working on a range of base sizes for game systems, but I've started with MESBG 25mm and 40mm. It works a treat!

How many attacks does the witch king has when he charges on a fell beast?

Some say 4 because of monstrous charge, some say 5 because of monstrous charge + cavalry charge

Recently I finally decided which army to collect first and I settled for Isengard. And by coincidence my reddit is filled with awesomely painted uruks. The inspiration I got from those shared armies is really appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who shows what they are working on 🥰

Looking for a miniature

is it worth getting some Citdel guard or fountain court? I figured they would damage the numbers too much at 800 point with all the cav but are they worth getting for 1000 points Wish there was a way to run a trebuchet in this list at 1000points

Been to a tournament today and while the games themselves were good and mostly enjoyable, the results were... suboptimal, so to speak.

Somehow I do feel that game as of now hugely prioritizes narrative aspect of the game over the balance and some armies or models feel inherently stronger *because they were so in the movies*.

The Muster lacks any hard hitters and the best F it can somehow reliably dish is 5. While common uruks with shields are hard to remove and zerkers cut enemy infantry and cavalry to ribbons, god forbid its against human models, the very moment opponent fields some kind of buffed heroes or they cut me from my army benefits, I just cant remove their chonkers out of the field no matter how hard I try. Whats the point of preparing a trap, cutting gil galad from his army, surrounding him with my models and knocking him prone or transfixim him, when he just goes "lol nope, I rolled 6 in the fight, fuck you"

Yeah sure, play the mission... which is cool when the mission calls for killing enemy hero and protecting mine, while staring down the battlefield at the ent army, while my model is meager uruk hai captain that is more a liability and point sink than anything else, since a lot of game scenarios basically negate the ability to cast the heroic march in the first turn.

Its this or its just me and there is some secret trick how to get a heavy hits?

What do people think of this, any advice is greatly appreciated
