Great info. I second the idea of checking at local game stores and talking with folks that having been playing for years. Some folks are willing to give or sell models at a substantial discount.
Thanks, Jmacc! I love that set. I bought one for myself and one for my younger brother, who has never touched it. lol I really hope we get a new supplement with some more Battle Host boxes (maybe Rivendell, Khazad-dum, Easterlings and Corsairs). Any guesses on the new supplement?
@titaninthedeep I hear rumors it's fall of Arnor suppliment. I'd love last alliance but I feel that's been permanently shelved provably for licensing reasons :(
I've heard the same about the fall of arnor. I haven't heard about the last Alliance thing though? I hate to hear that. I hope GW can get something worked out with the Tolkien estate. And honestly, I know it's contentious with a lot of older lotr fans, but I really hope they get the rights to the rings of power. That would draw in a lot of new and younger players. A lot of us older players tend to forget that the films were released over 20 years ago now, so they're ancient to the younger generations! Lol
@titaninthedeep I've also hear rumblings about a new edition but not sure if there's any fact to that. As much as I didn't like the show I'd be very happy with new minis as the ascetic was rly cool. It might have been because of RoP that the LA was fucked
The visuals of ROP were by far the best part of the show. They were spectacular. I hope they get better writers for the rest of it and get a lot closer to the core story already in place, but I'm not hopeful. I'm still going to watch it. Probably with some disdain and enough eye rolls to win Olympic gold. My niece and nephew absolutely love ROP. I believe most of the fans of the show are Gen Zer's.
Just to be clear. I like Far Harad and the lesser known armies. However, "all that crap," is in fact, difficult to find. lol There are some awesome 3d prints available for Far Harad and some of the other more difficult to obtain models, but the likelihood of GW rereleasing them any time soon isn't great. Maybe we'll see a new available model shift on the website when they release the new supplement or they'll do another MTO.
Thanks for the video. I just bought a bunch of paints and hobby supplies to get into Marvel Crisis Protocol, but somehow the algorithm got me thinking about MESBG. You think a new ruleset might be announced later this year? Think I heard a new announcement is coming in July. Ill try to be patient enough, especially since the store I buy from only has the Gandalf battlehost in stock and the starter is out of stock along with the other 3 battlehosts. Would love to get that starter with terrain and rules.
Hey! I know it's been 6 months since you wrote. I was slammed for most of 2024, but have some time to get back into the game again so I'm going to try and get my channel fired back up. I'm sure you've already seen that there is a new edition out right now. I just posted a Battle Report from the New Edition, so I'm going to be updating a ton of my content to match it. Thank you for sticking around. I'll be posting a lot more content over the next few months and hopefully even more in 2025! If you're still looking into the game, let me know! I would be happy to help you get started.
@titaninthedeep thanks. I actually sold off all my hobby paints as of this time lol. My son starting kindergarten has completely changed life at this point. Intrigued about the new addition as I hadn't really heard, so I'll keep an eye on your content. My issue is actually getting to a place to play a game, but I definitely have interest.
We all have piles of shame, my friend. ha! Congrats on getting your kid out of the house for a few hours too! hahaha! We're really lucky where I live. We have a booming MESBG community. I've told the story before, but our group started with just 3 guys buying a few armies and getting together at a local gaming store back around 2018. We have had a tournament every month since the spring of 2020 and average around 20-30 players at most of them now. We have 2 major tournaments that draw dozens of players from all over the US. You could probably do the same. Tolkien sells himself and MESBG is a great game. It's GW's best, by far. If you need any help, please let me know and I'll see if I can help!

Absolutely! I have bought and traded with a lot of local players in the past. Thanks for the comment!
Great video! Thanks for the shout out! Loved seeing the troll painted up, looks fantastic!
My pleasure, brother! You do awesome work!
Class man. The Pelenor set is what got me back into it after a 10 year hiatus
Thanks, Jmacc! I love that set. I bought one for myself and one for my younger brother, who has never touched it. lol

Thanks, Max! I have some great friends from/in Germany!
"Far Harad and all that crap" This guy is really him.
