"Isengard Invades Lorien (HOTT AAR)" Topic

Wow, it's been a couple weeks since I did any gaming. The wargames bunker's been in a bit of a state of upheaval as I've been moving things about in a bizarre attempt to "organize" things….. I only just cleaned off the game table this afternoon.

Darrin stopped by this evening and we played a little Hordes of the Things. Darrin wanted to try out the Elves and I'm loving the GW/LOTR Orcs I've been painting, and was especially keen to play with my new Warg Riders and Saruman stands, so I cooked up a little Lord of the Rings "What If…?" scenario.

Lacking any of the pretty GW/LOTR Elves we just used my generic Elf army…. so there's some odd stands included in the army that may not be true to Tolkien… but just… y'know… go with it….

Loads of Pics and a brief report can be found on my blog:

Lorien?

Where are all the trees…

The Elves tried to stop them at the border….?

There's trees. There's LOTS of them… we just aren't fighting in them… So I didn't take too many pictures of them.

Darrin, who played the elves, being the defender, set up the terrain. He wasn't so keen on TOO many trees as he had Knights and Blades, which don't fare so well in the woods.

I do need to make a few more wooded terrain tiles… and make a pile of LOTR Elvish Ranger "Lurker" stands to ambush anyone that dare enter their realm.

You ARE a mad man! Great looking game. Loved the figs. I like HOTT. But it wouldn't be my choice for LOTR. Glad you guys had fun.

Thanks for posting the AAR.
