"The Hobbit on the cheap thread!" Topic

Hi, I always have been a fan of the Lord of the Rings skirmish game when I was introduced to it by the Deagostini magazine series which also learned me some tricks about scratchbuilding! It's one of the games I play the most although much with unpainted miniatures. With the release of the hobbit I was looking forward at the starterset but just could not pay that amount of my money. So with that in mind I started on a quest with the final goal of playing all the amzing skirmishes and battles of the hobbit at a low cost compared with the newly released miniatures from Games Workshop!

I have written some posts already on my blog so here's a small introduction.

I will be adding more posts here as my quest continues!

Nice!

Liked it lots. Keep it up.

Like you, I admired the GW Hobbbit sets, but I was put off by the cost. Doing figures for The Hobbit would always be a sideline from my Dark Age warriors. Moreover, I read the book long ago, and have my own ideas of what the charactgers look like, which often does not match that of the movie. So, I like your approach.

Playing 'The Hobbit'(TM) Miniatures Battlegame (TM) using non-GW miniatures (TM) is a blatant violation of GW inc. IP, and damages the sales of GW. Expect a cease and desist notification (TM) soon.

Awesome! So … my question is, are you planning to use the GW rulesets? (;

To be honest I will use the rules as I have them from the magazines never bought the full thick blue book though too much money for my taste and wallet!

Thanks for the comments hopefully more will follow soon!

Cheers
