The Tale of 4 Gamers - Hobbit SBG. My army will be the army of the last king of Arnor....
 |
| The Lord of the Rings SBG The Ruin of Arnor |
Army of Arnor.
The idea of this tale is to build from scratch a brand new 700 point army over the course of 3 months, competing against other hobbyists on the one-ring forum as we build, paint and battle our way to the finish line...
We are playing the new Hobbit SBG rule from Games Workshop.
Month 1
Build and paint 2 warbands, including an army leader:
Points are awarded as follows:
- 1 point for each hero painted on time
- 1 point for each warband of 6+
- 1 extra point for each full warband of 12
(maximum 6 points)
Month 2
Expand your force to 500 points, complete with army list (name any un-named heroes) then battle your 500 point army against another gamer at the end of the month,
Points are awarded as follows:
- 5 points for complete a 500 point army (with army list),
- 3 points for a victory, 2 for a draw or 1 for a loss
(maximum 8 points)
Month 3
Paint a centre piece (monster/hero over 100 pointts).
Expand your army to 700 points with army list
Play a multi-player game at the end of the month (doubles),
Points are awarded as follows:
- 2 points for centre piece
- 3 points for complete 700pt force and list
- 5 points for victory, 3 for draw and 1 for loss
(maximum 10 points)
Tale of 4 Gamers - My Army of Arnor
 |
| My Hobbit SBG army of Arnor, 2 warbands of warriors of Arnor, command, Arvedui - Last King of Arnor and Malbeth the Seer |
 |
| Additions/centre pieces to Arnor - Aragorn and his father Arathorn (Rangers of the North and Arnor are lurking in the background) |
 |
| Captain and banner of Arnor |
 |
| Arvedui - Last King of Arnor and Malbeth the Seer |
I will be painting the first of my challenges this month:
Warband 1:
Arvedui (Army leader)
12 x Warriors of Arnor
Warband 2:
Captain of Arnor
1 x Banner Arnor
11 x Warriors of Arnor.
If painted on time this will give me the maximum number of points for month 1 (6 points) - then I can add Malbeth and a warband of Arnor rangers for month 2! and look at Arathorn / Aragorn and Rangers of the North or more Warriors of Arnor for month 3....
Keep an eye out as I update my progress with painting this army and how it performs in battle in Month 2.
Thanks I hope you will enjoyed it as much as me!

We welcome anyone interested in playing The Hobbit, Lotr SBG, WotR or any warhammer/40K battle - why not let us know so that we can arrange some starter battles, like the one above, or if you/your club want to challenge us. We have all the LOTR SBG figures and LOTR scenery from the Mines of Moria to the siege of Helms Deep ready and waiting.
