The Tale of 4 Gamers - Hobbit SBG. The Army of Arnor.

The Lord of the Rings SBG
The Ruin of Arnor |
The Army of Arvedui, Last King of Arnor.
Ok - so this is the end of month 1 and I have managed to complete my first 2 warbands of warriors as well as the army leader (Arvedui) and a banner and a captain to lead the two warbands...
.,,This will give me the maximum 6 points for month one!
Below are the images of my army placed in the ruins of Arnor. I will be adding Malbeth and 12 rangers, Dunedain and Aragorn/Arathorn over the next two months!
Can't wait to see how well the army performs against other players and more importantly, whether I can win the importnat battle and earn some extra points.
We are playing the new Hobbit SBG rule from Games Workshop.
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)

Next month I will be painting the rest of my LOTR SBG army towards the challenges for month 2:
Warband 3:
Malbeth the Seerer
12 x Rangers of Arnor
If painted on time this will give me the maximum number of points again for month 2 (8 points) - then I will be on course to finish with maximum points at the end of month 3, when I will look at Arathorn / Aragorn and Rangers of the North or more Warriors of Arnor to complete my army.
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!
