Hobbit SBG - 200 point Hero arena

“Are you frightened? Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you."

        Aragorn, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings

With a full afternoon of gaming and only a short time left to have a fight (we (Sam, Tom and I) had just had 3 battles at 350 points) we decided to do a hero only 200 point 1 v 1 v 1 battle:

1. Sam with Beorn

2. Thomas with Aragorn

3. Me with Legolas (cloak and armour) and Thranduil

We each took a board edge and set up to play 'Last man.. elf or bear' standing!

Hope you enjoy!

Straight out of the blocks, Beorn changes to his bear form and Sam moves him forward

Legolas and Thranduil next move half forward
(move and shoot, move and shoot son)

Tom placed Aragorn in the ruins and looked to take a pot shot at Beorn,
who already had him in his sights

Legolas and Thranduil both target the 'were-bear',
but fail to hit

Aragorn and Beorn lock into combat, two mighty warriors...

Whilst my, 'not so brave' elves look on through the door way...

...and shoot at the bear, still nothing 

Brave, brave, brave sir Robin... erm Aragorn loses the fight and burns fate to stay alive,
the ladder and the ruins are his escape

Legolas and Thranduil back away, the bear is coming for them next!

Aragorn moves into the corner, while Beorn corners him,
trapped Aragorn is slain

The father and son elven pair, still believe move and shoot will prevail,
but not with Beorn it won't! not a single wound from bow fire!

Thranduil calls channeled Nature Wraith, but Beorn,
uses fate and saves the knock down and potential wounds,
Both Legolas and Beorn call Heroic strike.... Leggy wins and we roll to fight...

The Elves burn all their might, but manage to kill the were-bear,
no wounds on the 'not-so-brave' father and son duo

The Champions of the Hero Arena!
Legolas and Thranduil
