Last Wendesday we played a game on 450 points with Łukasz, I played with The Dead of Dunharrow and Łukasz took his Easterlings cavalry.
My two bands – one with the King of Dead and another with Herald. Łukasz had one big band and one composed of two models.Rolls for initiative – my dices are blue.Our objectives were four white dices placed on the table.Many of slaves of Sauron were affraid to charge on the Warriors of Dead.Still some of them charged on left and right flank of ghosts host.Spirits of ghosts collapsed under hoves of horses. King was among them.Duel beetwen King of Dead and Amdur, Lord of Blades were full of just ordinary rolls in such a moment.Ghost warriors bravely survived cavalry charge and started repelling Saurons minions attacks.The final moment, before few more Easterlings left the field. Final score was 3:1 for me.
Summary: – it’s time to start painting Rohan then Gondor and Mordor to have some bad boys and getting some more models to those armies. – Dunharrow – like it, but some times losing with it is spectacular, the same as winning. This army is expensive in points and with eniemies with higher weapon skill there is problem to win combats. Anyway I will try to play with them, as I like this army.
Yesterday I played with Łukasz our campaing beetwen forces of good represented by Dead of Dunharrow and many different servants of Sauron controlled by Łukasz. We played scenario where both players started deploying in oppositive corners of the table
Summary: – it was Dunharrow victory 6:0, – I had luck or Łukasz hadn’t it on the left flank, where his elite was stopped by long time cursed dead.
Yesterday we played with Łukasz small game on 500 points per side – we played scenario, where six tokens are placed on the table – one of them is relic. Relic can be found after model get in contact with it and 6 is rolled – then all other tokens are removed from the table.
I found it behind those stones on left.Most important battle, I thought I would be smashed to a dust.Final countdown.
Summary: – it was great game, I won it 11:1 but I was more lucky than usual during our games with Łukasz. Had to paint some Gondor, for some variety of troops.
Today evening we played Middle-Earth with Łukasz on 600 points per side. Łukasz played Corsairs of Umbar and I took my only painted Dead of Dunharrow. We played scenario where were six places, where artifact of old was probably hidden – to find it roll of 6 was necessary, after touching token with soldier on foot.
Berserkers from Umbar.Both sides arrived.Ghosts move around the field.My plan was to first wipe out berserkers and then charge on the rest.Main Łukasz unit.Dead took many corsairs lives.Łukasz found a relic, probably some lucky item of Numeronian times.This fight is almost over.Small unit of Dead of Dunharrow charged into the mass.After most of the berserkers were out of action, King of Dead and his personal standard turn to the other side.Berserkers started killing each other.The End.
Summary: – it was nice game, Łukasz won it 6 to 2 – 6 for having a relic, while I got 2 for having standard bearer. – need to paint Three Hunters, to have some different unit in this army.
🇵🇱 Dzisiaj razem z Łukaszem rozegraliśmy trzy gry w Middle-earth. Ten system jest ogólnie jednym z najtańszych, jeśli chodzi o rozpoczęcie i granie. Niektóre armie wydają się dość łatwe do pomalowania – Mordor jest prawdopodobnie najłatwiejszy, ale Gondor też nie wygląda na zbyt skomplikowany.
🇬🇧 Today, Łukasz and I played three games of Middle-earth. This system is generally one of the cheapest to get into and play. Some armies seem quite easy to paint – Mordor is probably the easiest, but Gondor doesn’t look too complicated either.
🇵🇱 Podsumowanie: – Fajna, mała gra. – Muszę pomalować Trzech Łowców, żeby dodać kilka wartościowych modeli do tej bandy. – Muszę zwolnić i się uspokoić (dzięki, H., za poranną prywatną wiadomość – naprawdę pomogła). – Jestem naprawdę zmęczony czymś, z czym mierzyłem się przez ostatnie kilka miesięcy. – Nie ma to związku z żadnym z moich znajomych ani współpracowników, ani w pracy (żeby było jasne – wszystkich Was cenię), ani poza nią. – Wynika to z wzięcia na siebie zbyt wielu rzeczy i w końcu mnie to dopadło. Teraz zastanawiam się, jakie umiejętności rozwijać lub odświeżyć. Wiem, że SQL to podstawa, rozważam też powrót do Pythona z Selenium, którego nie używałem od dawna.
🇬🇧 Summary: – Nice, small game. – I need to paint the Three Hunters to add some valuable models to this warband. – I need to slow down and calm down (thank you, H., for the private message this morning – it really helped). – I’m really tired from something I’ve been dealing with over the past few months. It’s not related to any of my friends or colleagues, either at work (just to be clear – I appreciate you all) or elsewhere. – It comes from having taken on too much, and it eventually caught up with me. Now I’m thinking about which skills to improve or relearn. I know SQL is a must-have, and I’m also considering getting back into Python with Selenium, which I haven’t used in a long time.
Today I played first game in Lord of the Rings with Łukasz as my mentor – we played scenario with five tokens on the board which should be secured – I guess they were some ancient tombs as Death of Dunharrow came to defend them against evil servants of Sauron. It was my first game and I know I want to play more. I’m still don’t remember most of things, but with following games it will be better and better.
Thanks for master Tolkien for writing whole universum of Middle-Earth – I read Lord of the Rings trilogy three times – now is time to read it in English. Hobbit in English was good experience (not sure when I have my original of this great book). Silmarillion and Unfinished Stories were also master pieces. Thanks to Peter Jackson for great movies – I will stay with those works and will not touch any new productions, which are politically correct – I’m not.
Summary: – thank you Łukasz for first game, I know we need to play another game 😉 .
Yesterday I managed to finish the rest of my Dunharrow for my Middle Earth warband. First part is here. Now I wait for finding someone to learn rules and play first game. I’m happy that I know several people who can teach me playing this system.
So first army was finished this year, I’m happy with that.
King of Dead. To make him recognized on the field I gave him circle of flowers.Maybe I will add him some red, gold and steel later.Banner of the Dead.Heralds of the King.All forty models of infantry.Let fulfill our oath!Ghostly cavalry going ahead.Whole army from the front.
In movie army of Oathbreakers cleared all servants of Sauron, in book it was different – they never came to Pelleanor fields, still played they role in defeating servants of Sauron.
„The Dead are following,” said Legolas. „I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following.””Yes, the Dead ride behind. They have been summoned,” said Elladan.
The Return of the King, „The Passing of the Grey Company”.
I got starter set with Dunharrow, Rohan and Mordor – I realized, that Dunharrow can be fast, nice project of people who betrayed Isildur and were cursed by him. More about them Lord of the Ring fandom. I finished some cavalry which were scouts during they live in Middle Earth.
I used several things to finish them, most of them from Games Workshop: – as base Wraith Bone, – contrast Hexwraith Flame, – Stirland Mud for bases, – Chaos Black for bases, – flowers from Gamers Grass.
Now they wait for Isildur heir, to aid him and Gondor in time of need and to receive forgivennes for breaking an oath in past. They will be joined by whole host of King of Dead and his warriors.
