Drown us in pics!

**Rampage**

I'll try to get some pics in tomorrow. Most of it is unpainted/painted poorly though.

**Magnuszered**

It's still awesome to be drowned in pics whatever the quality

**deathstreak2000**

I've been trying to get pics off my phone onto my computer all night but I can't do it

but i'll try my hardest to get some up!

**Brother-Captain Scotti**

I am so looking forward to this! I would post mine but it would look like a puddle to your seas lol

**Shadowbrand**

Exactly 80 models. One of them a converted Nazgul to be the Betrayer.

**deathstreak2000**

Managed to get the pictures up of all my models (in their boxes though) and I have started my blog

I have every army, modor is well over 7000 points, dwarves about 4000, misty mountains 4000 similar for fallen realms (3 mumaks) and isengard, Gondor and rohan 5000 each then elves 2000 and big angmar list too... And thats WotR, so it would be more for LotR SBG - Check out my blog for some photos....

You put my collection to shame, sir.

I have been collecting for nearly 2 years, and started painting a year ago, although I haven't done any since Christmas.... I think I'm addicted, I love lotr and have done for years, just wish I had started playing when they first came out so could have had lots of opponents to play! Still the hobbit is coming and that should boost people playing!

**Magnuszered**

Hopefully it will

**deathstreak2000**

Yeah hopefully it will! They're both such good games as well so it's such a shame there isn't more players!

Good god!! Are you mad!

On the other hand, Bravo

**Dayvuni**

Wish I could afford more models

**Magnuszered**

Gives you the time to paint what you already have before getting something else

Problem is, I already have 100% painted, and yea, that was my goal to have 100% painted before I get something new. I tried posting in painting service list for a) something to paint b) money to buy models. But I'm too new and my post got taken down. My only income is $30 a month (I'm 14 and that's allowance) And you know how much stuff is! But w/ my expensive as wall street devastators I have a 2k point list after just starting an august.

I hate playing un painted armies so I make a point to only play w/ painted models. Especially when I have 2k of grey space wolves charging me, there is no fear, no joy, no fulfillment killing a gray statue.

**Magnuszered**

Same for me, just that my parents don't give me the money

**Tzeentchling9**

In WotR points I have(late night estimating, probably underestimating):

-5 or 6 Thousand points of Moria(tons of goblins, lots of trolls, lots of Spiders, Balrog, Epics, Wargs, etc.)
-2 or 3 Thousand points of Mordor(The Nine, lots of orcs, Epics, Legendaries, etc.)
-4 or 5 Thousand points of Angmar(This is not that impressive though. Ghosts are expensive in points)

**Brother-Captain Scotti**

Holy cow, people have crazy armies!!

Are points more in WotR than in SBG?

**Rampage**

Mine are in SBG, sorry I haven't had the pics up yet, was busy yesterday with a crazy apocalypse game in 40k.

**leonardis**

I think the points are slightly more in SBG

**deathstreak2000**

Yeah the points are higher by quite a bit.

Just from memory (I may be slightly wrong) but a company of dwarfs (8 guys) is around 30-35 points in WoTR whereas the same models in SBG would be 72 points.

A company of orcs is around 20 points (again I think) but the same models would be 48 points.

Even if those exact figures are wrong (and they probably are) you can see that everything is cheaper in WoTR

**Magnuszered**

I haven't played WOTR before, which is better WOTR or LOTR?

**leonardis**

I have played loads of WotR and love it - there are loads of battle reports on my blog, just stared SBG... Love that too, but it is on a much smaller scale, so we are planning to go through the book doing loads of scenarios and playing either LotR or WotR depending on which fits best, my heart at the moment is still WOTR but others will disagree.

If you have big armies WOTR, if not LotR, they are both good games :-)

**deathstreak2000**

I haven't played WoTR but I have read the rulebook for it when I was considering playing it.

You can't compare them really since WoTR is a similar sort of game to warhammer fantasy and SBG is a skirmish game.

In my opinion SBG is better

but both that's not to say WoTR is a bad game! The rule for it looked awesome

**leonardis**

Why compare? You could say SBG is like 40k... So why compare when you can play both!!? I mean the figures are the same.... The rules aren't that different and actually, being able to both skirmish and hold huge battles is exactly what I want from Lotr...

I love it!
