Dol Guldur Project 2

Painting

I used this weekend to finally start painting my DG Nazgul. I started with one slayer of men:
First with base and shading


Second with with the layer details





I also started the Witch-King with base and shade






I am quite pleased with the results - especially with the green robes =)

I am still experimenting my lighting setup for taking miniature shots. Suggestions how to improve are welcome ;)

Ordering the last piece

I thought of ordering the Castellans of Dol Guldur from GW directly since i thought the price tag of 20 € is ok and it now contains three instead of two miniatures. However this meant i was exactly 5 € to low for having free delivery. 
Delivery costs for Austria are 9 € - meaning a third of the costs would have been just shipping, which really did feel wrong.  I know its possible to let the delivery go the a GW shop but since the only ones are in Vienna (meaning a travel to the city just for picking up the miniatures) this was only not a viable option if avoidance would be possible.

I thought that Castellans are somehow GW webshop exclusive since their original order from another shop got canceled with this explanation. However by coincidence I stumbled over this shop and could order my Castellans for a cheaper price and with lesser delivery costs =D So hopefully I will get hold of them before the year ends.

Nice Dice

In my last project post I forgot to add live photos of the really cool DG dice set.

Der Kastellan auf der Vienna Comic-Con 2023

Image
Intro Das erste Mal seit Sieben Jahren, besuchte ich wieder die Vienna Comic-Con. Und diesmal nicht als einfacher Zuschauer, sondern mit Aussteller Pass! Der liebe Sebastian von den Wulpertingern lud mich ein am Stand seines Vereins, gemeinsam MESBG zu präsentieren - Spiele untereinander zu machen und Interessenten Einführungen zu geben. Das ganze garniert mit einem Gratis Ticket als Aussteller. Ich musste nicht lange überlegen um das Angebot anzunehmen =D Messe-Bericht Die Anreise verlief problemlos und als Aussteller erhielt ich sogar ein ermäßigtes 18 Stunden Ticket für die Parkgarage (welche sich ansonsten mit fast 50 Euro zu Buche geschlagen hätte). Sebastian holte mich vom Eingang ab und erhielt den Aussteller-Badge - muss zugeben dass man sich mit so einem Teil, doch etwas wichtig vorkommt - noch dazu wenn man durch die Kontrollen einfach durchgeht^^ Ich half beim Aufbau der Tische - währenddessen öffnete direkt neben uns das Espresso-Mofa - perfekt für einen Energieschub ;) Oh

Numenor Army Review

Image
Numenor, the most powerful human civilization to ever exist in the world of Middle-earth. Humans that lived longer, were stronger, wiser and taller than all the other humans.  Great seafarers, warriors and builders. So mighty in fact, that at their peak of power, they easily defeated Sauron at his strongest, even with the One ring. And even after their island sunk beneath the waves, when their numbers were greatly dwindled and their strength nowhere near were it had been, they were still able to form the Last Alliance with the High Elves and together, throw down Sauron again, by sheer power of their armies and leaders. Their appearance is one of my favourite parts of the first LOTR movie and I can still remember how captivated I was by this first impression. In fact it was this feeling, that motivated me to start MESBG and begin with building up a Numenor army for this game.  Sadly, when its about variation and strength, the MESBG version of Numenor does not really represent the impres

Rise of the Necromancer LL Review

Image
The "Fall of the Necromancer" expansion from autumn 2021, saw four new LL releases. Two of them were hero-only LLs. One was the infamous "Vanquishers of the  Necromancer" - mixing up the tournament scene and stirring up quite a turmoil and discussions about how far a LL should go and if this is not the complete opposite of what the game stands for. While the other LLs (Rangers of Mirkwood and Pits of Dol Guldur) were frequently covered and discussed in podcasts, blogs, YT videos etc, the fourth one was notably absent from all this  or received only a fraction of the time- The Rise of the Necromancer LL. This one was actually the only LL and the only thing of the expansion I was interested in. I had my eyes already set on a Dol Guldur hero-only army for quite some time. And now I received the perfect LL for my needs.  I want to share with you my experience with this force and what I think about it in detail. Let me take you on a journey to the dark paths of Dol Guldu
