That's my kind of madness in all but one respect: there is nowhere in this house where minis on the floor would not be trampled by The Wargs or blundering relatives. Warg junior would probably indulge in a few little Nibbles and steal a few 'toys' - the Mumak would be Target Number One.
It looks like great fun, though your knees may never be the same again :D

On a boring note, make sure you look after your knees! I recently got bursitis from kneeling to much at work.

Luckily there were plenty of sofa's and cushions around so the knees survived...kinda.

We tried to barricade the lounge against the hellpup but she jumped straight over it and landed in the middle of some FC Men-at-Arms and dwarf rangers :shock: thankfully, nothing was broken. She was promptly banished to the kitchen.

Unfortunately, the stress of battle proved too much for all 3 of us and early monday we decided to call it and focus on chilling and smaller games. We also created a beta version of LotR SBG: Survival Mode which proved much more fun. I can post the rules in another thread if people want to have a look.

Anyway, back to the mega battle. We got to the end of turn 2. Theoden got eaten by the Witchking, Aragorn survived an onslaught of magic and a charging cave drake, the monkey twins charged sauron and beat him in combat but failed to wound him. Murin led 4 dwarves and 5 sentinels into brave combat V one mumakil as Thorin and Dwalin led 10 dwarves into the second mumak. Murin's Mumak suffered 2 wounds and Thorins Mumak suffered 5 wounds. Never got to see the effects of the stampedes :( ohwell. I also shot 30 shots at one beastmaster and only just killed him *phew*.

Boromir beat a dragon (no wounds) and an ent played warg bowling, in the process knocking down Suladan and the mouth of sauron.

For those who havent seen the pictures. Link to facebook album.

I'm hoping to get the other pictures from Muppet and knighty later this week and I'll get them posted up.

This reminds me of some battles I had recently
Helms Deep 5000pts evil, 2800pts good
High points-Giml 5 kills, Legolas 2 kills
Low points-Gandalf casts channeled blinding light, ballista hits on a 6 and screw him and shadowfax over bad

Osgiliath/Black Orc Down
Evil-300 models
Good-150 odd models
High Points-Evils objective, drag beregond off one side-Duinhir climbs a tower, spots for 3 trebuchets and screw over 20 orcs but beregond is perfectly fine :D :rofl: :lol: :-D
