Ow, ow, ow! What a lot of replies!
So,
@ Hilbert: Great! Well, I suggest you take a look at a white dwarf battle report, if you have one. The way they do it + what I commented should pretty much cover it.
@ Elessar: Always hoped you would! I've always seen you as an expert in these things.
@ Easterling: The main plan was seasonaly
@ The_Dragon_of_Moria: It was exactly what I had in mind (I created that topic to fall back on with supplements or projects like this)
@ Garm: Hopefully you still got'em
(OT: 10th of ?... Oh, and did you meet Francis ?)
@ Everyone: I was thinking, maybe we could replace (11) with a collection of Erunions retake on Battle Companies ?

Wow, it's great to see all those enthousiastic replies. Thank you all!

Thanks but I don't have one althought at the end of WOTR rulebook I think I can seen one(the one with lava) if it is right I will try as much as I can... :-D

As for the battle companeis of Erunion may we can replace 7 for them instead?

@ Hilbert:
7 is one of the main tactical articles in the mag, so 11 fits better IMO
But about the battle report...
I was almost forgotten there's still something like WoTR (heard something of it... and seen it somewhere on the gw website... always wonderd what it was :rofl:

).
No Hilbert, it's just that I play SBG and shamefuly didn't thought about the battle reports. Or they going to be SBG or WoTR ? I don't know...
What does everyone else think ?

I didn't emant a WOTR battle report... I meaqn that at the end of Wotr rulebook it shows a LOTR SBG battle report from White dwarf...
It's my fault I confused you :-D

@Raggbur: Yes i met him, he was my first opponent (he had wood elves). Nice guy, he did a fine job in organising the tournament. He knows the rules of the game very well, as did most of the guys over there did. I hope i can make it an anual thing. I really enjoyed it.

Ill give a look at the drawings tomorrow evening.

So whenever I find out what...hmm,what is the word...Sides?Races?..What ever...Anyhoo,when ever I know the "races" for the battle report I'll whip up some more drawings (2 to be precise,one for each race...Sooner or later I won't even need to draw up some except when we want something new).

On a different note I don't want to leave LotR's 3rd miniature (heck,they'll be 4 official games when heroscape comes out with their LotR figment) game completely on the wayside so whenever I get some time I shall more than likely write a few articles using the Lord of the Rings Tradeable Miniature Game system (actually the annual National Tournaments are happening at GenCon so I'll try to get some photos or something like that and maybe a few interviews).
For now,

Alright, I finished the RoME part, so I'll now probably try to 'intervieuw' someone for the mag (after I finish the dozens of other articles on my desktop hum, hum... :shock:

)
Now, here I have another bunch of questions:

1) I probably have to stop asking how everyone's doing, but still... There's this freaky nazgul voice in my head that tells me to do so...*silence*
How... is... everyone... doing... with... their... 'articles'... ? ...
Feth*, I asked it again! I'm pushing everyone again! Damn you fool.

2) More pushing: would it be realistic to try and finish the first issue around christmas ? Or more in spring next year ?

3) End bunch of questions.

*Anyone recognising this ?

I haven't started my article yet, but will hopefully do so next week.

Raggbur · **Posted:** Tue Aug 09, 2011 6:44 pm

It turned out RoME wasn't completed at all. So now, I'll finish it, write some things for some supplements and THEN 'intervieuw' someone.

I know I'm not exactly involved in this project in any way but I'd just like to say this would make for a good and interesting read. To hear what it was that inspired you to start this project and motivate you to actually stick with it thus far would be interesting especially as so many people attempt e-zines like this and fail before any real work has been done.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 8:59 pm

Any updates on how this project is going?

I could do a step by step painting guide. However I'm not the best painter. You can view my WIP thread to see a couple of my models OR my Boromir WIP thread OR my entry to the august painting challenge. I can only paint during a 10 day period in November, almost a month long period in December, a 2.5 week period spanning the end of March and beginning of April, and June- August*. My Boromir WIP thread is somewhat of a step by step guide. I would make a magazine article more professinal obviously. I would need to know the model that would be painted at least a month or 2 in advance so I can either find it in my backlog or order it. I would be more apt to paint something of these forces- Isengard, Rohan, Gondor, Misty Mountains but would POSSIBLY be open to anything. I also have the 4 hobbits and Aragorn in my backlog. PM me or reply if you would like this done.

Hmmm,since I still don't know about what races/alliances are fighting in the battle report I'm just gonna start drawing generics things for some of the main races (I have already drawn up some goblin stuff just because I wanted to one day).Hmm,I figure a helmet a banner for the Gondor.A helmet,shield,and spear for Rohan.A couple of heads (Gondor warriors maybe) on stakes for Mordor themed orcs.Shield and banner (or some Berzerker helmets) for Isengard....A keg of ale and a smoking pipe for Hobbits...Etc...I'll be doing Corsairs,Easterlings,and Haradrim after I can study there aesthetics a bit more (I'm going to be drawing what I can on break at work tonight...Yeah,I've been working third for nearly 3 months)....
