Discussion Middle Earth SBG Questions Thread

190 Upvotes

Keep 'em coming

Edit: Stealth Mod announcement (I don't want to unpin the two pinned posts)

First, I have updated the rules to include something obvious to most longtime wargamers on reddit - posts asking or offering access to the rules is not allowed. Please do not ask for PDF's.

Second, no hate on 3D printing, but also do not come to this subreddit asking for STL proxies, or offering that. This may be too cautious of us, but I notice the reddit spam filter seems to remove any mention of STL's outright. So I figure I might as well make it a rule.

Finally, I have eased up the Spam filter from High to Low. Hopefully the redbubble spammers are still caught by this, without catching stray blogspot content creators. I've noticed the reddit algorithm taking down much more bycatch than usual, so we can experiment with a lower setting for now.

And as always, if you ever notice something astray with your own posts or someone elses, do not hesitate to message the mods.

Thanks everyone, -Tezerel

I didn’t put as much effort into these dudes as they probably deserved, but I had to crunch them out quick.

I am currently on painting Helm. I am unsure waht base I want to give him? A summer‘ish flowery base or a snowy Winter base. Since he is a Berry dark earthy model I think I will Go with a more wintery base to give some white accents but what are your guys reccomendation?
