The Forsaken Inn: May 2015
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. In Which I Chronicle My Descent into Miniature Madness. It was never my intent to become interested in the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. Or to accumulate the small snowdrift’s worth of plastic and metal figures awaiting painting on my worktable. I never had much interest in miniature wargaming, but I somehow fell victim to its allure—a fate a handful of hobbits would fully sympathize with. I recall the early days of Games Workshop, back when White Dwarf. Abbreviated “...

The Forsaken Inn: Battle Games in Middle-Earth Issue #2 Overview
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015/07/battle-games-in-middle-earth-issue-2.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Battle Games in Middle-Earth. Continuing my mad scheme to work through the entire ninety-one issue run of Battle Games in Middle-Earth. Today we take a peek inside the second issue and see what was in store for the would-be SBG player in 2002. The answer is “The Last Alliance.”. For not shoving the Games Workshop website down the reader’s throat as the sole place to buy their modelling tools and materials. It’s far from a complicated bit of terrain or building, but it serves...

Monday, July 13, 2015. BGiME #2: Creating a Simple Ruin. Is the “Modelling Workshop” chapter of the magazine. Defend this crumbling corner of Arnor! The base of thin card warped when painted.

The Forsaken Inn: BGiME #2: “The Last Alliance” Battle Report
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015/07/bgime-2-last-alliance-battle-report.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. BGiME #2: “The Last Alliance” Battle Report. The forces face off. Who shall be the victor? 8220;For Nύmenor and Elbereth Gilthoniel! The goblins advance tentatively, knowing they’re almost certainly in range of the elven bows. High Elf warriors rush to meet their green-skinned foes. The slower goblins creep forward as elven arrows rain down upon them. One goblin has already fallen as the two sides approach the middle of the battlefield. Measure twice, slay once! BGiME #2: “Th...

The Forsaken Inn: August 2015
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2015. BGiME #3: Creating a Hedgerow. The “Modelling Workshop” project in Battle Games in Middle-Earth. You can see where the flock failed to stick in this overhead view. The light green base coat proves problematic when the flock doesn't stick. Next up, we pit Frodo against the Ringwraiths and things turn bad very quickly. Saturday, August 22, 2015. BGiME #3: Painting Frodo(s). Original Fellowship of the Ring set from Games Workshop (2001). Happenstance and good friends intervened on m...

The Forsaken Inn: June 2015
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. How Telling “Tales” Led to The One Ring. My gaming group gathered together to play some board games last fall, reconvening after our Deadlands Reloaded game had come to a premature conclusion due to summer. We hadn’t convened to play anything for months, so we settled down to give some board and card games—both new and old—a whirl. I brought along my copy of Hobbit Tales from the Green Dragon Inn. While we were playing Hobbit Tales. On October 27, 2014, we sat down to embark on a ...

The Forsaken Inn: BGiME #2: Painting the Warriors of the Last Alliance
http://theforsakeninn.blogspot.com/2015/07/bgime-2-painting-warriors-of-last.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. BGiME #2: Painting the Warriors of the Last Alliance. As I mentioned before, I’m explicitly following the painting tutorial provided in each issue of Battle Games of Middle-Earth. This means the result are a bit cruder than my usual paint jobs, but forces are table-ready in a much quicker fashion. I’ll revisit this figures once issue #44 comes around, but in the meanwhile they’ll do on the battlefield. The Men of Gondor advance! High Elves with Elven Blades. Keep it up :). BGiME ...
