Discovering The Hobbit

Just discovered this game. Was down at my local GW playing a fantasy game vs Siceralc and decided to have a run through of "Escape from Goblin Town." I must say, I was very impressed.

It was a refreshing change of dice rolls and phases. 40k and Fantasy can get a bit tiresome after a while when OP units come crashing across the board and absolutely ruin your day. Of course, I don't know enough about LOTR, I'm sure there are OP units hiding away for Siceralc to find and abuse soon enough.

I've had a look around the models and rulebooks and have settled upon Mordor as an army. I like the idea of have Morgul Knights/Wargs in creating a cavalry themed army. Or Terror. I like the idea of forcing enemy models to take courage tests every time they want to charge me.

Is Mordor any good?

........anyone?

- Out.

  1. Ive only played the system a bit and thats when it was the old Lotr one. Personally I think its a case of go with what you like the look of. Its something I'd consider playing (Once Ive my current mountain of stuff painted) and I'd go rohan/dwarfs just for the look.

    Your other option is to see what your local players play and pick something different

  3. The LotR and Hobbit games are both very good. Mordor is a pretty good faction to play as. Plenty of cheap warriors, some good elite warriors, monsters and a decent selection of named and unnamed hero's
