WOTR Batrep: Snaring the Beige Wizard

Xelee · **Posted:** Tue Feb 14, 2012 2:46 am

I have long struggled against the Beige Wizard and now another of the locals is building up his army. We played 1200pts, Shield walls, and for VPs... if it came to that. The venue for the game was the Cavs (which longtime readers will recognise from the carpet!). Ray took The Beige Wizard himself, Lurtz, Thrydan, a Troll, some Berserkers, a unit of Wargs (not in pic - deployed to the left), some sappers, a unit of Uruks with Shields, more Uruks with Crossbows, Uruks with Pikes and then a whole lot of Ruffians (where have I seen those figs before?). I had Gondor from an earlier generation, led by Thorongil (Aragorn), Saruman the White, Deorwine from Rohan, two units of Knights, two units of Warriors with shields (one of six and one of four), a unit of Rangers, a small unit of bow and a unit of the Axe-men of Lossarnach. How did the brave warriors of Gondor fare vs the rising evil of Orthanc?

Quote:

I write to you, Lord Ecthelion, to convey an account of Gondor's engagement with some Great-Orcs near the Misty Mountains. No doubt displeased with the incursions of these rabble, disturbing the peace of his researches, Saruman consented to aid the mysterious Thorongil in bringing the filth to heel....

Thanks guys - I've been getting back to the Gondor list a bit recently but the 'Red Fortress Ministry of Information' style doesn't fit them so well. So I'm glad people like the faithful scribe.

Xlee, I'm starting to forget the old, boring way you used tyo write reports. This 'nw' style is very good, it makes i seem more 'believable' thus when things happen in the game that make no logical sense, you come up with a good way o explain it. Very good of cours, you should try some of the new models. Strange that your opponants 'Rudffians' look exactly the sae s your Men of Carn Dum and Dunledning Soldiery. Nice report Mr Xelee, you are thriving.

Thanks GmtW.

I don't think I am ever going to be picking up any more of their new models - GW and many NZrs parted company about mid last year.
