Fallout 4 was the UK's best-selling game last month, as the popularity of the TV adaptation from Amazon Prime keeps on fuelling sales. Combined with deep discounts across the entire series, Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz said the Bethesda RPG earned top spot «comfortably», with the second-placed EA Sports FC 24 presumably not even close to matching its sales.
Top 10 Heroes for the Lord of the Rings Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
07.05.2024 - 01:31 / boardgamequest.com
If you haven’t heard of the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESGB) from Games Workshop you are missing out on the most thematic well-written rule system in their entire line up! Those of you who know me, know that I am mainly an Age of Sigmar player who dabbles in 40k, but MESBG is truly a hidden gem amongst the Games Workshop lineup. While being incredibly balanced the game truly captures the thematic nature of the movies and the extended Tolkien universe.
This is my completely subjective list of heroes, both good and evil, that I love seeing on the battlefield and that are fun to play, not necessarily the top tier meta-heroes that need to be played to win. This only includes heroes from the Lord of the Rings side of the game and not The Hobbit. Come along the winding road with me!
I promise Boromir won’t die on you immediately (usually). He is an amazing support piece for Gondor and can boost all your warriors around him. Not only is he chunky with 6 might, 3 will, and 3 fate and some heavy armor, he has two great utility abilities that make him worth his 200 points with his banner. The first is the famous Horn of Gondor. This allows Boromir to automatically win fights when outnumbered if the enemies fail a courage test. The biggest thing that Boromir does on the battlefield is utilize his Banner of Minas Tirith. This allows Gondor Warriors to increase their fight value by one and re-roll a dice on their duel roll. This is massive and the economy of scale is huge when placing Boromir correctly behind your front lines.
Who doesn’t want to plop down the Balrog surrounded by an army of goblins. The Balrog’s stat line is massive. 4 attacks with 10 wounds and huge strength and defense scores make him a beast on the battlefield. Some of his rules include his whip weapon which lets you pull enemies to you and allows all goblins near him to pass the courage test automatically. However, I love that he can set models on fire near him, and call heroic combats each turn allowing him to fight and move and fight again. Truly a great model that is a wrecking ball on the battlefield.
Elrond, while a lot of points, has one of the most influential abilities that you can use on the battlefield. Some of his more minor rules include a sword that is dangerous to spirits and his ring of power which allows him to re-roll his dice when trying to prevent wounds when spending fate. He, of course, has the powerful Lord of the West rule as well, making him more dangerous in combat by letting him re-roll a dice during duel and wound rolls. But the highlight of his profile is the Foresight of the Eldar. This ability allows for him to adjust priority rolls at the start of each turn letting the controlling player control the
