Painted minis and 3D Scenery!

By bulldoguk, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

First game last night, absolutely loved it!

I wanted to get these painted up fast so decided a little speed painting was in order, literally did everything yesterday morning, the varnish was still tacky when we played!

Will probably adopt this approach for anything else released for this game, followers of my other posts will know I like to paint a little now and then :P but I consider the minis just place holders for the app and they look just fine from gaming height, music, app and your own imagination manages to take this game to the higher level :)

I also pulled a bunch of different files from thingiverse and had a little tinker with them. rescaled everything to be the same size as their token counterpart. We haven't had a battle map situation yet so wasn't quite sure how many of each I would need so figured what the heck, I'll just cover all avenues!

hopefully get all this painted up for the next adventure next week and I will get some pics :)

Oh, quick question! during combat can you select more than one attack line on a weapon if you get enough successes?

for instance on the battle axe if I pull 3 successes can I combine both lines to do 2 hits, sunder + 6 hits for a total of 8 hits and sunder?

or are you limited to a choice of one attack option?

thanks for any answers in advance :)

You can use each line in the weapon one time, if you just have enough success to pay those lines.

and back to busines... Nice figures, Expect to see the painted models soon :)

You can choose each line up to once.

So if you pull 3 successes, yes, you will have 8 hits and sunder.

Brilliant, thanks for the clarification....certainly going to make things easier next time round!

Oh, one more thing, can you change the number of players mid campaign?

I assumed not so we plan on restarting next week with 5 players (we had 4 last night but usually have a little 5 player gathering) figure this way if anyone is missing from a session we can still control the extra character and keep things running

No you can't.

But if you know that someone is joining then one player can start with two hero's and give it over.

Not without altering manually the save files... So easier to start with enoug characters.

Could I pay you to print me a set and ship it to me?!?

Would you be willing to share the link to the .stl file you found for the stream?

Thrown some paint over those 3d Scenery elements, looking forward to our next game on Wednesday!

Haven't experienced the battle boards yet so layouts are imagined

Because it's all plastic it is pretty robust too, throw it all in a bag and it fits in the box to keep things nice and tidy, the adventure board elements should fit in there too when finished

Also got me thinking it would be great to bring the adventure board to life with a little depth and points of interest so I scoured thingiverse and scaled down some appropriate looking scenery elements, my intention is to replace the exploration tokens with matching (ish) pieces to bring a little bling to the board, all adds to the fun :)

I'll update once I have splashed a little colour over everything, hoping to get them all done for this weeks game!

If there are any more POI you think might work well with a 3d element give me a shout, be nice to have them ready and waiting!

These printings are flawless ! I would love to have them to improve the gaming experience !

Wow. With some colors it looks awesome !

What 3D printer do you have to produce such extra stuff ?

Wow!!! They are so beatyfull!!!

Will you share these 3d files ???

Just a bog standard Balco (Aldi rebranded Wanaho) I love em, built like tanks real work horses, I print well over 99% of my projects including these parts at 0.1, quicker and less finicky than the prusa I own, although the prusa is better at really detailed parts but proof is in the pudding...I own one prusa and 6 Balco's!

Yes mate, soon a I get time I intend to post a remix up on thingiverse soon as I have some spare time this weekend, hardest bit is trying to remember where I got them all from so I can add a thanks on the post page!

Looks great!

Any update on the 3D files?

I've got admit, that map looks pretty good with that painted 3D scenery on it.

Reminds me of some of those board games that have 3D pieces as part of the board.
