Chris Dann's Survivors of Laketown and Mirkwood Army - Tale of many Gamers

"Will you have peace, or war?"

SBG has played a huge part in my life since its inception in 2001. So that's now 16 years of hobbying! In that time, despite leaving the hobby between 2009-2012, I have amassed a decent collection. Restarting when the Hobbit SBG was released I have a nice mix of LOTR and Hobbit minis. I can field almost any army at 500 points but alot of armies I have are unpainted/incomplete. So, this Tale of Gamers is a great opportunity to paint up an army I've had for about a year now. I'm also excited by this project as all the new rules for these particular armies have just been released and there is more to come!

Oh, did I mention I'm doing two armies? Survivors of Lake-Town with Mirkood! Here is my 6 month plan: 

Month 1: 1 Warband 

• Bard the Bowman Girion's Heir (foot & mounted) 
• 12 Lake-Town Militia  

Month 2: 400 Point Army 

• Bard (armour)
• 8 Lake-Town Militia  
• Gandalf the Grey 
• 7 Lake-Town Militia
