This week we take a step back to understand the basic stats and to discuss any characters in the films that have too much, or too little resources!

We haven't done a tournament review for a while and its the first GBHL100 we have been to for a while. Tune in to find out how Loz and Rich got on. We also hope you enjoy Rich's new quiz format.

Linktree for all our links.

Mark joins us this week to go over more new armies that are perfect for beginners!

Join us for Rich talking us through Minas Morgul - should you take the Morgul Blade, Trolls, a second Ringwraith, a drummer etc. As always with the deep dives we have a quiz that's slightly related to the army, can you guess what this one is?

This week we go through Fight Value, starting at Fight 1 and going up to Fight 10 discussing the models in each bracket, what it means to be each Fight Value and offer our opinions on whether we think its correct.

We also have Daniel Scott on who is promoting a charity event he is co-hosting with Rich in Worksop on 6th December 2025. To find out more please see:Minas Merryth.docxThe charity is for :ANDYSMANCLUB - It's Okay To TalkTickets are £25 to [email protected] and include both breakfast and lunch!

We have been there and are now back again for season 3. This week we warm up the season with some stories of whats happened in the off season (legacy, new book, new scenarios) and chat about what our plans are for season 3 (we have lots of plans!)

Apologies for Richs mike - he needs a new one for S3!

Here we bring Season 2 to an end with an episode going through the Hobbit films. Should Thorin be F7 and have free combats, should he have Barrel Riding as an ability? should the Oakenshield be better? where are the dwarf songs? and the Arkenstone?!?! We go through the significant scenes in the trilogy to try and understand what should be in Thorins profile.

This week its just Loz and Rich catching up on the mailbag and discussing upcoming tournaments - can anyone join us???

Over the recent bank holidays Rich has been teaching people some other LOTR board games and this week we have 2 guests to discuss them with.
