Love those Smaug bonuses. They definitely don’t feel oppressive but they do feel like they’ll significantly mix things up for him from game to game(which I think was desperately needed). Very excited though for those February battle reports and to hear Louie and Aaron’s takes on the changes👍
Thank you for this series. I may have to disagree with the throw stone special rule being the worst for the three trolls. They hit on 4+. And now that it is a throwing weapon, the trolls no longer have to stay stationary to throw it. A strength 8 stone hitting on a 4+ (5+ if they moved and didn't charge) is rather scary. Add the cavedwelling night rule, and that's +1 to wound. 12" of 3 str 8 stones hitting on a 4+/5+! Hide your heroes and your heroes' wives!
That's very true, although still not top of my list..! I actually had a game with them last night and took Campfire range, 3/3/3, strike defence and can't be trapped. Wish I'd taken 4 Attacks on the charge instead of Strike defence! Could maybe have swapped Surrounded for the Throw Stones!
I think the no-surrounded might be one of the smarter picks. Survivability is important with low models. I also tend to roll rather low, so the 4 attacks on the charge doesn't tempt me as much when I lose priority and fights all the time. Good to hear your thoughts with actual experience though.

Really enjoyed these, good to go through them and get another persons view on them 🙂 is there any plans to go through the Angmar and Arnor PDF?
I'm sure I will at some point but might be couple of weeks 😁
Are you doing a review of the Arnor Angmar PDF for completness🙄
Had a few ask so probably will in a couple of weeks 😁
