The GREAT BATTLE of our time
The Old times
After watching the first episodes of the show, I really got engaged again with my beloved middle earth. I began to recall the old times when, after every lord of the rings movie (2001, 2002 and 2003), we eagerly awaited for the corresponding Games Workshop box set… I remembered the excitement when the cavalry appeared in the second box, the two towers, or how the siege rules were offered on the third one, the return of the king box set.
That old box still was at home. Still lots of 20 years old models to build and paint.That battles I had with my cousin, when we were just a couple of young adults (now we are both over 50 years old) had always been great… Yes, great but… somewhat careless…
That OLD Noch paper grass mat. Sweeping was mandatory after playing with it.None of them were played in the kind of table or environment we saw in White Dwarf photographs. I tried to paint well, but the space and the possibilities were not the same as today.
And so, in our hearts STILL we had the need for the battle of our times…
I forgot how much material had been hidden in my closets... for decades...
