Finally, able to get a game in using the Dwarfs, men and orcs! This was an opening battle during the northern campaign when the forces of Mordor attempted to sweep out the Men of Dale and the Dwarfs from Lonely Mountain aside to open a second front against Gondor.

The deployment of the armies



The battle would rage fiercest around the farm house all day as the Dwarfs and their King attempted to hold the forces of Mordor at bay.



The Men of Dale backed by Radagast attempted to hold the right flank against fell creatures from Mordor.



The dwarf center was heavily engaged, desperate to defeat their orcish adversaries before Mordor reinforcements arrived.

Despite the valiant efforts, the right flank was destroyed and the remaining Warriors from Dale fell back before they were overwhelmed.



The battle around the farm house turned against the dwarfs as the giant arrived and began to crush dwarf warriors. 


I forgot to take a lot of pictures as the game got going!  We used a rule set that I wrote and there needs to be a few changes.  My orc army is much larger than the dwarfs and men and have quite a few more units as well. Add to that, my son’s dice were on fire led to a massive defeat.

Young people 's dice rolling is a force multiplier.

You’re so right!  Needing 4’s he would consistently roll 6 out 8 on the dice.

Addition to the dwarf army:  some Hearth Guard from Conqueror Models.  I swapped out their normal shields with some round shields to kit in with the rest of the army. Absolutely love these models and I definitely plan on adding to them! Also included, two dwarf heroes but they were cropped out when uploading the pictures.

Definition of a dwarf ... "Grimm, fearless, proud ... with waists and knees!"

Killshot,

Are all the dwarves Conqueror? Or just this specific unit?

Suitably grim and resolute looking Dwarves.  I love what you have done with them.  I agree, the change in shields for the hearth guard is spot on.  My only complaint is that the beards are too short. Other than that, they are perfect.

Grimm:  my entire dwarf army is currently made of the Conqueror Model dwarfs.  They are an absolute blast to paint.  I still have plans to continue to expand the army further.

Ethelred and Brandlin:  Thank you!  Definitely agree with your assessment of the miniatures.
