MESBG: Moria Battle Company

This is a project I did last year, and the rest of my Battle Company projects would sadly have to take a backseat to other things in my life.

I hesitated in posting these minis on here because I'm not really proud of the result. The models are small, mono-pose, and riddled with manufacturing defects. I wasn't looking forward to painting them, and it shows in the rushed end result.
It was one of those "Just get it done and table-ready" kind of projects.

After giving it some thought, I especially want to post these kinds of projects in the future. Mistakes and unsatisfying results are part of the hobby, and I want to present my (relatively) unfiltered hobby experiences on this blog.

Moria Starting Battle Company

I primed them at the same time as the Rohan Battle Company, so they got the same green primer (GW Death Guard Green). The 'heroes' are standing on a rock, so I can easily identify them at a glance.

Armor
Base: Mithral Silver (D&D Army Painter)
Contrast: 1:1 Mix of Black Templar and Contrast Medium
Drybrush: Necron Compound

Skin
Base: Goblin Green (VallejoGC)
Shade: Coelia Greenshade
Layer: Goblin Green mixed with a bit of Ivory (VallejoMC)

Dark Leather & Wood
Base: Dryad Bark
Shade: Agrax Earthshade

Leather Straps
Base: XV-88
Shade: Agrax Earthshade

Hair
Base: Black Templar
Highlight: Dark Reaper

My dream for Battle Companies is a full map campaign with at least six different battle companies. I want to playtest my solo wargaming AI, and a full AI vs AI campaign seems like the perfect opportunity for that. Stay tuned for more!

The Solo Tabletop Oracle

Color Variant 1 Practically every solo session I play, I utilize at least one oracle for inspiration or to fill any story gaps that need answers. Oftentimes, they are the driving narrative factor and influence much more than the game system itself. I have a binder with printed oracles from a variety of different sources that get regular use. All of them have aspects I like, but none of them are exactly  what I want. Having to shuffle through all these oracles can get quite cumbersome, and I wanted a better solution. In the end, I wrote my own oracle that gave me all the information I wanted on a single A4 sheet. I would love to hear your stories and feedback if you use it in your own gaming sessions. Update December 2023 As part of the GEMulator V1.1 update, I've also updated my main oracle sheet. ( more details ) Don't worry, the old version is still available at the download links below.
