Thorin Oakenshield

bigger man.

Well, Thorin is way bigger than Doug Dodgers, to be fair, so, you know.

You may think you have

the advantage

So let me go ahead and read this opening paragraph here.

As is told in the Hobbit, there came one day to Bilbo's door the great wizard Gandalf the Grey and thirteen dwarves with him, none other indeed than Thorin Oakenshield, descendant of kings, and his twelve companions in exile.

With them he set out to his own lasting astonishment on a morning of April, it being then the year 1341 Shire Reckoning, on a quest of great treasure, the dwarf hordes of the kings under the mountain beneath Erebor and Dale, far off in the east.

the quest was successful and the dragon that guarded the horde was destroyed yet though before all was won the battle of five armies was fought and thorin was slain and many deeds of renown were done the matter would scarcely have concerned later history or earned more than a note in the long annals of the third age but for an accident by the way The party was assailed by orcs in a high pass of the Misty Mountains as they went towards Wilderland, and so it happened that Bilbo was lost for a while in the black orc mines deep under the mountains, and there, as he groped in vain in the dark, he put his hand on a ring lying on the floor of a tunnel.

So we see this box, and it's really ordinately carved.

And us hearing stories of Bilbo traveling with the dwarves of Thorin's company and the stories of Smaug.

kind of come to our minds as we see this.

And we can see why he would be interested in it right away, just because of that.

gross.

Company of Thorin Oakenshield survived.

Survived? You mean there's a bunch of dwarves in there with all that gold? I shouldn't worry, Alfred.

We gotta get rid of Alfred.

My third workshop list right now is the last problem I described of a commander that I built a Moxfield version of, and now I'm starting to have a lot of those cards.

It's Thorin from the Hobbit set.

There's a red-white one that makes treasures when dwarves enter.

I remember you sent us this list.

And they can equip different things.

Thorin Oakenshield and his

band.

Yes, Thorin.

me too interesting interesting right I'll we'll talk about that later yeah so and the other thing he said was what has everyone's favourite army been this year that you have played favourite army you've used this year I'm going to say with Horse of the Witch King I've thoroughly enjoyed that this year it's got a lot of tools it's got a lot of different ways you can build the list and the Witch King is just great it's a lot of fun cool model too I think

my, ultimately, as much as White Council is my dearly beloved, and I always have a soft spot for it, I think my favourite this year has been Thorin's Company.

Nice.

Just because it's just that little bit more versatile.

You can get significantly more models into it, and they all do a different thing.

Ultimately, White Council, at the end of the day, they're all kind of doing the same thing, just with a slightly different flavour.

Whereas in Thorin's, they're all doing something completely different, and they're all completely pivotal to the army in different ways.

Which does, on the other hand, mean, like...

Yeah.

I am still not 100% convinced that Thorin is maybe as righteous as we want.

I'm worried about that.

I just can't get over the fact that we've mentioned now a couple times that his dad did not give him the key in the bath.
