Oh yes, Episode 119 of Battle Streams in Middle-earth will be beaming into your interweb boxes at 8pm tonight! Come and join Damian and Guest Host Larry Miller as they take a look through the shiny new Armies of Middle-earth supplement and catch up on everything that's happened in the hobby in the last three weeks.

Most important of all, let’s get that backlog cleared! The main point of Battle Streams in Middle-earth is for us all to come together for a few hours and get some painting done. Our ethos is that you should be working on something relevant to the featured theme and we've reached the end of another binder so this time that means Armies of Middle-earth! So, whilst you're obviously welcome to come and join us while painting anything, if you're working on any model with a profile in the new Armies of Middle-earth supplement, then you'll be in with a chance of winning one of our unique Battle Streams in Middle-earth dice. As a special treat, we're also celebrating the awesome Armies of Middle-earth release weekend so, if you''re working on anything that was released on that day (Beechbone, Bolg, Corsair Ballista etc.) we'll also enter you into the draw.

Remember, part of the fun of this is getting some paint on old, long-forgotten models that are years down your painting queue. So, go and grab those dusty Beregonds, Prowlers and DRAGONS and get them primed and come and dent that backlog! You've got 6 hours!

Let us know what you're thinking of working on in the comments.

We had such a blast last night on our latest stream talking all things War of the Rohirrim, from our feelings on the new film to a deep dive into the lore and the new profiles. Thanks to Thomas Macklen for being an exceptional Co-host again, it was great to see that the vast majority of viewers were feeling really positive about this latest cinematic journey to Middle-earth and so cool as always to see a magnificent FORTY-ONE BSIMErs painting War of the Rohirrim models around the world! And if that wasn’t exciting enough, our next stream is only 6 days away on Friday 31st - hope to see loads of you there!

Any model that appears in any of the following army lists:

Army of Edoras
Defenders of the Hornburg
The Eagles
Usurpers of Edoras
Besiegers of the Hornburg
Harad

And the following cheeky bonus models: Watcher in the Water, Saruman, Eowyn

Remember, part of the fun of this is getting some paint on old, long-forgotten models that are years down your painting queue but tonight you also have the opportunity to paint some lovely new stuff! So, go and grab those lovely new plastic Rohan Warriors from the starter set, or go and get those dusty old plastic Rohan Warriors from the back of the cupboard, get them cleaned up and primed and come and dent that backlog - you've got 10 hours!
