The 2021 Scouring of the Shire scenario checklist

In between the two mass army expansions detailing Gondor and Rohan, sits the Scouring of the Shire.

This expansion book details the famous last chapter of the War of the Ring (and ommited from the movies) as Saruman lays siege to the lands of the Hobbits, aided by a force of rabble.

Add to that that some scenarios include strengthened (or weakened) forces from the previous ones, and you will only need to paint certain models once, making it not a totally insane thing to do...

As with the Battle Companies checklist of the previous years, I will be placing pictures next to every scenario of what is already done, and the key remains the same: P means I have the model but still need to paint it, B means I need to buy it.

Now, the great benefit of this book is the forces are small (no pun intended) as it features mostly small skirmishes between militia and ruffians near famous landmarks in the Shire.

And once completed, I am aiming to play through the scenario's solo game style in the coming year, so we will see where this leads us!

There we have it as such, the checklists for all 19 scenario's in the book with what I need to paint, and what I`ll be buying hopefully over the year.

Check back at the end of march to see how I`m progressing on these scenario forces!
