    Hey there, great video. Just a small tip. It would be really useful if you had put the name of the faction on screen every time you talk about a new faction, and maybe some timestamps. For someone who never played the game before and its not a native English speaker, it can get confusing if you just talk about the factions one after another without any obvious indication.

    In the Hobbit book, Azog didn’t actually appear as a character. In the book Azog died long ago before the story began - although he is mentioned in the book. At the Battle of the Five Armies, the orc/goblin army was lead by Bolg, Azog’s grandson. So if you want to run a book-accurate version of Azog’s legions, you should use Bolg instead of Azog.

    And honestly, the most balanced also! You can go light and 'hordy' with rangers and Warriors, or 'elite' with khazad guard and Iron guard. The Vault Wardens are still very hard to kill and the balista is nice to pick off heroes. The variety is really nice to have c: feels good to have so many options

    One thing to keep in mind if you’re playing Goblin Town is that you start taking courage tests based in the number of models you started with. So when the scribe brings in more warriors they don’t increase the number of models needed to break your army, but when killed do count towards the amount your opponent need to kill.

    Good to see that Isengard is still solid. I started playing in 2002. I remember getting the old TT starter set, the one that came with Uruks and Rohan. From that I built a pretty solid 500pt list for the Uruks. I ran a big pike block (15-20 total, can't remember exactly) with flankers (3 warriors, 3 beserkers on each flank). That block would then be buffed by a Captain w/banner with support from 8 crossbows. There might have been a few more misc models but that list was really fun to play.

The skin was dark red mixed with white to make a weird shade of pink. The whole model was washed in a black wash and then all of the highlights were the base colours mixed with a bit of white

But I haven't played them in a tournament yet. They did come 3rd which is what actually inspired me to make an army of them. The first place list was red alliance that is no longer viable so I didn't count it as goblin town

    Interesting that you only put Hobbits in the good tier. Back in the LOTR days, the only thing preventing Hobbits from dominating the game was how expensive they were. I fought a Hobbit army at 650 points with Gandalf the Grey and something like 71 hobbits for the final in a Indy GT in Florida, and my Minas Tirith army was just annihilated. I’m wondering if the warbands structure, requiring more heroes, has changed that equation.

    Just found this awesome channel! However, as possibly the only pure Army of Laketown player in the world, the army is absolutely in the GOOD tier, even edging into TOP. Nowhere else in the game can you get 5 point models that are F4 +rerolling. At the end of the day this game is about dice, and Laketown can throw endless bodies at the enemy to bog them down while Bard (a killer hero) does the dirty work. You use Alfrids rule to give might to the Master to get constant F4, becasue Laketowns green allies are the fantastic Thorin's company; giving you 3 combat beasts, a wizard, the AMAZING Bilbo, and more importantly- Bombur, who restores Alfrids will! I have a great win streak going with this army among friends, and when tournaments start again I can't wait to bring them!

I feel like the pike block is mainly to capture objectives and then die slowly. I would argue the easterlings are definitely a good army, especially with the addition of the two-attack dragon cult acolytes!

    If you want an evil faction I would start with the Pellanor fields starter kit and make a mordor army. The Witch king is an absolutely brutal hero but can be one of the most complicated units in the game. I would recomend adding in the Morranon command set as well as Shagrat and gorbag. That along side the morranon orcs and the trolls is a very competitive army.

    Great video. I personally got decent results using easterlings but I can't help but feel that they are not worth the hassle. They are close to being great, but still no cigar. The archers are mediocre, the upgrade too expensive, they lack killing power and even amdur needs a shaman to back him up to deal with D7 heroes and khamul's is a mediocre caster. It's like there's a bit "but" right after every good thing one can say about Easterlings

Angmar & Mordor are both cool factions, but neither captures the spirit of my favorite oldschool lotrsbg faction.
