I like that you point out small tricks like the gap method to delay cavalry
I have been addicted to watching these videos. Great videos to listen to whilst on the exercise bike.
Three years later I'm getting you some new views on all of your vids. I just got back into SBEG and I'm back with Minas Tirith so all of these are a great treat! Well done on the batrep!
The camera zoomed in on the action is excellent!
I really appreciate the on screen commentary on the moves and choices made. It helps me to continue to keep learning the nuances of this game.
Great battlerep, love the commentary!
Really enjoying your batreps! Binge watching them all
I really like the pace of the reports, the narrative is always engaging.
Great game. Wow Elrond was on fire that game. Didn't even need to bring a horse! Super sad seeing the better elven lord, Glorfindel, get totally stomped though!

Things looked bleak there for a bit with Erestor and Glorfindel hah. I thought he was doomed
Really enjoyed this video, lovely seeing elrond be a blender! Gutted about Glorfindal though! Thanks for the effort you put in!

It's crazy that Glorfindel is better in combat than Elrond but because I didn't position him well he did no where near as much as elrond
Looks great! Can't wait for more, good work my dude!

Brand new to MESB and loving the content, I am looking at a Minas Terith army, love running heroes! Keep up the good work!
Happy to see another batrep!
Awesome video! Just ordered more of your bases and high humans!
Just getting into the game and loving your channels content!
These videos always make my day
Enjoy these bat reps and always look forward to them. Thanks
Awesome battle report, really enjoyed this.

During the Aragorn v Erestor fight, Aragorn used a point of might to make 3 wounds. But that was after fate had been rolled. Don’t you need to elect to use might to change dice before fate has been rolled?
@TheHammondEggs

Not if the model is reduced to 0 wounds like it was. If a model is reduced to zero wounds it is immediately removed from play. So the order of operations is that he needs to pass his fate or be forced to remove the model however the combat is not resolved so the attacker may still alter dice until the combat is resolved completely. Had errestor not taken 2 wounds you would be correct however.

I don't agree with Halfway Done. Technically speaking all Strikes are made one after the other, we simply never play it that way because of time. This means that each Strike will Wound, before moving on to the next Strike. It comes up so little, but when it does, it is game determining. Especially for scenario's where a specific model has to kill the target. In theory one has to spend Fate before knowing how many Wounds will be dealt in total. So if you play with the gentleman's agreement, which almost everybody does, to simply roll them all at once, I feel (and everybody I've ever played with) you cannot "go back" to change your mind about Might.
Love that mounted faramir model
Sweet video
Elrond is an absolute beast. Such a close outcome in the end, but a rather enjoyable bat rep!
Good video 👍
Aragon is a beast. Really enjoying this hobby
Quality 👍
I'm brand new to this game, in fact I haven't even finished painting the Pelennor fields starter box yet. And I was askin the group I'm in if u can do good vs good in the game. Glad to see that I can lol
Awesome
For the algorithm great video
Awesome as always but the music is super unnerving!
Fun video.
I love these battle reports! But it would be nice if you could briefly explain the game modes you’re playing in the intro for the noobs (yes, me)
Did Aragorn back away an inch after the round when Elrond won, killed a guard and warrior? Elrond was trapped, won the fight and Aragorn should’ve backed away... because the next priority, Elrond ran 6” directly away and should’ve been 7” away from Aragorn, instead of exactly 6” after Aragorn sling shotted off the heroic combat.

This is true, good catch. It's good to film these games and have these pointed out. Even though I play this game and compete in tournaments all the time it's easy to miss small things like this that can make a massive difference
Great game mate, spectacular batreps keep them coming. That’s what you say down under right? Mate? Weird because that implies you’re breeding with your friends.
good battle report! the music however was a little stressful at times.

Do you think bringing so many big heroes (Elrond, Glorfindel, Radagast) instead of more warriors is the right way to go with Rivendell? The elves have a hard time getting kills in general and don't really seem to win that many fights overall due to sheer weight of dice against them.
I loved this one, sound quality and camera work were exceptional. Do you think radagast is worth it over Cirdan and ~5 more elves? You'd also get to keep your army bonus and he still has aura of dismay!

Great video, only nitpick is that that last combat between Elrond and Aragorn could not have happened lol
Really cool battle report. Not a fan of any of the bases (blue rim does not blend well and the red tiles do not fit with the gold), but I love the paints and definitely found the inspiration I was looking for for my elves. I'm also stealing the idea of recycling my Dol Amroth shields for the guards of the fountain courts ^^ Do you play them with another profiles in a fiefdom list as well ?
Leaving a comment, as instructed. Comment.
still learning the rules and making my gondor army but im sooo excited, its a pretty big army to around 1500 points :) ... but also doesnt elrond get to use foresight to re-roll priority rolls ? and if youre within 1" of a models control zone dont you have to charge that model? so @27:35 wouldnt aragorn not be able to charge radagast ?
"Wait, who's Good and who's Evil?" That's the commentary I love. I do kind of miss the old tournament/competitive style where everyone brings two armies, one Good and one Evil, and each round is assigned which one to play. Makes stuff like Army of the dead somewhat more useful since they aren't going to run into Elves who laugh at their points cost and keeps Riders of the Dead from just mauling the various C2 Evil armies with Instill Fear
So much blue
You cant might up a wound roll after the opponent has used fate
These ruins look so good! Do you have a source for the STLs??
yes
XD You need some elf spearmen. Elves really struggle without being able to stack a couple of dice.
At 22:30 Elrond used Wrath of Bruinen, ALL enemy models should have been knocked Prone. It doesn’t only give Str 3 hits, but also knockdown. You forgot 😊

Don't worry we remembered. A lot of the troops were able to stand up straight away but in the combat phase Elrond struck against the two that were knocked prone so doubled his strikes :)
I like the buildings. Did you make them or did you buy them? If you bought them, please share the link/company name. Thanks.

Hi, I have a question. I wanted to come back to LOTR SBG and wanted to start with an Isengard Army (cuz I also had a small one mamy years ago and gave it away) In the Games Workshop online shop few sets that i could be potentialy interested in are "temporairly out of stock". Are they actually only temporairly out of stock or they just don't make them anymore and it's just bad labeling? I would really appreciate some help, thank you!
@ConquestCreations

The temporarily out of stock come back but sometimes it takes a few months. The best way to get started is with second hand models. You will be able to find almost everything for Isengard easily. I would recommend jumping in one of the middle Earth buy sell swap pages on Facebook

I'm wondering, why aren't you using more spears? I'm quite new to the game, but I love playing elves, and so far I noticed that having de facto 3 attacks with F5 (front warrior, support and banner reroll) usually guarantees that I win most of the fights.
22:30 I feel like I see this type of move all the time and I’m looking for clarity. How can Elrond wrap around the Warriors without first entering a control zone? Seems like there isn’t enough space between Knight and back left Warrior. Mainly just curious about how strict the 1” Control Zone is.
@ConquestCreations

Once you enter a control zone you are able to move while within it which is what would have happened in that case.

Thanks for the comment. It actually came out in an errata that its range was reduced because it was too powerful with a 6" range
Great video! Music is a little loud though.
👍
Im new so question how can ragagast be with elfs?
Nice batrep! If I can offer one point of feedback: at around 16:30, the music gets a bit too disruptively loud for my tastes.
Did Elrond not do his Forsight points?..
In this timeline, Elrond went back on his promise that Aragorn could marry Arwen after becoming king.
Enjoying this battle report a lot! Only one minor thing that almost wanted to stop watching this is the music. Its a bit too loud, dramatic and all over the place. Other than that, great video!
Cirion has strike? Could have stopped Elronds heroic combat if and thats a big he gets to f7 and rolls a 6... with effectively 3 mightable dice and a support. Otherwise great effort by elrond rolling plenty of sixes and aragorn boshing some key rolls.
1:33 Legolas vibes
Could Aragorn go into Radagast? Wouldn't he have to charge the elf whose Control Zone he is already in?

Doesn’t Elessar just straight up wound everything on 4s?
Great report, I also think you went too aggressive with your elves. Perhaps a more conservative strategy would have been better. PS: The music is often too loud1
Cirion is pronounced with a hard k sound, as with all other names that start with c such as celeborn

I bet Elrond refused to give Arwen to Aragorn after becoming the King of Gondor and it resulted in this fight :v
Great focus on the models. Way too many BRs are too zoomed out; yours are far more immersive!
