Brilliant. I'm relatively new to MESBG (sub 6 months) and Easterlings is my army. The best take away is having the Black dragons on the rear guys only. I had all models apart from Archers upgraded, and even just using basic captains I seem to grind the enemy right down. I haven't faced a real monster of an enemy like Boromir or one of the top tier, Ents or something, but seem to be doing ok. Great vid, thanks for posting!

Don't worry about the camera and video work. You'll get better over time :) We all start out that way! I also wouldn't be afraid to leave the pictures up for about 15 seconds or so while you're talking. It's fun to see the minis!

Could you do army list ideas for the common points numbers in these videos? I'm new to the game and struggle to make effective armies
@NoobsandMen2 жыл бұрын
That actually a really good idea. In Australia The common points values are 300, 500, 600, 650, 750, 800 and 1000 I personally always write a 750 list to start off with when building an army. Thought if you're new to the game the best points lvl to start with is 500pts.

Great analysis! I’m looking for some competitive list for 450pt. It is worth to take Amdur on horse in these points? Or better is take only captains and make numbers? What about a new Acolytes? Maybe it is worth to take them with Axes and make more dice to roll in fights? It would be great to hear your opinion. I’m looking forward for a new video!

There are a few ways you could go. I would 100% take amdur at these points, he is a great force multiplier with his banner effect and at a low points list like 450 he's going to be a very scary hero to face. Though at this low points level, it can be a good idea to consider him on foot in a pikewall, as if you take him on horse, you kinda need to take a few kataphracts and that will hurt your numbers quite a bit. As for other heroes, a couple of captains, or maybe a dragon knight on foot really make the pikewall scary. And a drummer, always take a drummer. Acolytes are a great addition to the force, and swapping axes is something that I've considered, but not got around to, and in my opinion, they don't really need. When you can trap a model with acolytes, the dice do the work for you.

I didn’t expect the answer! Thank you! What about alliance with Khand on these points? It is worth to take Khandish King or Chieftan with chariot? It is worth to take that alliance? If yes, how the Easterlings site could looks like?
@rileyallen3102 жыл бұрын
@@PrzemysawProszowskipp in that case I’m not sure, I’ve never run the alliance before (I don’t own the models) but I know the king can be quite deadly. Amdur and a king at this low points would be quite expensive, so I might leave that until higher levels. Because if you drop amdur for a couple captains, you’re losing one of your most effective pieces.

@@PrzemysawProszowskipp I too would suggest Amdur at this points level. I have a 500 point list that I adore with Amdur on horse, Captain on foot with shield, and War Priest on horse. At 450, You may have to drop the captain or priest. The rest of the list is pikes and shields, 5 bows (I do find having the archery gives me way more flexibility), the war drum and just 2 kataphracts. It has performed really well.
