Garrett and I review the new Legendary Legion for the Army of Dunland. In this very in depth and analytical review not only do we discuss the army list and its new units we also make important references to Beasts of Chaos, Anakin Skywalker and left over pizza.

Army of Dunland is hands down the most balanced Legendary Legion of MESBG. Also very nice looking models. Every single model is viable and has its job and does it perfectly. Really fun/thematic but also competitiv and hits surprisingly hard. Can only recommend!

Awesome video as ever guys, really enjoyed listening while slogging through a batch-paint of some Morannon orcs. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the Legion, I think it's strong and will do well but the thing I'm most excited about is how it will shake up the meta - Rohan is REALLY popular over here at the moment and very powerful and maybe now people will think twice given there's going to be such an amazing anti-Rohan army available. I do think we'll get an official model for the Crebain though, reckon that might be the next thing we see actually. My only gripe is you saying that you couldn't think of any S4 female Heroes - WHAT ABOUT MY TAURIEL?!?!? :-) Keep up the great work guys, looking forward to the next video! - Damian

Thanks Damian, appreciate you watching and commenting as always. Ya, evil is really in need of some love right now and I think this book gave them a first taste of that. I'm ignorant in the ways of Tauriel as I've never played with her before, she still in the box on my shelf. Garrett has used her several times though, so I blame him for that oversight :) - Don

Thanks Sean. We thought we'd try a different sort of video and do a review as we are both collection The Army of Dunland. Thanks for watching and commenting. - Don

I'm back from holidays, got out my paints and looked to see if there was stuff to watch and YAY! There was! I was very happy you talked about the raven style models as I want some for my battle company games and hadn't seen these! Perfect! Which armies do you think are 5-0 armies given that these guys are likely to be 3-2 sort of results?

@ontariostrategybattlegamel3558 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Simmuskhan! Hope you had a great holiday. I think there are probably a few 5-0 armies out there. One would certainly be The Riders of Theoden Legendary Legion. Yes, I'm looking forward to getting some more games in with my Dunland Battle Company now that they have a lot better reinforcements. - Don

@dr.trauts3921 4 жыл бұрын

As the crebain are technically regarded as warrior models in their profile, does this mean a crebain can pick up a banner when another bannerman dies if theyre in base contact? meaning you could have a 6' banner bearer with 10 inch movement and natural 6's to hit? that seems very strong

@ontariostrategybattlegamel3558 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that's correct, and it's actually a 12" move. Seems pretty broken so that may get FAQ'd. Well see. Thanks for the comment Daniel.

This is from the current FAQ: "Q: Can a model, such as a Warg or a Spider, that could not normally physically hold a banner, carry one if a banner bearer is slain next to them? (p.89) A: No, some common sense may be required here when deciding what can hold a banner." It's a no I'm afraid - poor Crebain! - Damian

Can the oathmaker grant the isengard trait to the dunlending legendary legion?

@ontariostrategybattlegamel3558 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Sam. When used in an Isengard army the Oathmaker does benefit from the "You do not know Pain, you do not know Fear' special rule as he has the 'Isengard' keyword. So he won't test for break until 66% of the army has been lost. When used in the Dunland LL that special rule doesn't apply at all as the Dunland LL has it's own Special Rules. - Don

@@ontariostrategybattlegamel3558 Thanks for the reply, what a shame, it would be great if he did give the "you do not know fear" bonus in the LL.

Dunland will be my next army. I love the way they look and i dont mind the bonuses against Rohan as many people here in Finland play them

Thanks for watching and commenting Raine. We'll see how the army plays on the table, but certainly their special rules seem very strong against Rohan. - Don
