Thanks mate! I love this game you gotta get into playing!

Just wait until you see his Easterling army, its his best work by far in my opinion! watch out for the army showcase of the whole Moria collection some time next week!

@@ConquestCreations I'm excited for it! Mate I can't wait. 😂

@@ConquestCreations awesome! Looking forward to that 🤙

@@ConquestCreations does he have a discord server

Thank you very much!

Thanks mate! There are more on the way like this one

Thanks mate, I am glad you enjoyed it

Thanks mate, there are plenty more of these videos on the way

Hahahaha I know I was so worried about going up against it and then it was so easy to deal with this game

Thanks mate! I'm working hard on these videos, I'm glad they they are getting better

Thanks mate I appreciate the feed back, this is the format that I am going to go for with all my battle reports now!

Boys!!! So glad to see you comment. I love the middle earth content

Bummer you are totally correct!

Thanks for the comment! I will be sticking to this format there are heaps more videos on the way. The next one is Isengard vs Easterlings. Grimhammers are one of my picks for the best troops in the game! With Grimhammers you can choose whether or not you use two hands or fight normally with one hand. I usually go one handed so that I dont have that -1. Also I try to always have them in range of a banner so that they can re roll if they loose which effectively gives them two dice to roll. The key difference is that I can kill a goblin on a 4 or 5 and they will only kill me on a 6. In a one on one fight I will kill them more than twice as much as they kill me and the odds are still heavily in my favor in a two on one fight. Plus Grimhammers get throwing weapons so they sometimes get kills when they charge. The good thing about goblins is that thier roll is to die slowly. Its almost as easy for a cave troll to kill my 12 point grimhammers as it is for it to kill 6 point orcs so its a great match up for the cave trolls. I think Jordy would have been better off tying up my heroes with his goblins while his trolls ripped through the grimhammers for a few turns

@@ConquestCreations If a guy has a 2 handed weapon I always use it two handed. Even though it is very frustrating I just can't have a grim hammer not swinging his hammer. 99% of my games are solo so it is all part of the fun for me.

Thanks mate!

You totally can get your armour to turn out like this! I primed them in a bright silver, picked out the gold areas, washed them twice with Nuln Oil and then highlighted everything with bright silver. Its not to hard

Thanks for the reply and tips! I'm glad to see a good channel with lots of SBG content

Many many thanks

Great question! I have played a lot of tabletop wargames and Middle Earth is by far the most tactical one out there which is why its my favourite This video was a bit of a brawl in the middle and there are some game where that happens like this one. There is still a lot of subtle things going on in a big brawl like this one. Mainly my Heroes want to be fighting against the right targets at the right time. They are the ones that do the damage in my list so its important that if they are fighting a single goblin they spend there resources (might) to be able to maximise there damage. If they are fighting against a troll its really important that they have heroic strike (costs a point of might) to out fight the troll. The catch here is that the heroes have a finite amount of might so have to choose there moments to do this otherwise they run out very quickly. Moria in this case has the bat swarm which is able to lower my fight value (means that if we both roll a 6 I loose and the troll can hit my hero) so both of us are trying to manuver in the right ways to block what our enemy is doing. Another really important thing is this game is 'trapping' a model is trapped if it is surrounded and it means that if they loose the fight then there enemy makes double attacks. This increases the chance of killing very significantly so its really important to hold a line and formation. You may have seen that one turn I lost a key model and the next turn the goblins rushed in and surrounded many of my dwarves. This was really bad for me. There are also a lot of Middle Earth battles where the manuvering is a lot more important. In other scenarios you get to place objectives to they are a lot more spread out. Some army lists win by manuvering away from their opponents while whittling them down with bow fire. Some times you can kill almost all your enemies but if you didn't keep the objective in mind you loose. Other times you have to secretly note down enemy heroes to kill which scores you points so you have to play mind games to get to them. The more that I play Middle Earth the better I get at it and the more I enjoy it because even after playing competitively for 5 years there are still tactics that people use that I haven't seen before. I encourage you to get into it!

@@ConquestCreations Thank you for the thorough answer! I will keep watching reports and faction videos, and maybe start up a small force in a near future. Cheers!

The dice certainly were on the side of the dwarves today

I've added it into the description of the video (although I might have gotten some of the wargear and warbands mixed around)

It was a bummer, the more even the dice roll the better the game

These ones aren't actually to bad. Only the Heroes are fine cast and the rest are a similar cost o any of the other plastics.

@@ConquestCreations well I mean the heroes, especially the erebor reclaimed ones 😞

Thanks for he comment. Its a tricky on to pull off because its only one hit Thrain only has to pass one fate to survive and cancel the whole attack so its better for the drake to just attack him normally and potentially do more wounds

@@ConquestCreations that's what I figured, I was excited to see it swallow Thrain whole but I understand why he attacked normally!

The miniatures are from Games Workshop and they are painted by myself and Jordy. I offer a painting service

Thanks for the comment, You can call heroics while you are knocked down but not while you are paralysed

These models are conversions that Jordy did. You can find the rules for Warg Marauders in the Armies of Lord of the Rings in the Moria sections. They are effectively a normal cavalry model but they have 3 models riding them. This means that they get 3 attacks and the cavalry charge bonus which is lethal! They are pretty expensive at 30 points but I think they are really powerful

The bases that the dwarves are on are! You can find them here: www.conquestcreations.net/shop

They are the Green marble inside of erebor. They are green with gold lines

@@ConquestCreations Was this made for a specific map? My friend, they look dreadful on a normal grass map. Very ugly imo. Why does Erebor have green and gold lines? Is this some sort of art that is found in that part of middle earth?

That's really interesting everyone else has really liked the bases you are the first person who hasn't understood what they are. If you watch the Hobbit Erebor is green marble with threads of gold running through it

@@ConquestCreations Thanks for reply. I didn't quite take to the Hobit the same way I did with The LTR films. Though ill watch them again soon. Na, not a fan. Looks like squiggles the biscuit. I googled Erebor and I don't see any bright squiggling lines under anyone's feet or anywhere for that matter. Is this supposed to be some sort of magic light?
