Another awesome Battle Report guys! Keep ‘em coming. New Special Rule: The Tabletop Admiral - “If the controlling player created TTA, all models in the army may benefit from the Lord of the West special rule.” (Created by the Dice Gods)
Great battle report, the scenario was certainly a scary one for Gondor against AoL with how much it forces them to spread out. And you kinda have to see the Bat/Spider combo in action to appreciate how much it hurts and how you have to position to prevent it. One small rules note: at about 37 mins, the Warg Rider is slain and the Warg runs away to let Ingold Heroic Combat away. But thanks to Durburz' Courage boost for Wargs, it should arguably have stayed and denied the Heroic Combat. The 'arguably' is because RAW Wargs don't get the Warg keyword even after their rider is slain, but I've only seen it ruled as working in practice
This is basically exactly what you want with AoL: the dice consistently in your favor haha. Having played with that legion a fair bit, it's very powerful when the dice are going your way, but in general, if you have 1-2 bad turns (which you didn't here), it snowballs down hill very quickly as the army is incredibly fragile in close combat with the low defense and low fight value. If your opponent has faced it before and knows how to play against it and all the ways to counter it's tricks, yeah, it's a struggle to actually win anything once they get in close.
We are in talks now to finalize details of our consumption of Ashrak Insurance LTD. We will however be removing everyone working in the Claims Approval department and focus all of our resources on denying claims. Expect changes to your policy.
Yeah, dismounting is an interesting idea. I even said to Steve before our game, "so I guess I just need to make sure I don't leave a spider/bat-sized base worth of space around Boromir". Then in the heat of the moment...I forget.
@@jamit500 @scuurn Howdy! Sorry for the slow reply! Okay the boxy modular buildings are called the "Ruins of Ulvhelm" and were free on Thingiverse. The ruined tower, the larger ruin right next to it, and two of the other less boxy-looking ruins are all from The Print Goes Ever On. The set they are from is called "Osthold". Hope that helps!
@@NowForWrathGaming Thank you! It looks great. I run a similar gondor force so love to keep seeing takes like this on how to take on pretty hard to beat armies.
Warg Riders have orcs, so maybe you weren't counting those? Looks like 20 orcs and 20 goblins to me, which would be legal, unless I'm missing something.
Really enjoying your battle reports, keep up the good work.
Love the terrain, where did you get the ruins and mat from?

Andrew’s dice would STILL be terrible. -S

Ah yep! Totally forgot about that!

This definitely tracks!
please do a cam view of the armys at start
This is a good idea- let me see if I can remember to do that!
Beautiful 😎
Cool batrep, nicely done! Nice spiders models, who is the manufacturer?
They are 3d printed from files I found on thingiverse!
@@NowForWrathGaming any chance for a link or author of the stl file?
@@bnk111 Found it! www.pinterest.com/pin/3d-printing-diy--1125125919389544382/
It's by Lord of the Print and is free
@@NowForWrathGaming thank you!
Is Ashrak Insurance LTD. a subsidiary of Now for Wrath?

@@NowForWrathGaming out sourcing Claims department to Dol Guldur? I hear labour costs for orcs and gobbos are cheap?
Poor Andrew... Dismount heroes against AoL can be helpful, definitely keeps them safer. But with those dice rolls... woof

Forgot the horn of Gondor on boromir?
Just got to the point where Andrew remembered :)
Sure would have been nice!
Anyone know the name of those terrain pieces?
I will look when I am back home! Traveling for work now. Ping me again and I will share where I got them.
@@NowForWrathGamingI would love to know too! I think some are Ulvheim building but not sure of the others.

I dont get who threw all those throwing spears because AFAIK only warg riders in that list can have throwing spears.
I think we kept saying throwing spears but meant throwing daggers from the prowlers :)
@@NowForWrathGaming as long as you remember that they have 6 inch range instead of the 8 inch of a throwing spear.
@@Maultaschtyrann yep! Pretty sure we did :) thanks for the oversight though!
AOL list isn’t legal, too many gobbos.

I stand corrected! Apologies!
@@thefinalseries all good! Keep us honest! I triple checked but we always nervous I got it wrong.
