Steve’s dice finally getting their Andrew rolls 😂 The Throwing Spears are a perfect counter to the Hunter Orcs. The Pits LL gives you the free priority to protect against that a bit, don’t think I saw it used though.
Incase u guys were unaware, azog is a hero of legend and has a 12" stand fast that effects orc heroes. Pits of dol guldur also has an auto win priority where the opponent cannot call moves to counter
They're definitely from my early days of painting! I was just telling Andrew how I wish I had the time to redo all of my Rohan- my newer paint jobs are way better!
I'd like to give it a shot. We might not get to squeeze it in before the new edition happens, at which time we'll definitely be in "TRY ALL THE STUFF THAT CHANGED" mode, but as a Grey Company lover, rangers are always on my mind and will surely return, hopefully with Arathorn!
Let us know if there's something you'd like to see more of in the batreps! We try to hit the variety where we can. We'll keep the priorkity thing in mind, but we're not even thinking about it now :) We'll keep it in mind!
@@NowForWrathGaming Generally really like your reports. This game seemed a bit odd though, it was almost as if the video started half way through the scenario as the forces were literally on top of each other, probably down to the scenario, can't say I've ever come across it. Personally I prefer scenarios where there is some movement and cat & mouse type stuff, but again, YMMV.
Yeah that's fair. Just the situation with the scenario and matchup, I guess. Helm wants to avoid Azog and it's not that hard with Azog's big base. And yeah, we both pretty much deployed to the center since we both wanted to be on/near objectives, so a pretty simple game of clash and roll dice. We're going to bring magic back soon, we just wanted a break from it. Next report won't have magic but the one after will, so should be a bit spicier.
Great video and content guys! High quality microphones, dice tray inclusion, nice models and terrain :) I would say that I agree with the notion that its just a smash and roll dice - largely MESBG has nothing to do with dice if played well - see this batrep for example where poor dice rolling did not necessarily mean losing with pits of DG th-cam.com/video/kTkwsKSx5D4/w-d-xo.html. Also, the entire point of pits is the auto-priority (otherwise its just a d5 leader at 215 points with a load of orcs) which I know has already been mentioned, Im just thinking with your level of outstanding production quality, likeable personalities and beautiful minis you could have some of the best batreps out there!
Thank you for the kind words- you're right! I had that pits army in my possession for all of 1 hour before playing it so just totally forgot about the rule! I'm eager to get them back on the table and not make the same mistake!
We want to see defenders of helms deep vs isengard.
That would be fun! We don't have any painted Lothlorien but we could use Rivendell as stand ins... hmm

We did get the standfast right but YEP TOTALLY forgot about the auto-win priority.
Guess we'll just put a big ol' asterisk on this one, eh Andrew? -S
NO, I WIN AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME
😂😂😂
Always looking forward to your newest content - Please keep it up 👏
I recognise those Royal Guards from the blog before you ever had a TH-cam!

@@NowForWrathGaming well if you get the new Rohan scuplts you will be able to do just that! I'm hoping they release a new plastic Royal Guard sprue!
lovely looking armies
Always loved the channel guys, you should play arathorns last stand with a bunch of rangers from the new angmar book

Not a lot of anything except rolling dice on this one. The ‘priorkity’ thing grates after a while. YMMV.
