They are stubborn, but fierce and honorable warriors, who doesn't love a short man with the will of a thousands, they are great in cooperative combat and military discipline, while the elven armies are elegant, the best archers of middle-earth, they have good manners and are well trained for combat as well, both sides have great warriors with different styles, a beautiful way of handling the situation, especially on dwarfs side
Dwarven war fighting is so based in protecting each other and moving as one unit to counter the enemies size snd number it’s absolutely beautiful to see.
Until the dumbasses from under the mountain come out all one at a time leaving each other open for attack. The cousin who showed up is a real dwarf he deserves to be king.
@@evilcartmensolo7198 To be fair they were attacking. It's hard to make a formation in the blue while being pinned and attacked. Plus they were still protecting each other by following up a kill, and just one throwing axe
God I love how the dwarves do not hesitate for even one second to fall in formation. Thats what dwarves are about in Tolkien's world and D&D. Perfectly disciplined when it comes to battle, drunken belching fools when not.
@@pasp9866 The rivalry betwwen elves and dwarves in the Tolkien universe is surprisingly complex, but in most cases it boils down to the elves looking down upon the dwarves for being short, stocky and inelegant. The dwarves see the elves as cocky weaklings and blame them for much of the evil in the world (partially rightly so). But they were never outright enemies, apart from a few incidents, and often stood togehter against their common enemies. There's also the whole dwarf creation tale, but Im not gonna try to do that on on memory...
Orcs though are the ainciant and so enmy and have killed many thousands of either sides peoples. Far more than have of each other. . They may have a grudge but they are willing to put it down to face down the Orcs.
@@elgehater the basics of creation are that the dwarves are the eldest race but were forced into stasis so the elves rose first. It was basically due to the miar squabbling (can't remember which two)
@Obihugzenobi the dwarves were given an offering: Reveal who had the one ring to get the remaining Dwarven Rings and Moria, they refused said offer. Another thing, Dwarves defended Lake Town / Dale when it came to it, the elves wanted to leave Middle-earth as soon as problems arose.
They're strong and excellent craftsman but Elves are just genetically superior. But a dwarfs determination can bring him to equal the natural edge of a Elf. The Dwarves are Batman and the Elves are superman. If the Dwarves had the equal attributes, height, they would probably be better than the Elves in everything. Like if Batman had the same powers as Superman. Batman would literally rule the universe but he wouldnt because hes Batman and only wants good. Also Batman's will and determination are several times better than superman. Superman just sucks is my point
0:44 Oh my god, that face just captures the situation perfectly. Your race is well known as being fantastic archers whilst the dwarves are known as greedy drunkards and when you unleash an arrow barrage, not only is it fully countered without enemy casualties but it instead cuts down his own men. Just pure fear and shock
@@filipbitala2624 Have you ever shot an arrow that far before? Long Bows that are made to fire that far are incredibly hard to draw back and release for that much range. It'd be impossible for them to be able to re-draw and fire a volley like that in a short repetition, where the Dwarves were using Ballista. They just had to load them and crank the rope back, and it was ready, no strain on the arms or back. Now, if the Elves had been able to consider another option, of changing their volleys into smaller batches, then, they could out time the ballista, but they were in the midst of combat, and a very large rampaging herd of massive goat bull horse creatures, with heavily armored and weaponized, screaming dwarves happened to be approaching at an alarming rate. They were pretty much in training motion mode. Not much room to think about a different tactic, they had to hold to what they knew, so that they could at least try to survive. Its seen even in irl modern day combat even. Regardless of the setting, of it being military, a fistycup bout, or even a simple competitive game. If you are on the ropes, and don't have enough time to think of what to do, your body just resorts to the muscle memory you built into it. For them Elves, it was just everyone firing their arrows at the same time, and then side stepping like a guy lag stepping you on CoD and there is nothing you can do about it cause your internet isn't good enough to outmatch the other's crappy internet.
i believe that the pike wall was used so that the elves could go over and gain a height advantage over orks farther ahead and the dwarfs kill the closer ones making a double front it's actually a pretty good idea. though i've studied to much ancient war tactics/ its a high risk high reward thing
I loved those ballista's. Besides the obvious purpose of completely destroying the elves primary tactic of raining arrows to wipe out large numbers of an army, the tails of those ballista are spread out so well that when it lands on the elves it pretty much does exactly what the elves arrow volley was suppose to do.
Yep its even funnier to see that they also have some really good tactics while working together which also shows that have along history with that as well XD the perfect love hate relationship
I absolutely love that detail as it’s tactics and weapons you wouldn’t think of unless you knew you’d face an enemy that always makes use of the other so it’s the perfect counter, but also the fact that the elves and dwarves have tactics that work seamlessly together
To Hell and Back is about Audie Murphy (1925--1971), the most decorated American soldier in the entire Second World War. In 1942 he falsified his age to 18 to join the Army and until 1945 he participated in battles on Sicily, at Salerno, Anzio and Rome, and also in southern France and the Alsace region. After the war he suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder ("shell shock") and as one of the first he took a stand for war veterans with such psychological disorders. In 1949 he wrote his autobiography "To Hell And Back" which was filmed in 1955 with Murphy playing himself. Over the next two decades he played in 44 movies. In 1971 he died in a plane crash, in the only 46 years of his life he was awarded with 33 medals, including the Medal of Honor and three Purple Hearts.
Shieldwalls are only effective if there's no other way. That was a hastily set up shield wall with open flanks. In my opinion, the sudden jump of the elves saved those dwarves

@@halbkuppe4895 depends on how strong the sword is. As some people of Middle Earth are too superior (for example, Elvish blades DON'T dull at all. If that sword was made by a dwarf it could be tough than any sword we would manage to make.)
Whenever I see this scene I cant get over the fact of how the dwarves responded so quickly and in unison to the new threat while the elves just stood there looking at the oncoming charge. Then finally reacting! and jumping over a shield wall into a charging army just about to slam into said shield wall... DWARVES FOREVER!!!
The elves are an older race and can't adapt as well. The dwarves are just second to humans as the newest and most adaptable. Tolkien makes this a key point in his books and the movies do a good job to show that.
Riding a G.O.A.T with my battle brothers i would gladly die with my battle brothers. And can we appceaite how the Dwarves tactics and bravery for the frontline is just astounding and a moment for our fallen battle brothers.
All hail Peter Jackson. He do magic to everything he touch. Love "To hell and back" with my beloved swedish band Sabaton. You guys rock. Keep on rocking.
As soon as the Orcs appeared out of holes, the Dwarves yelled: - "My God! Look at that amount of EXP!" - "Great! I will finally be able to use that Lvl100 armour!" - "Forget about the armour! We'll be able to use thoseMithrill swords!"
yeah, but you know that the archers, when the first arrow hits the target, they are putting the third in the air, the strategy is stop the enemy before he hits you, so they would have to make a lot of those things
Oldest elf in middle earth was cirdan, over 3,600 years old also in the books there are no twirly whirlies just dwarven armor was too good... Mirkwood is also not good at large scale battles better at skirmish and ambush

Audie Murphy, a east Texas farm boy who was so skinny and undersized the Army Infantry BARELY allowed him to enlist after the Marine Corps and Army Paratroopers turned him down. He ended up being the most highly decorated American soldier of WW2, earning EVERY medal for bravery the US Army offers including the Medal of Honor AND the French Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Legion de Merit. 'To hell and back' was his post war autobiography and biopic where he actually played himself.
One thing I loved about these movies was seeing the Company fight together. Seeing them create a step latter of shields for Bofur to use and jump on to the giant troll, or watching a throwing axe hot-potato between like five people in the middle of battle. They're live a freaking hive mind, and the movies made everything they did so cartoonishly seemless that it's hard not to get excited watching.
Elves: You can't defend against our arrows Dwarves: You thought wrong Thranduil: I lost a quarter of my army, so I should use the same tactic they won't see it coming Dwarves: Easy kills
and thats why you should never bring bow and arrows to a dwarven ballista fight imagine legolas and his arrows, killing one orc at a time, versus gimli on a ballista, taking them by the dozen, and saying "it doesn't count as only one !"
meelee wins if it can get in meelee range. If the rangers stand in a clump they lose their switfness and the tactile advantage of being a ranger. If the elfs were smart they would spread out, like rangers on a cliff and the rest as decoy on the ground. If that was so the dwarfs can't parry from 2 angles at the same time. They parry the arrows from the ones from the ground, but then the ones coming from the cliffs can just keep firing and the dwarfs can't do shit. Noob elfs think too one- dimensional. The dwarfs are miles ahead of them in terms of actually planning strategy, counter attacking etc.

you can see the extreme discipline of the dwarves as they equip themselves with weapons that counter the ranged attack tactics of the elves and have a cavalry of armored goats capable of breaking through shield walls. not only that, when the orcs appeared, the dwarves were undeterred and immediately put up a wall of phalanx shields to effectively stop the surge, only to see the elves driven by their pride in being protected by dwarves causing them to rush the enemies outside the shield wall which would have stopped them successfully... even with this stupid move by the elves, the dwarves quickly changed the defense formation to an attack one to save the elves from being killed by an attack in orca claw. oh, and I forgot to mention the powerful contingent of tanks capable of laying waste to disorderly groups of soldiers along with a repeater crossbow capable of blasting away distracted units.
Nah.. as a friend of mine once put it. There is a reason when you play WOW, you only punt gnomes when they are alone. Because if you do it with a Dwarf present... there is this hyperactive, over compensating, angry drunken, Orc hating, Super Midget, with the Strenght of an Orc and the Durability of a Tauren.. stand next to him.. huffing at you that :"He spilled me BEER! AND I AM PISSED!". While behind you stands your arse.. on your Blood Elf going "Urgh.. I broke a nail!". Seriously..... Seriously.. even the Gnome will be laughing at me. Damn Alliance, they have been hiding behind those shorties for far to long by now :(... bloody cowards.

Being able to withstand that arrow onslaught with bigger arrows that shatter the fragile elven wood arrows. To be able to see the director's envisioning of the story written in words - This deserves at least an honorable mention in best Unheard of Songs of the 2010's.
depends on the humans you are referring to there Númenor had humans that could fight on par with elves and dwarfs, but most of them died when it sunk in Lord of the Rings lore there are a few survivors which includes many rangers among them.
Yeah, nothing. JUST the best warriors Middle-Earth has ever met. :) They look like retards at the movies, but they are, in theory, the best of the best.
Lore-wise, while elves and dwarves are... not friendly around the time of the Hobbit and LotR, Dwarves and Orcs/Goblins are hated blood enemies. The Mount Gundabad (the place where Durin the First, progenitor of Durin's Folk, had awoken, and thusly the most sacred place of the Dwarves) had been taken by the Orcs and turned into their militarized capital, despite several attempts to dislodge them. Khazad-dûm, also known as Moria, had been the jewel of the Dwarven race, but then it fell to Durin's Bane (a Balrog of Morgoth) and was populated by orcs/goblins. Thror (descendant of Durin) was murdered by Azog in Moria, and upon Thror's decapitated brow Azog carved his name into the flesh and bone. Suffice it to say, that forever burned Azog's name into Dwarven hearts, and kicked off what was called the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Placed against any foe, a Dwarf would turn his back to them to slay one of the hated and thrice-cursed Orcs. lotr.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Dwarves_and_Orcs
They knew what they were doing, dawrves may be small but God damn perfect shield wall then there wedge formation just plowing through. Perfect example of tactics, and brains can desamate a horde
@@tyleryoung4081 Yeah, that hate is pretty much genetic and built into culture. Plus the iron hills Dwarves where an well trained military, they rallied, formed up and no questions. no pause. might die sure. King calls for charge, no hesitation.
The fact that the dwarves never backed down when the elves did and had decided to die fighting makes them so honourable. God I literally shrieked in the cinema when the elves finally came to their aid to fight together. This is cinema my friends.

@@halbkuppe4895 depends on how strong the sword is. As some people of Middle Earth are too superior (for example, Elvish blades DON'T dull at all. If that sword was made by a dwarf it could be tough than any sword we would manage to make.)
@@pyktukasplays4945 and dwarves does have a great craftsmanship,so it would explain it
The wheel was probably designed so you could sharpen your weapons during battle.
Whenever I see this scene I cant get over the fact of how the dwarves responded so quickly and in unison to the new threat while the elves just stood there looking at the oncoming charge. Then finally reacting! and jumping over a shield wall into a charging army just about to slam into said shield wall... DWARVES FOREVER!!!
The elves are an older race and can't adapt as well. The dwarves are just second to humans as the newest and most adaptable. Tolkien makes this a key point in his books and the movies do a good job to show that.
@@johnattaway8991 i thought dwarves where suposed to be the most stuborn, but most honorable too
Riding a G.O.A.T with my battle brothers i would gladly die with my battle brothers. And can we appceaite how the Dwarves tactics and bravery for the frontline is just astounding and a moment for our fallen battle brothers.
All hail Peter Jackson. He do magic to everything he touch. Love "To hell and back" with my beloved swedish band Sabaton. You guys rock. Keep on rocking.
I've decided to title this battle "everyone hates orcs"
More like "Everyone hates elves that have been cursed and need help" AmIRight?
Elb:Attack
Dwarf:(takes no damage) Don't ever touch me (SLAP)
Orks:(are coming)
and so on
roxas fearforger orcs are ok
@Timpooo - If by "help" you mean a glowing blue blade through the heart, then yes.
Battle: is ongoing
Dwarves: (casually pass an axe around)
As soon as the Orcs appeared out of holes, the Dwarves yelled:
- "My God! Look at that amount of EXP!"
- "Great! I will finally be able to use that Lvl100 armour!"
- "Forget about the armour! We'll be able to use thoseMithrill swords!"
The battle of the five armies soon became the battle of the two armies. The armies of Mordor and the armies of middle earth.
Its called 5 armies because there are literally 5 different armies in it. Men, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and Eagles
I do agree I broke to the two armies because they’re armies form two different parts of the map.
wait... were those Anti-Arrow ballistas?
HOLY SHIT BEST IDEA
General Burnside that name is balista or Axes of Dwarf
What about anti-arrow arrows
Thranduil: They're riding right into our volley, just as pla-WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?
yeah, but you know that the archers, when the first arrow hits the target, they are putting the third in the air, the strategy is stop the enemy before he hits you, so they would have to make a lot of those things
Can you do something similar but instead of blocking arrows you block artillery?
0:39 that moment you trained half your life to use a bow but suddenly realize how long you wasted your time
SCIENCE IT WORKS BITCHES
Kenboy 5 why they shoot again with bows if they know at enemy can kill they
And that half of their life is prob 1000 years.
Oldest elf in middle earth was cirdan, over 3,600 years old also in the books there are no twirly whirlies just dwarven armor was too good... Mirkwood is also not good at large scale battles better at skirmish and ambush
@@eetulehtinen7304 ballistas normally take a hell of a long time to reload, but dwarves are magic
i like to think that elfs and dwarfs have this ancient plan for this exact event, they are fighting each other and they line up to fight the orks like that was agreed apon by encient dwarfs and elfs
Dwarves : *Set up a shield wall*
Elves : *"Hento Neika Banzaiiiii"*
Dwarfs are the war engineers !!!
Amir Asadi, Dwarfs are more good, than droids!
That are a small spear wall
They are
Were there real crossbow bolt like the ones they used?

LYRICS
A short man from Texas
A man of the wild
Thrown into combat
Where bodies lie piled
Hides his emotions
His blood's running cold
Just like his victories
His story unfolds
Bright
A white light
If there'd be
Any glory in war
Let it rest
On men like him
Who went to hell and came back
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
A man of the 15th
A man of can do
Friends fall around him
And yet he came through
Let them fall face down
If they must die
Making it easier
To say goodbye
Bright
A white light
If there'd be
Any glory in war
Let it rest
On men like him
Who went to hell and came back
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
Oh gather round me
And listen while I speak
Of a war
Where hell is six feet deep
And all along the shore
Where cannons still roar
They're haunting my dreams
They're still there when I sleep
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
Honestly I just wanna die screaming while stabbing the enemy leader
Audie Murphy, a east Texas farm boy who was so skinny and undersized the Army Infantry BARELY allowed him to enlist after the Marine Corps and Army Paratroopers turned him down. He ended up being the most highly decorated American soldier of WW2, earning EVERY medal for bravery the US Army offers including the Medal of Honor AND the French Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Legion de Merit. 'To hell and back' was his post war autobiography and biopic where he actually played himself.
One thing I loved about these movies was seeing the Company fight together. Seeing them create a step latter of shields for Bofur to use and jump on to the giant troll, or watching a throwing axe hot-potato between like five people in the middle of battle. They're live a freaking hive mind, and the movies made everything they did so cartoonishly seemless that it's hard not to get excited watching.
Elves: You can't defend against our arrows
Dwarves: You thought wrong
Thranduil: I lost a quarter of my army, so I should use the same tactic they won't see it coming
Dwarves: Easy kills
This is extremely well put together, this is absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
0:39
Elves: "Wait, that's illegal."
and thats why you should never bring bow and arrows to a dwarven ballista fight
imagine legolas and his arrows, killing one orc at a time, versus gimli on a ballista, taking them by the dozen, and saying "it doesn't count as only one !"
The king’s expression... “Timeless and memorable classic.”
1:34 - When you play defense mission , but your co-op is suicider
Kamil X that 0:43 that face when you when win the Mission because of him and he had a bigger kill count than you
I laughed more than it should
Honestly it looks so stupid but in a way it was a good surprise attack.
Thranduil(virgin elf) : we will kill you from a distanse
Dain(CHAD DWARF) : oh I don't think so
meelee wins if it can get in meelee range. If the rangers stand in a clump they lose their switfness and the tactile advantage of being a ranger. If the elfs were smart they would spread out, like rangers on a cliff and the rest as decoy on the ground. If that was so the dwarfs can't parry from 2 angles at the same time. They parry the arrows from the ones from the ground, but then the ones coming from the cliffs can just keep firing and the dwarfs can't do shit. Noob elfs think too one- dimensional. The dwarfs are miles ahead of them in terms of actually planning strategy, counter attacking etc.
The books and the movies were wonderful, masterpieces that should never be forgotten
Can we just appreciate how the dwarves immediately reacted and prepared while the elves just sat there in shock

You can legit see the Elves also falling into group formations as the Dwarfs pass by?
The look on Thranduil's face when the twidly-widly's not only stopped the first volley of arrows but also wiped out large groups of his soldiers.
Realising that half of his army is now useless

He looked light that because he cares for his people.
@your local crusader yea but I'm sure they don't have the trainning of their actual melee guys
I got goosebumps watching this, the amount of manlyness in this one video is godlike
you can see the extreme discipline of the dwarves as they equip themselves with weapons that counter the ranged attack tactics of the elves and have a cavalry of armored goats capable of breaking through shield walls.
not only that, when the orcs appeared, the dwarves were undeterred and immediately put up a wall of phalanx shields to effectively stop the surge, only to see the elves driven by their pride in being protected by dwarves causing them to rush the enemies outside the shield wall which would have stopped them successfully... even with this stupid move by the elves, the dwarves quickly changed the defense formation to an attack one to save the elves from being killed by an attack in orca claw.
oh, and I forgot to mention the powerful contingent of tanks capable of laying waste to disorderly groups of soldiers along with a repeater crossbow capable of blasting away distracted units.
Dwarves: Experienced Dark Souls players
Elves: Casuls.
Humans: Who cares, just looked.
Orcs: PVE
True
Nah.. as a friend of mine once put it. There is a reason when you play WOW, you only punt gnomes when they are alone. Because if you do it with a Dwarf present... there is this hyperactive, over compensating, angry drunken, Orc hating, Super Midget, with the Strenght of an Orc and the Durability of a Tauren.. stand next to him.. huffing at you that :"He spilled me BEER! AND I AM PISSED!".
While behind you stands your arse.. on your Blood Elf going "Urgh.. I broke a nail!". Seriously..... Seriously.. even the Gnome will be laughing at me. Damn Alliance, they have been hiding behind those shorties for far to long by now :(... bloody cowards.
those humans looked like blue phantoms when you invade someone
Dwarves are more trustworthy anyway. I'd rather have a short, stout, strong and honorable person beside than some fairy any day of the week

Love the song and the clip as well. Masterpiece as it's finest.
Dwarves have the best anti-air cover (durin-400) and goatized infantry.
Shouldn't it be called goatized cavalry? Since they are technically riding and thereby not infantry.
Those goats when attacking the orcs. Goats: save some orcs for us to.
They could do with more slayers though
Being able to withstand that arrow onslaught with bigger arrows that shatter the fragile elven wood arrows. To be able to see the director's envisioning of the story written in words - This deserves at least an honorable mention in best Unheard of Songs of the 2010's.

Lore-wise, while elves and dwarves are... not friendly around the time of the Hobbit and LotR, Dwarves and Orcs/Goblins are hated blood enemies. The Mount Gundabad (the place where Durin the First, progenitor of Durin's Folk, had awoken, and thusly the most sacred place of the Dwarves) had been taken by the Orcs and turned into their militarized capital, despite several attempts to dislodge them. Khazad-dûm, also known as Moria, had been the jewel of the Dwarven race, but then it fell to Durin's Bane (a Balrog of Morgoth) and was populated by orcs/goblins. Thror (descendant of Durin) was murdered by Azog in Moria, and upon Thror's decapitated brow Azog carved his name into the flesh and bone.
Suffice it to say, that forever burned Azog's name into Dwarven hearts, and kicked off what was called the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Placed against any foe, a Dwarf would turn his back to them to slay one of the hated and thrice-cursed Orcs.

The fact that the dwarves never backed down when the elves did and had decided to die fighting makes them so honourable. God I literally shrieked in the cinema when the elves finally came to their aid to fight together. This is cinema my friends.
