All armies are limited to 33% of their warriors having bows. Riders of Rohan are sculpted with 100% bows (a mistake from 2002!). The fact they don't count towards bow limit is to make it so you can actually use them legally, not to make it more thematic or similar. I think new riders would come as standard with 33% bows. Hope that makes sense!
@@twotreesgaming side point though - could it also be a gesture so people continue to use older models as opposed to forcing people to buy a whole new segment of their lists? I know thats unlike GW but as MESBG is more niche and a smaller fanbase I guess they might not want to treat it the same way they would say, AOS? (Respects to my fellow Beasts of Chaos players for having their entire army removed from the system).
@10:40 The special rule "back on your horse" is also very thematic and doesn't work on Hama I think. Read the cav rules on p67: ""which models can ride". Taking that into consideration I don't think Hama can suddenly mount.
Loving the content mate. I’m a bit sceptical about some of the changes with list building but very excited to get out and play. I’m starting an Uruk Hai scout list so looking forward to your thoughts on the evil profiles!
Thanks! Yeah there's lots to take in tbh, I'm wanting to see how it all shakes out. Lurtz' scouts look decent now though so you might be onto a winner!
As someone who hasn’t gotten their hands on the new books yet, I’ve been really enjoying your breakdowns. Super excited for the videos on the evil armies👍
Really enjoying your thoughts on the new profiles and lists, and nice to see someone not being completely negative about every list. I’m actually glad to see the end of lists with models carrying a mass of wargear, makes list building much less confusing, but I’m looking forward to playing a few games to see how it plays! Definitely considering making an ent army after getting Treebeard for christmas 🤣looking forward to tomorrows video too 😁
Nice one! I am really looking forward to Test the new lists. 😊 Had to decide for my first pick going into a tournament in January. Due to legacy and armies of middle earth almost all of my armies with more than 600 points are not allowed and so I had to choose between Return of the king or bringing Gothmogs legion to 669 points. In the end I Decided to go with Eomers Riders so I am really excited to use these two new monsters in combat 😂
Im new to this, can you elaborate on why the bow limit rule means we aren’t getting new riders? Thanks.

@@twotreesgaming perfect sense! Thank you!

That's great to hear thank you! Won't be long till it's up! 😁

Treebeard and the Ents are so good now!! And yeah, I'm just excited to have a few games tbh and see how it all shakes out! 😁

Louis is exactly the same! Hoping the third book is sooner rather than later... Eomers riders seems a solid choice though!
Thanks for the review! Which previous video has your discussion of the Reclamation of Osgiliath list?

Should be on that one - the one with the Hera model as the cover. 😁
I was very happy to see Realms of Men! The only thing that could have made it even better is if there was a matching Realms of Evil Men list.
I had this conversation with Aaron earlier today - it would be so cool get the evil men kings, but I'm not too hopeful!
The rohan lists look really fun. The defenders of edoras list could be quite a good hero focussed list. All mounted
Agreed with Life giving the heroic combat and the re-rolling wounds!
Gwaihir should be taken over the hero horses surely in MOTW. He's a BEAST
This is a very good point! And he's not vulnerable to the Sharpshooters!
