13:04 I think this is one spot where the game took a turn. I understand the play of getting closer for Heroic Moves + Banner. However, if Aragorn just focuses on the Archers it does three things: 1. Keeps Aragorn outside of the enemy Hero’s range (VPs safe) 2. Contains the enemy from escaping to other portions of the board 3. Keeps Jeremy’s heroes munching through Army of the Dead troops, closer to quarter and game ending Great game by both players!

Great game. I have a 650 pt game coming up soon and really fancy trying Aragorn with the KotD. I don't think I have the courage to run a 20 model list though. I've increased the model count and plan to run Aragorn with 4 Fountain Court guard, 2 knights and 6 warriors with shield and spear. Plus the KotD with just 8 warriors with shields and Damrod with 5 rangers. Gives it some shooting and with the spears backing the rangers, a bit more resilience and a model count of 28. Of course there's always a problem with diluting the punch too. We'll see how it goes. 😃

@Jewus19 7 ай бұрын

to be fair that is a question I ask myself in all of Jeremy's matches. There just never is not a 6 when it comes to important combats, heroic strike or to wound rolls. Also I do not rate this Army of the dead + gondor army list highly. Just no numbers at all. Also throwing aragorn into a surround with legolas is the only save way to lose him.

You are correct, The King of the Dead has 3 fate. That is exactly what we played in this game. He spent one earlier in the game so at that stage he only had 2 remaining

@montelugo3908 7 ай бұрын

I think it was a huge tactical blunder from PJ to throw Aragorn in there, as the king of the dead was gone, and Jeremy had so many heroes left. I think he should avec heroic combat the archers continuously, keeping them from the table quarters. And maybe try to throw the king of the dead on the right to escape tauriel if possible. But of course it is difficult to think about it in game and he is a great player so well done PJ ! I would have not done better anyway.

@metascrub285 7 ай бұрын

I also think there is a massive error in his list, he should of used return of the king and got a super cheap strider then elessar. Elsssar is just too expensive in an army of 14-15 point warriors and in the ll strider is literally elessar for way cheaper, only difference is no hourse and less defence.

@@ConquestCreations interesting catch, I just re-read the rules and completely agree. A follow up question though (50/50 it’s dumb or just tricky) - if Aragorn is striking a model with Anduril that is currently under effect of heroic defense - does he still need a 4+ or only 6s? I’m 95% sure it’s only 6s but interesting to see your opinion

@metascrub285 7 ай бұрын

I think pg should of just used return of the king and got a more cost efficient strider for 160 points and warriors then using elessar which is super expensive points wise and not that much better then strider. Strider being 160, getting a banner effect and getting anduril for free clearly out classes elssar who is like 225 points in the top of my head and gets only a hourse and higher defence.

@nateponcini996 6 ай бұрын

Strider has to pay 40 points to equip Anduril, and only Elessar has the banner effect. And Elessar is base D7, and Strider is base D5

@metascrub285 6 ай бұрын

@nateponcini996 look up the legendary legion. Strider gets anduril for free and counts as a banner for spirit models. He is way more cost efficient by a land slide for 160 points over elessar. There is literally no argument for paying 80 points for 2 extra defence and an armoured hourse over a 160 point strider banner and anduril.
