Rangers Vs Haradrim ~ Conquest Champions Game 1! ~ Middle Earth SBG Battle Report

[@NoobsandMen]

I hang my head in shame. I have brought dishonor on to my beloved dunedain. I will see to my 41 days of customary isolation and self reflection. I hope to return bigger, better, and bring honour back to Rangers. -Sean

[@JohnnyTightIips]

You will come back as Strider reborn!

[@Needlesse]

The curse of the dice and a gigachad taskmaster was too much even for this legendary lad.

[@lucasallen6248]

Next time bro head up!

[@obicproductions890]

Hey Sean, is there a reason why, when Alex was calling heroic combats early game, you werent also calling them against his heroes? Essentially it would have given you a 50-50 roll off to cancel his heroic combat and stop him from continuing on and killing more guys. Worst case you lose the might which in a way you did anyways and best case you stop him (you would have been guaranteed to cancel at least one of them due to it going back and forth). Those three heroic combats he called early game really seemed to shift the momentum against you.

ihate the new youtube design....saw this comment before watching the video and yeah its spoiled now...

[@Noobslayar]

These batreps are truly the best in the game. Perfect length, editing, and interviews to make you feel a part of it without getting bogged down in the busywork.

[@Noobslayar]

Also appreciate your tactics explanations to help your viewers become better players!

[@BrianSmith-cn2jh]

This was the best champions tournament round yet. I cannot wait to see the rest of the series. Love the quality, production, lighting, beautifully painted miniatures, and action packed game. Thank you for your hard work to bring us the best MESBG entertainment on screen. Loved the game

[@MathieuVuylsteke]

Let's be honest here, incredible back luck for Sean this game. Winning maybe a single roll off could've changed the game completely after breaking. Both played good though.

[@marlinkort3330]

The Quality of the Battle Report is unmatched anywhere else!!! This is so cool and fun to watch. But you could show the player's reaction a bit more often to see the emotions behind the battle. In this case I mean of Alex because Sean was seen dying inside a few times. So my request is kind of to show both fighters. But I must say I absolutely love your editing and detailed explaining of the figures, the scenarios and the outcome! You are doing such a great job! Keep it up. And the Tournament style is just so catching and fun to watch:D

[@SonsOfGondor1]

Dude, the pregame poll, the side images of the units that are being talked about - such great adds to the video!

[@davidebasso1102]

FUN FACT: the orc taskmaster is the bravest of all Taskmasters: imagine whip Sauron to give him free might XD

[@star_wars_miniatures]

Sean!! Get some lahmian medium on those glossy rangers!! 😅

[@Blastoice]

They look baaaad 😢

[@Puske]

Finally, season 3!! Can't wait for the next one. I would love to see more of the dice rolling. Rolls for priority, shooting and combat, I want to see it all! I know this leads to longer videos but thats totally fine with me! Keep it up!

[@AmGolden8623]

lets go!! bringing my childhood to life thank you for this channel

[@GaronneWargame]

Very nice guys ! The video is perfectly timed, I realy love it ! Can't wait to see more.

[@montelugo3908]

Really great battle report, the Serpent Horde looking too brutal to be beaten by anyone !

[@Splentys]

That was some seriously one sided dice rolling! haha

[@LakeyWargames]

Few days late as I didn't realise this had dropped yet but even late to the party that was well worth it!! Well played on both sides. It was a fun match to see! :D

[@Shua02]

Been so pumped to see these start to roll out! Love the channel!

[@Eiweing]

Harad will have its vengeance!!! Lovely first battle 🙂

[@TiagoRamosVideos]

Great game 👌

[@irishtom30]

These battle reps are the perfect length and level of detail

[@davarece]

I'm getting back in mesbg after more then 15years, I'm interested in starting out with isengard so I can't wait for that battle

[@KnudAutlermann]

What a game!! I was waiting for this and was not disappointed. This stuff is so inspiring to get my own MESBG armies finished.

[@rileyallen310]

Love the armies guys! Liking the fact that Sean might be starting to realise that d4 isn’t always as good as he thinks 😂 Also, obligatory rules point: Unsure if it’s just the voiceover or Sean actually forgetting in game, but Aragorn does provide a standfast to the Dúnedain as per the army bonus.

[@thecreeperkingplays]

Its Arathorn not Aragorn Sean is just using Aragorn's model

[@robertoschettino1448]

@@thecreeperkingplaysstandfast works with Arathorn too!

[@Competentetyler]

@Alex the March with delayed At The Double call was masterful. I think that won you the game. Well played! @Sean while there were some tactical errors, I’m not sure what you could have done against the Taskmaster’s infinite +4 rolling compounded with not winning a single roll off. I loved the strategy to target the enemy archers to swing the shooting battle heavily in your favor. What happened in Turn 2? I was expecting a Heroic Accuracy and dismounting all Cav, forcing them to stay put another turn (unless a 6 was rolled on Thrown Rider).

[@Ajfmaizy]

big tactical game! Wonder how it would have gone if Sean committed to full shooting, lose board control, then mop up towards the end... assuming there wasn't a time limit in the battle!

[@princev8283]

Great one lads

[@Benji-si7do]

Felt bad for Sean and his dunedain but that taskmaster was on fire

[@ConquestCreations]

The best taskmaster performances Ive ever seen

[@joshmortimer3433]

What a great game that was, I couldn't look away.

[@jamesellis5942]

Looks like noobs better up that taskmaster to A tier

[@NoobsandMen]

Straight to triple S tier -Sean

[@EarthenPanda]

Good batrep!

[@nkmy6165]

Man i'm a beginner and i just lost a game mostly because i misused the heroic march rule ! I believed everything in the heroic march range couldn't charge at all... Thanks for the explanation, it's much more clearer now (and much more op !)

[@troyluv33]

Love how players move modles in tight places and move terrain to fit them and make it seems normal.

[@j.k.5445]

Yes!! Finally!

[@xproctor1793]

Anybody got a link for the little rubber bands?

[@NoobsandMen]

Loom bands. Picked them up from my local Kmart. -Sean

[@charlessadlerii6205]

LET'S GO!

[@PMMagro]

Nice!

[@sillylilly714]

let's hope sean remembers how many attacks Arathorn had this time!

[@NoobsandMen]

For you, I'll remember anything -Sean

[@S0litaire-n7g]

LOL Alex got all the dices. Insane.

[@hlm896]

21:26 did he just raw dog that 10" measurement 💀💀 bro that was like 15" for sure

[@ConquestCreations]

Hahahah great comment, don't worry we do premeasure anything before we move like that but watching it again that does look like a long 10" hahaha

[@tomlok4254]

Love it

[@nukeman4048]

the kobolds hunger for more

[@ArchangelTyrael]

Harad without a Mûmak.....No Mùmak mo party.

[@MartinMartin57]

I am sorry to say it, but rangers deployment is just like someone who play them first time and say: yolo! Absolutely miss understanding how to play them. All of them should be in range of 1 hero, who can call heroic shooting or heroic accuracy. There is litteraly no reason to split like that if you are going to shoot competition, and ranger player should know it because he deploy most of his forces second. In first turn of shooting he pay for it and already loose that game in my opinion. Turn three and he let charge dunedains by all heroes which is instant death for them. Dunedains should also call heroic fights to do them first and dont let evil heroes jump to another fights.

[@NoobsandMen]

I played this very very very poorly and have absolutely no excuses. My absolutely weakest performance in all aspects of playing rangers by far. Happens to the best of us from time to time. Love that it happened on the biggest MESBG channel tho 😅 Ah well it's a game, life's not over. -Sean

[@MartinMartin57]

@@NoobsandMen sorry if it sounds salty, i am just in shock. Its my favourite army and i hadvthat hope the Rangers will kick some haradrim ass :D Come back stronger as soon as possible!! Sure You can do this with dunedains next time!

[@NoobsandMen]

@@MartinMartin57 nah man I fully expect it from a fellow rangers player. I have put shame on us. It's my favorite army, and most successful army at tournaments having gotten me 1st place many times (tho I usually run halbarad). I don't know what went through my head this game. -Sean

[@craig3111]

I love the rangers army but they’re not a tournament winning or even competitive army. Yes you get might but you use it all first round of shooting to get a few kills and then once closed down you essentially have 20 standard ranger level troops with pretty low fight and low defence. Only one attack and one wound etc.

[@owaindavies8364]

They have 2 attacks from the army bonus. Fight 4 and strength 4. They can definitely cut through an army pretty effectively.

[@lutzeichmeyer9338]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT DADDY ARY!!!

[@nicholaswalker4045]

Great game. Shame the Rangers are not that good without beat stick heroes. They really need a buff, they're over well overcosted and average stats/war gear.

[@101kuji]

Hell Yeah!!! Rangers!!! Shitcloak is back!

[@hyberias248]

Great Batrep. A pitty the Dúnedain lost this one but it kind of suits my experience - Rangers of the North have aged badly and dont have many good Matchups.

[@Liam_TheNoob]

Oof

[@michaelthurley1651]

Bad list match bad scenario, but sean fought hard.
