First Thoughts on Good Army Lists - Armies of the Hobbit | MESBG

[@samuelmoore5763]

This series has been so good! The books feel like such a task for me to get into the headspace to read, so it’s so helpful having you break it down! Thanks so much!

[@twotreesgaming]

I'm so glad to hear that! It's very much initial reaction so there's definitely bits missing but you get the bulk of it 😅

Rip army of Thror Erebor and Dale is the way to play grim hammers now. It’s really awkward to make a Dwarf list with Girion standing in the corner with a banner so you don’t lose 4 points for showing up. Weird decision to do that but it is what it is

[@twotreesgaming]

Yeah does seem weird...!

[@mrlukesir486]

Any great video, thanks for the breakdowns 👍

[@brandonkirk6498]

Thorin's Company vs The Fellowship and Assault on Ravenhill vs Breaking of The Fellowship I think can be really cool games

[@twotreesgaming]

It's got to happen..!

[@tylerframpton2113]

I'm hoping that the book that's coming later for book related lists includes an option to do the Battle of Azanulbizar where you can mix Army of thror, iron hills and Khazud dum dwarves. But there are some really fun lists here, the assault on ravenhill and an all hero list of erebor reclaimed is probably going to be something I run. Swap out a couple of thorins company for Dain and an iron Hill captain (for master of battle) could be a lot of fun

[@twotreesgaming]

Yeah I really thought we'd get Azanulbizar! Someone suggested that it could be a good appendix to a Moria supplement. I wouldn't hate that..!

Can't wait for the evil profiles

[@jamesmaclennan4525]

My build for Erebor & Dale at 600pts is Girion with18 Warriors of Dale(9 bow, Banner, 6 Spear/shield, 2 Shield) Thror , 9 Warriors of Erebor(Spear/Shield) 9 Guardians of the King. At 800 points Add in Thrain with 4 Warriors of Erebor(Shield) and 3 Grimhammers. I need to play a few games to see if it really works but it seems solid.

[@noahkarmann3994]

That is not bad at all. I'll have to save this and try it for myself

[@twotreesgaming]

Having just picked a few 600 pointers for some fun games tonight, I can confirm yours would whoop them all 😂 really like the look of it!

[@austintaro7062]

For the Army Bonus in Erebor Reclaimed "To the King" does the rerolling 1's benefit iron hills warriors as well? Because in the second half of that bonus it seems that it would effect them for rerolling 1's since it just states "friendly models" and it seems that your heroes just need to have the infantry keyword in order to have this bonus work.

[@twotreesgaming]

Quite possibly!

[@tw8364]

Ravenhill Legolas has to be the best hero in the game for me, he’s an absolute monster

[@twotreesgaming]

Point-for-point I think I might agree with you!

[@mattallen9629]

Army of laketown are fun to be honest Fili, kili and oin Swap places and masters banner If fili and kili and supported and oin is near by you can re roll of 3 dual rolls Followed by re roll wound rolls with dwarves and re roll 1s on laketown guard Also tauriel is a beast

[@axelskovgaardteglskov8443]

While I love that Fíli and Kíli (and Bofur and Óin) became viable choices, I really don't get why Lake-town Guards went up to 7 points when all other models with comparable stats are only 5. As far as I can tell, the army was only considered top tier before because people allied in big heroes, which is not possible anymore, so why did they get so much more expensive?

[@mattallen9629]

@axelskovgaardteglskov8443 yeah I have no answer to the guards being so highly costed, 6 would of been enough. You do get a decent amount of shooting though, especially with tauriel. Just need to defend barriers if possible to get as much defence as possible

[@twotreesgaming]

Yeah they look great fun! I also don't understand why they're 7 points, but it looks fun!
