Harad Vs Mordor! ~ Conquest Champions Season 3 ~ Middle Earth SBG Battle Report

[@ajcolasante]

The baron of dice sponsorship showing up when the Witch King flopped his wounds against the Taskmaster is dirty 😂

[@tedarnoldmoore]

I'm glad we established who's taskmaster had the longer whip

[@ConquestCreations]

The task masters performance in game is directly proportional to the length of his whip

[@thesmithy3D]

Quote of the tournament, needs a 3 to wound rolls a 2 “yea it’s great, I love this game”

[@ConquestCreations]

Hahahah It was a good moment

[@ajcolasante]

gotta accept its a dice game in the end! (still seething tho)

[@tiberiuscodius5828]

I absolutely love the OG Suladan model! Way better than the newer one, in my opinion and would love to see it more often

[@DarkhorseOldWorlders]

Agreed. Wonder why GW changed it sooo much??

[@ConquestCreations]

This one is actually a kit bash between the old and new models! Its the body of the old one but with the banner of the new one on his back

[@tiberiuscodius5828]

@@ConquestCreations yes I noticed that! That's a great idea

[@stylesheetra9411]

OG suladan is sooo good The newer one looks like a villain from power rangers..

[@Ryu102684]

Excited to see the semi final battles now! Great to see more of Tor Ithilas, I have finally pledged for the whole Conquest Creations terrain collection for my groups gaming!

[@SPOREOUT3]

Great game! Really well played and well filmed. Can hardly wait for the next game!!

[@kaz9357]

Great tournament so far! These have been the most fun. To watch, and keep getting better. All hail the new MESBG you tube king!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate! The next episode is coming soon!

[@TiagoRamosVideos]

Love these Battle Reports 👌

[@kentonbiffert2802]

I've got to say, I have been quite exited for this.

[@Yokelmutt]

Awesome video in an awesome series. Conquest champions keeps getting better.

[@Le_ito]

Thanks a lot for all your vidéos ! I started to follow conquest creations since a month from France and what a such way to discover all your work, miniatures etc... Thanks a lot for make the best GWS hobby living 😁🙏

[@microforgeminis]

Hot damn this one was worth the wait. Alex’s dice rolls were pretty grim but he showed his quality. Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@Mdhneo007]

Always enjoy your batreps and these Champion Leagues, especially. Thanks for posting them and beautiful STLs, had to pick them up

[@2411td]

Huge game, Good use of magic from the Betrayer. Love to see Raza in a list, I think he's supremely underrated (most serpent horde players seem to prefer king mtd with war spear)

[@Princejp-m6k]

FINALLY CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS BACK!!

[@mennorach]

Interesting game. I read somewhere that with nazguls on both sides, the game might devolve into a SapWill race to the bottom struggle. Good to see something else and then the Sap Will spell in a sniper moment actions. Looking forward to the next one :)

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment. In games where the wraiths do Sap will each other to death its actually really interesting because it means that they are giving up targeting anything else in the army. This was a great use of the wraiths to use the compells and then the Sap will assassination was awesome

[@LakeyWargames]

Great to see the champions league back in action!! Well played by both sides! :)

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate! The rest is on its way!

[@ClaymoreLinx]

There should have been a rematch between Laketown and the Easterlings. I am not sure I like that the rules were simply ignored.

[@jakemaclaine]

Great videos as always! Top quality!

[@darchensol5112]

nice to see raza getting to do his job

[@darkknightgaming695]

Alex your serpent horde army looks great, how did you paint them

[@ajcolasante]

Hey, thanks very much! The basic premise was Celestra Grey on the outer cloaks, Skavenblight dinge for all the inner cloaks/pants, gorthor brown for all the belts/wrappings/quivers/bows.The aqua is (I believe) sobek green, and the base is just mephiston red and some tuskor fur. Painted most of these guys a year or two ago and kept it fairly simple, base coat, nuln oil wash, highlight up with the base colour. Would love to go back and add some more layers to them!

[@Four_Farthings_Gaming]

For the Alexs of the world!!!!!! Hope he wins the whole thing!

[@theendrinmaster7921]

Great batrep! Been waiting for these 😂

[@ConquestCreations]

I am glad its finally out! You wont have to wait as long for the rest of the season

[@liamharder3678]

Lets go fellas

[@stylesheetra9411]

Those orcs are great! Where are they from?

[@danielenasato218]

Amazing game!

[@SCMitchell]

Fun battle report. Thanks.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment mate

[@Four_Farthings_Gaming]

Just saw the siege equipment add-on for Tor-Ithilas! If I back the project is it automatically added? I can’t find a way to include it in my pledge

[@andrewobrien835]

Great Battle with 2 beautiful painted armies

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment

[@Ilostmycactus]

Are Beornings good anymore? Thanks for the content.

[@ConquestCreations]

The rules in Middle Earth very very rarely change. Beornings are still one of the most powerful armies in the game

[@MagnusRiemer]

Great Game!!! but one question is the mordor Siege bow acuall a thing to equip on the gorgoroth Beats or is it just Nice to Watch ?

[@ConquestCreations]

It was made for a custom rules tournament but in this game its just cool to look at

[@nkmy6165]

I love the conquest champions league serie. Did you fix the issue with the Easterling vs laketown game ? Will you re-match the game, because it was a draw, master of laketown fled and he had to be the general in the list ?

[@joshuaorourke1976]

Great vid. What’s the reason for choosing an ordinary Mordor shaman over Kardush?

[@ConquestCreations]

Good question, the main reason in this list is for the speed from the warg. David already has a great caster with the Witch King so he doesn't need to worry about the shaman just getting his will sapped from another wraith so replenishing it with Kardush is less important. Having a few fireblasts can be helpful but having a model who can move 10 inches and auto pass all courage tests is really helpful for getting late game objectives. In this scenario and match up it isn't to big of a deal but in other games it would be

[@Azazel671]

Would have loved to see the Great Beast commanded to charge into the ruins and start the inevitable stampede after stampede as it continues to wound itself ...at least that's what always happens to mine 😅

[@ConquestCreations]

Just double check that you are playing that correctly, it will only take damage if it hits a fortification with defense 9 or higher. Ruins are not fortifications so you shouldn't take damage if you hit one "If the War Beast comes into contact with a fortification with a Defence of 9 or higher, or another War Beast, it will inflict three Strength 9 hits upon it as well as suffering three Strength 9 hits itself"

[@Azazel671]

@@ConquestCreations is there a current rule to dictate what counts as a fortification? I think in the old rulebook there was a table but at the events I've taken my beast to we've always just agreed on what terrain on the table would count as defence 9

[@ConquestCreations]

@@Azazel671 The definition of a fortification is strong walls, towers, etc. that are built to protect a place. There isn't a rule book definition of it but its clearly not intended to be all terrain. The ruins in the video were ruins rather than fortifications.

[@SamA-gh3kq]

Is the Tor Ithilas kickstarter offering only the STL files for printing, or is there a backer option to buy them already printed as well?

[@SamA-gh3kq]

Also is Mordor using child soldiers at 9:00? A new low!

[@ConquestCreations]

Only offering the STL's however we are also selling a merchant license that will allow businesses all around the world to sell our pieces

[@SonsOfGondor1]

I thought you couldn't compel a war beast? Doesn't the old FAQ (that got folded into the new rulebook) on moving it against its will come into play? Q: Can a War Beast be affected by special rules that force it to move, such as a Wood Elf Sentinel’s Eldamar Madrigal or a Dead Marsh Spectre’s A Fell Light is in Them? (p.80) A: No.

[@leonk.3739]

(I think) This is referring to the beast itself. You can still target the guy who controls the war beast which will also move the beast.

[@SonsOfGondor1]

@@leonk.3739 Just looked at the new rulebook (p. 83) a little closer - you're right. You learn something new every day. :-) Thanks!

[@kj4411]

I'm sorry but I thought the witch king or any ring wraith going out of Will is not count as a leader kill?

[@TylerStein-p4i]

Another excellent game! Also when is GW going to hire the conquest team to design all of their middle earth terrain? Seems like they're dragging their feet

[@ConquestCreations]

Games Workshop terrain is great but we love the freedom of 3D printing allowing us to make whatever we want. We have started roughing in the ideas for what project comes next!

[@wuothanar3544]

Not to sound rude or anything, but: FINALLY :D

[@ConquestCreations]

It took a little bit longer than it should have! Don't worry though you wont need to wait as long for the rest

[@luisluis571]

I think you are starting a taskmaster pandemic.

[@ConquestCreations]

That is the goal of the whole series!

[@jarrodstubbs7415]

Really wish betrayer harad wasn't in the meta. It's really encourages negative gameplay where you just run away and shoot (not that it was too bad in this game). Not a fun army to play against.

[@Competentetyler]

Not sure where you are getting the Betrayer being in the Meta. First time I’ve heard that take.

[@jarrodstubbs7415]

@@Competentetyler it is in my area at least. Heaps of people play it this way

[@ajcolasante]

Yeah I’m quite surprised by this take. I’ve only seen the betrayer used by a couple other players, and usually this was in all mounted variants. It’s also quite obvious that if I wanted to, I could’ve hid right in the corners with the terrain barely allowing the great beast to get into combat whatsoever. However, it’s far more fun for everyone if the shooting has a turn or two to chip off some wounds, and then you just get stuck in!

[@jarrodstubbs7415]

@@ajcolasante yeah I like that it was not used how it usually it is when I see it in this game

[@Redtecho]

When it is evil vs evil I hope they both lose
