Lord of the Rings WARHAMMER! | 800 pt Battle Report | Isengard vs Beornings

[@TabletopCollective]

We played the ballistas SO wrong, but we had fun! That’s all that matters right? Edit: Sorry about any spikes in audio (like the voice lines) still tinkering with audio settings. They aren’t that loud in the edit! 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Wooop cool matchup. Got this on the big tele

[@TabletopCollective]

Let's go! Big beearrss

[@Bobas_Bookstore]

Love the production! Good stuff

[@TabletopCollective]

Thank you!

[@MovieTacular]

I LOVE the BFME voice lines.

[@TabletopCollective]

It’s my favorite part of editing!

should have used that first turn heroic move win to charge Beorn and stop him from transforming! 😀

[@willmorris8121]

Shhh don't tell him that 😂

[@TabletopCollective]

🤦‍♀️

[@andrewobrien835]

Armies look great. I really enjoyed this battle report

[@TabletopCollective]

Thank you!

[@sonofhorus82]

Look at the bright side, killing your own troll didnt count as wounds dealt by Beorn for the mission at least 🤷‍♂️

[@TabletopCollective]

That’s true! 🥲

[@foehammer1172]

Doesn't your troll have Fate? Loving the production on this one, and a very cool match up!

[@TabletopCollective]

Thank you so much! I don't *think* Isengard trolls have fate. If they do then I've been playing them wrong a lot 🤣 I'll have to check!

Commenting for algorithm :) **Enter generic comment on how ballista is played incorrectly*

[@willmorris8121]

I still don’t understand how we got it so wrong. Boone’s played them quite a bit 😂

[@TabletopCollective]

😂 I don’t know what I’m doing ever

[@muesliman100]

How is it that you changed the order of scattering and in the ways for the bolt thrower within the same turn in both cases benefiting the bear player?

[@TabletopCollective]

Lack of sleep and a long filming session does that to you!

[@TabletopCollective]

Because we have families/full time jobs most of our filming is done in the wee hours of the night, we usually do 2 games and this was the 2nd I think. It happens 😂

[@muesliman100]

Oof, well, take care of yourselves. I hope the pressure to produce Batreps doesn't take the joy of gaming away then. No amount of videos on the internet is worth a burn-out.

[@TabletopCollective]

@@muesliman100 for sure! Thats probably why we average out to 1ish a month. Definitely helps not trying to pump out a batrep a week, I’d definitely burn out. 😅 - Boone

[@willmorris8121]

No way... did we really?! I don't know how we messed up that bad, I promise I didn't do it to favor the bears 🤣🤣

[@danielmccarthy9320]

How many beornings and bow did you take in each warband? The graphic just shows X?

[@TabletopCollective]

Oof that’s my bad. Forgot to put in an actual number. 😂 It’s the same in each warband, I’ll ask Will and he’ll remember!

[@simondenelzen]

Bears are 200 points each and beornings 20 points. So 20 beornings, 10 each warband.

[@danielmccarthy9320]

@@simondenelzen thanks! And how many had bows?

Go middle earth woooo

[@avalonangeloflight]

i have never played but are all games this small do you ever have say 90 to 120 models on board?

[@willmorris8121]

Some times people play at 1000 points, and that's on the high side, and could have that many depending on what army you field. I'd say most games are played between 600-800 points. Even at 800 points armies like Goblin Town, or Moria can have anywhere from 80-100 models. Usually if an army reaches those numbers their the "horde" army. Most at this points level will stay around 30-40. The bears are considered "elite," being 200 points a piece, so the rest of the army won't have too much in it.

[@TabletopCollective]

What Will said!

[@andrewhetes1623]

I wish the tactics were better it takes a lot away from the video. Either: You back up out of 10.5in from Beorn and friends (which you physically can’t do being within 3in at the start) can’t charge you. Or: You just go all in on Beorn and don’t let him “transform.” (You can beat Beorn and kill him in man form). That being said you could have backed everyone up, and just tagged him with a single Urk. While the production value was beyond expectation the rules knowledge and tactics meant I didn’t even finish this video. Sorry lads. Maybe the next one.

[@TabletopCollective]

Thanks for making it as far as you did! Appreciate a view in any capacity. They’re *Very* casual videos, and I honestly just kind of suck as a player. 😂 Someday I’ll have real tactics! - Boone

[@andrewhetes1623]

Your other videos with less “big crutches/tricks” are excellent. I throw them on while hobbying or list building. Love the content. This one as Beornings player and somebody that plays Beornings just gave me second hand frustration seeing the miscues. Keep them coming though! 🤘🏽you guys are great -this was just a personal exception for me.

[@TabletopCollective]

@@andrewhetes1623 ❤️❤️ maybe next time a refresher game or two beforehand would help. 😂
