Big shoutout to David st 15:05. Reminding his opponent that the great beast pivots before moving and 8" away isnt safe. I've played a few guys that would not give thst heads up and try to get a "gotcha" moment there. It's a small moment of sportsmanship but definitely something you love to see.

[@ArchangelTyrael]

Is that a special rule for the great beast?

[@shishisei]

@@ArchangelTyrael warbeast don't move like other models. They pivot, choosing a direction, then trample in that direction. Since the beast has an oval base, it means that once the beast pivots at the beginning of movement, it would "gain" an extra inch

[@SomeThingsFishy]

So true. What a cool guy move. I have probably sacrificed games by informing my opponent of mistakes such as this. Although it hurts at the time, it is always worth it. Gotchas make the game less fun for everyone!

[@Competentetyler]

@@SomeThingsFishyI got ya > Gotcha!

[@JohnnyTightIips]

Always better to win because of tactics or dice luck with both players understanding what is happening, rather than getting gotchas because the other person didn't realise something.

Who ever painted those Elves and Men needs a god damn medal. Absolutely top tier… want me a video guide on how to replicate 😂

Where there's a whip, there's a way!

[@masonduke5647]

We don't wanna go to war today

[@OGEETOMO]

It feels good being a part of the 30% that predicted the beautifully painted Elves and Men would bite the dust in this one. I didn't know you could morgul blade after a duel roll. For some reason, I always thought you had to declare it first (like attacking with a 2 hander), but you taught me something today.

[@darchensol5112]

yeah its just "during the fight phase before rolling to wound" so you can wait until you've won the fight before saying youre using it

[@kyleg5950]

@@darchensol5112 is there an faq on it? That seems not rules as intended

[@darchensol5112]

@@kyleg5950 dont think so. very clearly worded. and i reckon it works fine as a one use item. would suck very much if ten points was wasted just cause you lost a fight. gets wasted often enough as it is😆 still have to roll to wound with it and get by fate rolls so not OP. its a magic sword, i reckon he can turn it on when he wants

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment! Good job on the predictions! The wording for the Morgul blade is: "Once per game, this model's controlling player may declare they are using their Morgul blade during the Fight phase before rolling To Wound."

[@NapoleonicWargaming]

​@@kyleg5950it is to me. Think about how the WK only pulls it once Frodo is on the ground

[@xcomeruinx]

Another amazing batrep - I really like the format. The visuals are amazing and very descriptive of what is actually occurring in the game. Keep up the great work and keen to see more of the series.

[@szwecmylove]

Love the colours on the Elves, and the Great beast ballista conversion is incredible! bonus points for the moving turret

[@JohnnyH5]

Great Batrep guys, even better that I'm starting with Mordor as my first army for MESBG.

[@KnudAutlermann]

What a close match!! This series is amazing, seeing top lvl players duke it out in cinematic glory

[@irishtom30]

I really think you've found the sweet spot for battle report formats. Keep it up!

[@LakeyWargames]

What a match!! Wow, so many epic turning points to keep you on the edge of the seat through out. Well played both players. That's what you call a battle! :D ^^

[@rosstasker8590]

A fun video of the three guys who destroyed me at the end of my day at Blitz the other month!

[@TiagoRamosVideos]

I love these Battle Reports 🙏 I was surprised with the end result 😱

[@Ajfmaizy]

Hey Jacob (or the video editor?) great job on these. One suggestion -- if you're making the effort to call it on the screen when a hero calls a heroic action, could have a might tracker that goes with it (for the army and model). Shouldn't be too much extra work to count down on it

[@smoothbrush4722]

Tough battle congrats mordor, i voted for you. Beautiful painted forces.

[@mrvinc908]

Very interesting game ! Thanks for the quality of the video

[@ConquestCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@greendragonpodcast2362]

Go David and Tyler!

[@_ccann]

Awesome game! My favorite of the season so far, no contest.

[@myownbussines6902]

The models looking great! Where are the elven infantry miniatures from?

[@LightningGentleman]

Believe they're the Davale Bloody Elves.

[@2WARDEN2]

When does Kingdom of Tor ithilas's kickstarter go live? Super stoked! And great game!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate! I need to track down the comment that suggested it! It will be going out late may. The current date that I am targeting is the 30th. I am about 80% of the way through painting it and then we have a heap of battle reports to play

[@masterballuk6780]

I love the hat consistency brilliant

[@joshcable2240]

This game was wild 🔥 very entertaining

[@joshsanders9129]

Awesome bat rep! Keep up the good work Jacob! Buying the stls for durak deep today for my son’s birthday! Also where did Tyler get that amazing mounted elendil model!?

[@SamA-gh3kq]

Oh man this was the best so far

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks mate!

[@CFDutchpros]

instead of using transfix use a blackdart at the horse, killing the horse makes them roll the thrown rider test, making them most likely fall on the ground and they will be unable to use heroics/ make strikes or use special rules such as shielding, much better than allowing them to use their will. ( first fight with gilgalad + at 20:00 with elendil vs the great beast)

[@jackhedger838]

I love the bat reps. I really enjoy the style and the quality etc. One thing though - I have to often listen to them and lower volumes, and honestly miss half the dialogue because the audio volume rangers voice to voice. I'm sure you're thinking about it - but lav mics on players would make a huge difference.

[@jajen2003]

I thought Last Alliance was gonna win. What a great battle report! Well done.

[@simonwilliamnoelmurray9179]

I have hope for the Hat Man! But I have a feeling the powerhouses of Elendil and Gil-Galad might win it out

[@simonwilliamnoelmurray9179]

Woo! Hat Man wins!

[@letouane7141]

That was amazing, like always. These orcs are gw's with conversion ? or maybe older gw's orcs? Cause i would love to get some.

[@coolguyhennan]

Great stuff! Did Elendil get the Will back when he rolled the 6 on resist? He didnt split between Fortify Spirit and resist dice.

[@LightningGentleman]

Gorgeous models. Did each player paint their own?

[@Timmie17]

So did Elendil actually not do any fighting until turn 6?

[@DoomDiveryaha]

Spoilers! Really glad the orcs won that, loving seeing slightly left field/different forces doing well on the table top

[@oldworldstudio]

Spoilers... 😢

[@elcone3]

The armies in this league are so damn beautiful 😮

[@michaelthurley1651]

So somehow 3 for 3 in my fb predictions. Though this one was very much a table decider. This really was a game of combat pieces with the great beast doing great thug duty. The army that had good tools won.

[@darchensol5112]

the trees are cool terrain. where are they from?

[@keironharvey]

There's a Sulôkil (I think that's it's name) model! I haven't played any SBG since 2011 😢

[@aidanhart9871]

Wow ... I also voted that last alliance would win ......i didn't expect gill galad to go HAM while elendil reshoed his horse in the background lol

[@carlopulcini9585]

Great battle report! Thanks really amazing. A question: why is the great beast taking multiple courage tests for suffering 3 wounds from Elendil? Doesn't the rule about the courage tests say that multiple tests from the same rule do not stack in the same turn (unless explicitly stated, like for survival instinct)? This is a long discussion I am having with my friends but I don't see any FAQs clarifying it.

[@ajcolasante]

War beasts specify one per wound taken for stampeding

[@carlopulcini9585]

@@ajcolasante well... the exact sentence is "every time...". I am not a native speaker but I reckon I could say "every time a model wants to charge a terror-causing model they must make a terror check" but that would still mean one per turn, no?

[@BlumenkohlBroccoli1]

@@carlopulcini9585 Even if it would not, Terror is a special rule and Special Rules as well as "Abilitys" can only force a single courage test per turn each. While Stampede! is just a "regular rule" and therefore probably doesn't fall under this rule that only requires a single passed courage test to then pass all of them for that turn. At least I think Stampede is not what "Ability" means.

[@lioco6124]

woohoo!

[@Jewus19]

the only way to loose gil galad here is to yolo him into the whole mordor army all by himself while elendil chills for no reason until turn 5.

[@Timmie17]

Yea very weird and extended play

[@ajcolasante]

Elendil is obviously there to make sure he can meet the great beast, otherwise it gives it far too much room to manoeuvre without anything to stop it, as well as giving up Tyler’s objectives. Additionally, the good side won a few priorities early on which meant he couldn’t react to the beast as it moved.

[@GaspardSavoureux01]

Just send Elendil to kill stuff and the beast can flee from breaking

[@scrotymcboogerballs6756]

​@@GaspardSavoureux01War beasts do not need to take courage tests for being broken, as per their rules

[@ajcolasante]

@@GaspardSavoureux01 the beast literally cannot flee via breaking as it is a war beast

[@Andaer11]

Where do we get the mounted Gil-Galad ?

[@jakobvoit9855]

18:20 correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have to chose to use the morgul blade befor knowing who wins the Fight?

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment. This one is all good, the Morgul Blade is declared before rolling to wound. Page 114 of the Armies of Lord of the Rings

[@montelugo3908]

Great battle rep ! The overcommitment of the last alliance is probably what lost the game for him, but still very nice play !

[@Timmie17]

Oh minor thing, but did the orcs take courage tests before charging Gil Galad, he has terror doesn’t he?

[@ConquestCreations]

Yes he does, David failed a few of them. Because the Mordor army outnumbered the last alliance all the warriors got +1 Courage. Often times we cut some rolls and explanations to keep the battle as concise as possible

[@motoshudenyamanato921]

Yeah my team wins!!

[@jakubsroka8123]

Do i not understand something or they are moving every mini in the game after heroic move instead of only those in 6' distance?

[@ConquestCreations]

This is being played correctly. Only models within 6" of the hero that called the heroic move are effected and they must finish within 6".

The Rivendell and Numenor models are from Davale Games if I'm not mistaken.

Gil-galad Has terror and I dont see orcs roll for courage to charge on him. Am I missed IT? Shaman whas dead in this moment so Fury didnt work.

@@ConquestCreations thanks for respond! Also, I have a question. Why Australian Team don't go on ETC? Too far? Too expensive flight?

Elendil had a rough go, didn't he? So sad . . .

[@crusty1428]

Unfortunately Elendil was not used to his full potential. He should have been in there with Gil-Galad mixing it up. His free heroic combat is insane value in any matchup.

[@jamesellis5942]

This series is simply a ted talk for the benefits of taskmasters lol

[@ConquestCreations]

Hahahahah it literally is! They are incredible

[@craig3111]

Splitting up gil galad and elendil wasn’t good. Too few troop count. Need them together

[@ConquestCreations]

The challenge was playing the scenario. If it had just been 'To the Death' then I totally agree but if Elendil hadn't held his ground the orcs could ahve easily marched up and got the objectives. Then even if the high kings killed everything it wouldn't matter

[@michaelthurley1651]

Third watching my man sounds very salty about the poll numbers.
