Siege of Minas Tirith! ~ MEGA Battle Report! ~ Middle Earth SBG

[@johnmanganaro3109]

This is the kind of terrain I dreamed about as a kid

[@Dryan91]

Having played on it twice now, it's so good! Highly recommend getting the stls.

[@RogersGirl88]

Ive always loved the idea of tabletop wargames, but i have no friends to play with and have no money to buy the minis. So i always just bought the rulebooks anr spent years looking at them and stuff when i was younger. If i won the lotto i would spend a million dollars on an entire room filled with LotR, WH40K, and Bolt Action tables, armies, and terrain.

[@desertmammoth3159]

And all of them would be unpainted piles of shame once you realize you need to spend 1/4 of your life learning how to apply base coats.

[@oscarsiri2763]

I could advice paper minis on plastic colored counters. And if you play solo, just use this simple tactic, all evil side models just run and attack the nearest enemy with ranged weapon if they can or melee. Spells and might points could be spent for maximum damage to heroes (like black dart of the nazgul, no problem if they dissapear because they don't die that way) and weak spells (like Drain courage) to troops. To compensate the lack of strategy of the evil side, just add 50% points of the total of points to the evil side troops. The game lasts hour and hours, you win if you survive or make them flee. You can lose easily!

@@desertmammoth3159 If you have enough money you can simply pay for the paint jobs.

[@hexesandsoldiers6032]

Use the blocks that’s come in commands and colors games

[@WhatswithWatt]

You don't necessarily need the actual models to play. And you can play solo games. If you have chess pieces for example could use them, or bottle tops for example. As someone else mentioned, print outs on top of stands whether again that's bottle caps, cardboard, something else, that will do. You've invested in the books, so why not aye

Another fantastic video, more beautiful terrain, and that was hands down the only time I've seen Gandalf the White be worth his points

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment! returning his might for killing heroes helped a lot! This was the first time I have ever seen him preform the same as he did in the movie

[@TylerStein-p4i]

@ConquestCreations Hopefully GW takes note for their next FAQ!

[@jakemaclaine]

That’s the most ridiculous fun I’ve seen on CC yet!

[@oscarsiri2763]

Incredible battle! Gandalf killed a fell beast and dropped the Witch king! poor trolls. The funniest part is the man who runs to the trebuchet risking all odds, a heroic act, manges to fire.... and nothing. If I had to bet for the outcome at the beginning, I would have said the evil side because the nazgul, the the trolls, siege towers and how the good side looked cramped in there, what a great turn of events.

[@5p3cu10]

Great video! Have you guys ever thought to use the War of the Ring Rule set? It's the "mass Battle" version of the rules and would suit these massive games very well

[@sebastienhoyas9994]

Super cool! And the quality of the painting is amazing! Love these Minas Tirith warriors!

[@harazhangf5782]

That battle report was quite cool. And that terrain is crazy, went to check on your website and I think I'll get some of your dwarven terrain.

[@andreagiuliana2186]

Your scenarios take the bar and bring up every time! From Saxonia to this, amazing!

Thanks for the comment mate! We are having a lot of fun putting everything together. Hopefully the next one is even better

[@danielwielki3490]

with all these figures the battlefield looks amazing, I hope that the better one will win, the one who rolls the dice better , thx for report 👊👍

[@kevinco7226]

nice report! i think you guys really nailed the scale. The board isnt too big where it's easy to get lost, but it's big enough to feel epic

[@Caesar_221]

Your terrain designs have all been fantastic!! I'm seriously looking forward to your Elf themed buildings if you decide to go that direction. Keep it up Jacob! As an entrepreneur myself, I know this has been a ton of work behind the scenes to pull off and you're on the upward trajectory since going into this full time!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment mate! something Elven may or may not be on the cards next ;)

brilliant content as always. I look forward to your video on how you painted up the terrain. and the guy who let you borrow his Gondor army should be super proud... that probably the most beautiful Minas Tirith Army I have ever seen painted.

Absolutely stunning paint job on the Gondorian forces, which match perfectly with the new Kingdom of Tor Ithilas 👏 I'm definitely buying this new set too and add it to my collection with the other 3 Kingdoms that you've made (Saxonia, Durak Deep and Azragor) 👌 I think I will start to print the ruined buildings and make a city like Osgiliath 😀 congratulations Jacob and thank you for your awesome work 🙏 EDIT: I have just one question, could you please share the STL for the floor of the scenario in the Kickstarter campaign, please? 😊

[@alzyformica3436]

“Guard or the citadel indeed!” Pippin adds +1 to wound on two handed weapons (to recreate the moment in the movies)

[@Competentetyler]

Ingold, Knight of the White Tower and Hûrin (The Strike Bros) and we didn’t see one Heroic call against the Trolls?! I wanted to see those intense strike up rolls!

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment. Heroics need to be declared at the start of the combat phase and since the gate was hit in the combat phase the heroes would have needed to declare his heroic before he was in combat. In that case the trolls simply would have avoided them.

[@Competentetyler]

@@ConquestCreations Gotcha! Watching it live, the phases got confusing at that part, as the Trolls then move in the Fight Phase, correct?

[@MoonyPoet]

Those Trebs and Bolt Throwers did so much damage. I guess this proves that warmachines aren't crap 🤣😂

[@simonjernsletten5207]

The elevated position on the bolt throwers really helped. Never seen them get off that many shots ever in any other game.

[@garethholmes9001]

[@baldiesbattlesinminiature5902]

Love it, great report. I agree some of the jokes were very cheesy.

[@Jewus19]

No strike or defence on poor ingold vs the Troll? Also: Gentleman s agreement not to cast banishment or staff is broken on each others commanders? 😄

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the comment. Heroics need to be declared at the start of the combat phase and since the gate was hit in the combat phase Ingold would have needed to declare his heroic before he was in combat. In that case the trolls simply would have avoided him. Because Gandalf had Fortify spirit I didn't try to go for his staff and I think that Daley was to excited about blasting models off the walls to worry about banishment!

[@noahthevibegod9997]

Do you know what paints you used for those warriors of Mina’s tirith or even willing to do a tutorial , they look AMAZING and wanna know what you used

[@HolyMith]

Imagine a horde of orcs overruning your fair city, only to see them jumping on your siege equipment with no idea how to use it, and wandering around aimlessly between your market stalls. The only response is to leap from the walls in rage and possibly die in order to take some of them down.

Can definitely be used for any miniatures game at a simmilar scale.

[@Dryan91]

Yeah works great for sigmar or other historical/fantasy gaming!

[@kangaroo8858]

It kinda feels pointless shooting into buildings if attacking player doesnt get any bonus from it, maybe WK could get will/might back fromm it, or gondorias -1 courage for each destroyed building while witedalf could get something of mighty hero rule, when he gets some additional bonuses when the game advances, maybe after 5 kills, he could get a fearless bubble and after 10 counting as a banner?

[@noahwerstler1219]

Well it kills the troops that were inside them

[@craig3111]

And helps advertise the buildings!

[@craig3111]

And helps advertise the building

[@ConquestCreations]

The buildings all had archers in them and it allowed me to kill guys inside the city without risking scattering onto my own troops, the main goal was to show off the terrain though

[@andrewlopezmp3]

Great stuff so far. I do feel like it’s a bit of a missed opportunity to not play up the drama. E.g SPOILER when the witch king was killed we should have seen that roll.

[@ConquestCreations]

Thanks for the feedback, I do agree, however when filming a game that takes over 6 hours to play there are a lot of dice rolls that don't amount to anything exciting so occasionally one is missed

[@andrewlopezmp3]

@@ConquestCreations of course :) I just think with narrative battles it’s more engaging if we really follow the feats of the heroes throughout the game. You certainly did with Gandalf!

[@lukestedman9913]

I’m curious if anyone knows roughly how much it would cost in filament to print some of the stls.

[@xproctor1793]

How did the siege bow not get to know the witch-king flying?

[@Dryan91]

Piercing shots only knock models that are strength 5 or lower prone/flying, and the fell beast is strength 6.

[@zaleth]

This is just awsome!

[@firemoderncombat]

Really, really cool...!

[@pc1491]

How many rolls of filament did this terrain take?

[@ConquestCreations]

I reckon the full set of 100% everything printed is 10-15kg of PLA.

[@ConquestCreations]

Everything was printed at 0.2 layer height with an infil of 5%

[@pc1491]

​@ConquestCreations cool. Guess the walls were the biggest sap of filament? At the moment only looking at buildings any way so hopefully jump on this.

[@ConquestCreations]

@@pc1491 The walls take a lot the buildings are totally dependent on which one. The small ones are 250 grams while the larger ones are around 600 grams

[@soerenkepler]

Nice batrep but why on earth would the defenders leave space for all trolls to move through the gate, when they could have simply blocked it, thereby allowing only 1 troll to fight…. ?

[@ConquestCreations]

It's a good question! We were emulating the film where they left the space for trolls, leave it up to incompetent command

I’d have spent the first round or two swapping out the troops on the wall with the fountain court guard. Their higher fight is better use against the orcs on the wall than wasted fighting the trolls

[@craig3111]

Always felt those Mordor trolls having only 3 attacks and 3 wounds is pretty harsh. Perhaps 4 and 4 would be better

[@alihannicholls31]

Three attacks is really not reliable to win fights. They botch quite often. They need the banner support, ideally. It also hurts because you can’t spear support them. I think three dice to wound can also be a little bit underwhelming at times. I think they’re the right choice for this Bat Rep 100% but you don’t see them used competitively because of this. They could either do as you suggest or drop the points cost a bit to make them more tempting.

[@craig3111]

I’d have had all those archers and bolt throwers take out the witchking

[@dominicmoffitt5733]

Also dude the Gandalf rule - come on Ruined the game basically handed good the victory

[@ConquestCreations]

If you think that adding thematic rules ruins a game I think you fundamentally missed what we were going for here. This was not a competitive match. We were having fun recreating a scene from our favorite movie. The three of us together have probably played over 100 tournaments, we all know the rules. This is an opportunity to chill and make cool stuff happen.

[@dominicmoffitt5733]

Bit frustrating watching this - missing out key rules means Mordor we’re screwed over - trolls cause terror you’re telling all those good models passed and charged?? Come on Also dude use the witch king properly he’s a spell caster you used zero magic in that entire game

[@denaxil9012]

The video was a lot of fun. But please, please stop giving the good guys plot armour. The roll-off in case of a fight tie is 1-3 evil. Not 1-2. Some of us actually want the evil side to have a fair fight. Some of us actually want to see the evil side win. Some fluff rules here and there is fine. But it almost always seems like the good side has a clear advantage.
