Finally someone covering this topic 👏🏻

on the subject of elites in objectives, i just want to mention something that wasn't really touched on. you dont always need higher numbers or to kill all the enemy near an objective, you just need to move them away. stuff with spellcasters or monsters can really swing numbers. i play a really small barad dur army, and sauron has saved my butt repeatedly in stuff like capture or hold ground. casting instils fear, then barging then killing can pretty much clear out an objective zone, even a 6" one. only a couple kills, but time it right and you can grab a win right out of the heart of the enemy army. cheeky compels to pull models off objectives before they count as holding them or tranfixes to stop them getting there. hurls to slow advances etc. interference and shenanigans, rather than a straight up brawl on the point.

That’s a great shoutout. As big fans of using tricks and shenanigans, we definitely agree that they can come in clutch and win you the game!

I love contest with a caster leader! I love it when I kill 7 warriors of minas tirith with a ringwraith on horse! (Often my leader. I'm a low points enjoyer.) I actually quite like a caster leader in contest, because it is very easy to shut your opponent down and just win because you kill their leader

Hawt dam. Great video guys!

Just a rules thing: in the video it seems like Ian is making the point that you need to be careful in maelstrom because you can be compelled into combat on turn 1. As per the faq, this is not the case.

[@intothewestpodcast]

We totally missed that! Thanks for bring this to our attention. Will let Ian know!
