Bringing you Batreps from the glorious shores of Northern Ireland and beyond! We look to bring all the action from the Black gate to Tatooine, and everything inbetween.
I do wish I could have had the time to finish painting my Corsairs of Umbar and find a teammate to play. Other events prevented me though. Hopefully I'll be able to come to the next big singles tournament (probably in the new year though).
Brilliant paint jobs! Im pretty new to mesbg and after playing horde armies in 40k i wanted something with only a few models for this game system. I know the treebeard and quick beam models are official but I don't recognise the other 3 and I really like the models! Are they a kitbash/3rd party? Or am I mistaken?
Hey buddy! Thank so much for the comment. MESBG really is a great game. Alot of us play 40k/aos and other systems and I have to say it is the best made. As an ork player.....I feel your pain haha mesbg is great in taht alot of small armies are very competitive. Maybe also check out the vanquishers LL. The other ents are prints that were done by a friend of mine and channel regular Nicky! So I'm sure you can find the files online. They are by far my favourite ents. Especially the beechbone model as he looks almost like a demigorgon
One thing you guys could do is a tournament debrief type video where you guys discuss what you guys thought of how it went, whether there were any stand out moments you noticed while showing off any pictures taken of all the painted armies or gameplay. Just a thought.
Love this Idea! I think il put this in motion for the next event. I always try to do a vlog when I can. But life had limited these opportunities as of late. But this could be a nice gap fill for when this isnt possible
Well, one thing is for certain. I don't think my Khand are going to do particularly well, considering the strength of a lot of these lists. I'll be pleased with at least one win, but I know I'll have fun. If I ever get to another event (not looking very likely) I'm thinking I'll do a Corsairs of Umbar army next. I like playing the least popular armies, even if it means I'll always lose. And the army only has 12 3d printed minis (10 of which were absolutely necessary and 2 which I needed as the order didn't arrive in time). The rest are plastic and resin from Fireforge Games.
Best way to be! I can tell you that everyone there will be incredibly hyped to see this army on the table. Definitely up there as one of my favourites. We never see khand and its class you've brought some variety to the pile! Been looking at corsairs myself. Who doesn't love some pirates right?
@@wookiesofmirkwood7780 Well, I certainly like the aesthetic, and there are a decent amount of units to play about with. The Knight of Umbar on Armoured Fellbeast at the head of Black Numenorians, but the best image I have in my head is having a Bo'sun behind a group of Reavers with Bowmen in the second rank forcing them forwards. Ultimately I just seem to be a glutton for niche armies.
@@wookiesofmirkwood7780 Thank you. It was a great weekend and I'm happy with how I did. I don't know when the next event is, or whether I'll be able to go to it (baby on the way) but I'll definitely be wanting to come back.
Oh, and to confirm to everyone in the video. I used the Masters of Fate mechanic a sum total of once, in the last turn of the last game in the hopes of putting a wound on the King of the Dead to break the tie. Aside from that, the mechanic did not exist in my reality.
Thanks very much for pointing this out! Always seem to miss something when the cameras rolling lol Going to have to watch this one back myself. Once you become broken this only kicks in the next turn. So effectively you always have to take the one turn of courage tests to see who runs away then roll from the end of that turn onwards (we got this wrong alot in the beginning). From memory I cant remember if this is how we played it in this video. We got a lot of stuff wrong back in the day lol thankfully we've learned alot more over the last while by having the pleasure of playing some of the great guys people in the IHL/GBHL. Hopefully our future batreps will be more up to speed.
Hi Sonn! These have slowed down due to a lack of players in our area unfortunately. I am playing a game of legion next week hopefully. So il try get that one recorded and thrown up if I can
Some very misguided confidence in my ability from Dave there... I'll gladly try and prove him right this weekend but at the very minimum I'll be partaking in Guiness and bantz!
It'll be great to have you over as always! I think it's hard to call who will top the pack this weekend. There will be lots of Guiness and bantz either way so fun times ahead I'm sure!
@@wookiesofmirkwood7780 tbh I chose my 2024 army by picking the lowest ranked faction on longshanks that I don't already own - I didn't realise folk hated it so much. Also, the need to keep it small as we're flying in from England so didn't want a suitcase full of minis, and no space for pants.
@@timelwess7787 this is such a brilliant way to pick an army! Ahh we don't hate it that much, its just an easy target for a rant haha. I'm guilty to have played it myself 😂 I'm sure the banter will still be mighty!
I'll take being named as a grey horse. First time anyone's said that about me. And it's a lovely lore-accurate observation: "And last and proudest, Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth, kinsman of the Lord, with gilded banners bearing his token of the Ship and the Silver Swan, and a company of knighs in full harness riding grey horses; and behind them seven hundreds of men at arms, tall as lords, grey-eyed, dark haired, singing as they came."
Love these types of videos! Might be a good idea to get a headset with a better mic for both of you. Beyond that, great stuff! Would love to see a recap of how these lists did.
I think when Turiel called the move and couldn’t see the beast to charge was wrong. The elves moved away from her. She needed to move first and then they have to end with 6” of the model that called the move? I might be mistaken
@6:00 drummer drums, that's means he can't charge, also it seems a bit like you use the knowledge of where the warband is turning up at a maelstrom 4 to determine what the drummer does, it probably didn't have a huge impact but it's cheating😅. I usually find that if I accidentally do something too early (roll maelstrom deployment before all movement in this case) I usually suggest to my opponent "this is what i would have done if i didn't know, does that make sense to you?
You're just right! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with scouts back then but I have learned quite alot since that fateful day of defeat against my counterpart. Much the same with the maelstrom deployment rules. This battle was meant to be a bit of a laugh where we both ignored the right decisions entirely but it worked out 🤣 thank so much for the comment it's always appreciated🤘
Completely accidentally gap and a well deserved victory to you my man ahaha fuckin treebeard like 😆 Was bored man so I though fuck it il just blast this out
