Dwarves Vs Mordor ~ Middle Earth SBG Battle Report 

update needed

I remember those magazines too - they were great!

Thanks for the comment! Its always more fun to cheer for the underdog and a turn or two more and they would have had the comeback!

i really dont understand, why Dwarves are underdogs for everyone. I play them with quite good results in our local group and my friend regularly wins a lot of games on tournaments with Dwarves. Their only downside is their lower mobility. But as there is no turn limit in this game, it doesnt matter so much.

Thanks for the comment mate! We should have plenty more on the way!

Thanks mate! These nerdy games are the best! There are heaps more on the way!

dwarves fight uphill for sure, power level wise. They suffer HARD from speed, numbers and cheaply available magic.

Really wierd batrep to watch cause i run a almost identical Khazad dum list in tourneys and never do this badly lol They didn't mention it in the batrep but Durin has terror and can once per game reroll a priority roll. Not resisting that transfix on Durin lost the Khazad dum player the game i think espically considering Durin never used any of his will.

Thanks for the comments, not resisting the transfix was a tough one. Ultimately I totally understand the decision. During wasn't at any threat and all it would do is slow him down. Assuming that the Witch King would be alive for several more turns there could be times where Durin could be threatened and it would be much more important to have the Will. After seeing the Witch King go down the will no longer matters but at the time he didn't know that would happen

Thanks for the comment. We have almost released the next wave of files so hopefully you see them popping up all around the world

You are totally correct, that is what we did, for the next turn Dalamyr tested and passed

@@ConquestCreations sorry, I thought you didn't roll the dices

Thanks for the comment. They are a great start to both armies. For Mordor I would start with the Mordor Command pack. This gives you some important units that will be helpful. After that I would add in whatever evil stuff looks the coolest to you. I would go for some Morgul Knights or a Great Beast of Gorgoroth. For the Gondor side you have a lot of options. The main thing is that the army in the box has a lot of archers so you don't need to add any more. I would go for some knights of Minas Tirith and some of the elite troops such as Guards of the Fountain court. Then I would choose either Aragorn, King Ellesar or Borromir, Captian of the white tower to be your army leader. You can also never go wrong with more warriors of Minas Tirith

Thanks for the insight! That is mostly what I had in mind, something with speed, something with a punch. Hadn't considered the Mordor Command pack, will have to check that out

Thanks for the comment! They certainly are. I have about a dozen of them and am missing several axe heads

Laughs in Uruk pikes...

There is more on the way! Next up should be Easterlings vs Mordor

@@ConquestCreations 😎

There’s a first time for everything 😂

Thanks for the comment! I am a big fan of my Corsairs, they have taken ages to paint up hahaha. He did we just didn't catch all the dice rolls in the move face. There wasn't a time where they did anything significant

@@ConquestCreations Thanks!

I dont understand what he was thinking. maybe he thought hes dead no matter what.

@@xproctor1793 or he thought that shielding is an active special rule or something🤷

I don't think you can make a special strike if you are transfixed

Can't shield when transfixed/immobilised!

Thanks for the comment, as others have said, you can't shield when transfixed

All of these miniatures are from Warhammer (www.warhammer.com/home). To find pre-painted miniatures the second hand market is huge and you can look in Facebook buy/sell/swap pages

Thanks for the comment, because the shield bearer was compelled he could not shield

@@ConquestCreations Aah I see! Thanks for letting me know! I love your videos!

@@ConquestCreations ....you cant shield when compelled!?!?! you learn something new everyday.

I have an upcoming battle report that had a troll and a troll chieftain. I think the troll chieftain is a really strong unit and is much better than the regular troll. That being said a regular troll with a drum can improve the speed of the whole army even if you have a mix of Black Numnorians, mordor uruk hai, and warg riders. If you are playing magic heavy Mordor the troll can also be really powerful. If you take away heroes heroic strikes with transfix then the fight 7 can be invaluable

@@ConquestCreations Ah drums! Yes I was thinking trolls basically need to be part of a combo, to make sure they get to wound. Either a small hero (or chieftain might), magic user or bat swarm. Love the model so I look forward to seeing what happens in the BR! Thanks.

or he should not have that at all for being a decent bit less pricey.

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to this, the 6 is so hard to get off and I want him to be a true tank

They are a relatively popular faction and have performed really well in tournaments. They have super low defence but a lot of hitting power and technical pieces

@@ConquestCreations I might start using corsairs, I like throwing weapons.
