Easterlings Vs Isengard ~ Middle Earth SBG Battle Report 

Thanks mate, Every video I am learning so much more

Thanks for the comment. I will do this in the next battle report!

@@ConquestCreations I second this!

Thanks mate, there are heaps more battle reports on the way

Most people don't run easterlings often. They're sadly on a bit of the weaker side of the game

Thanks mate! I have a lot more videos like this to make!

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate! I appreciate the feedback

Thanks mate, I am glad you like them

Welcome aboard!

Thanks mate! I'll need to get him in the new studio

I am glad you are getting into it. This game is so much fun and the more people playing the better!

Thanks for the comment mate! We will be putting together plenty more battle reports for you!

I agree, I didn't think much of them but now i see their potential

Thanks mate! Welcome to the channel

@@ConquestCreations I have some Orcs from the Pelannor Field box, any tips on how to expand?

Much appreciated!

Interesting that you say the crossbows didn't do anything. While they didn't get any kills they completely changed Jordy's game plan. I would have loved to have gotten a few kills with them though!

Spoiler warning here mate. ❤

Thanks mate, these past few videos have had a steep quality increase

@@ConquestCreations Its a pleasure to see good content get even better =3 keep it up

Thanks for the comment. I am also a massive fan of khamul

Thanks for the comment mate! I think when we try to paint things super differently naturally some things will work and somethings wont but each time we get better at painting. My next army that I am working on is pastel Orcs I am very interested in what people will think! I'll have them on the channel soon

@@ConquestCreations Without experimentation, it's impossible to improve. And these armies are definitely well painted and worthy of being proud of, regardless of my personal aesthetics. I look forward to seeing your pastel orcs, I'll be keeping an eye out for them.

There were only about 30 easterling troops. I would start with two sets of Easterlings, and set of Kataphrakts, and Amdur. From the cavalry set you can make a drummer, banner bearer so you will have all the support pieces you need

Thank you, that's amazing i look forward to building and playing my easterling army

Hahaha they are great bits

Thanks mate!

That would be a cool idea. My uruk hai are super clean for it being corrosion

Jordy did such a good job on that model

Syrabite Green my friend!

Thanks for the comment He was flying 14, 15 in the early turns because he was affected by the Easterling war drum which allows him to move up to 17 inches. After the War drum he only moved 12

@@ConquestCreations yes, that's true. Unfortunately I think it was not possible to charge the drummer in the end. Obviously the Uruk-hai Drummer is a hero and brings points on Clash bei Moonlight. So yeah, of course Khamul wants to kill him, but if he's out of range, he is out of range! Always hard to see in video but I didn't saw any measuring the distance at all in this particular moment. Honestly Jacob, you took an unexpected beating. So yeah, this Khamul move in the end was maybe a bit over the top. The Easterlings had a blowout win anyway :) Maybe it's a cultural thing. Germans like rules and playing precisely. Especially at tournaments :D

@@CapitanCorner All of the moves were pre measured and it was within 12" Khamul did move around the side of him which may have been a bit further but either way he could get the drummer. It was a bit of a beat down by the end . At tournaments everyone plays precisely here as well for the most part! Its on my bucket list to get to Europe and play in a bunch of tournaments!

@@ConquestCreations Thank you for your answer. Alright, now I'm cool with it :) I think at tournaments, especially if the top 10 or top 3 get a lot of prices for not less money (Smaug, Forge World Stuff for example) it's important to play precisely. Furthermore in our game it's unfortunately very easy to cheat. Compare it to Magic the Gathering tournaments for example. In Tabletop cheating is always an issue: Moving to far, fake dice (yeah that's a thing), say wrong rules to get an advantage, the stuff to cheat is long. So therefore it's important to play by good example and to lead by example. I play the game for 15 years now. So yeah, I try to play really precise to inspire people to play by rules and play with good character. In Austria, Switzerland and Germany I know nearly all tournament players and gladly most play fair and with good sportmenchip :) Would be great to see you at Ardacon or any kind of tournament in Europe :)

You are correct, in this case the Easterling captain wasn't being supported. He had another Easterling in combat with him and they both shielded

You can play any army against any army. Exactly like in this video!

It's scary, Jordy owns about 100 Easterlings and has just taken the pike men. There are some 3rd part bits that you can find that make the conversions really easy though

@@ConquestCreations great vid. Any chance you could get the links for the 3rd party minis! Id love to get some additional spears!!

@@russellmoore7925 Hammerin Miniatures and Unreleased Miniatures both have pikes with hands/arms, and they seem like a pretty good fit.

Yeah I think it was a little misplay but you could say the 1 extra dice was the banner reroll just thrown right with the three he already had so it shouldn't make a difference in my opinion.

@@MTGFreak- kinda does. More dice you throw at once more chance of that 6 that guarantees the win.

@@stephenashton2999 yeah but as long as you are losing the fight with Amdur u would always go "for the 4th" die, because it is free and you can always reroll 1 die because you will always have a die that is useless with 3 dice rolled right? And because they didn't roll a 5th die, just 4 at once, there shouldn't be any difference. Does this make any sense? my English isn't the best for this conversation sorry 😅

@@MTGFreak- not really lol. No worries. Just me being picky

@@stephenashton2999 I just mean: as long as they roll 4 dice, which is the same as 3 dice + 1 reroll, it is the same result
