Orcs Vs Elves ~ Middle Earth Battle Report 

"Alex, what did you do in a past life to deserve such dismal failure?" - Quote of the match. The delivery - so sincere, so concerned. Poor Alex.

I love the terrain, the gameplay, and how receptive you are of viewer feedback! If you are open to accepting more, I wonder if it may be helpful to have your interviews with slightly brighter lighting? We'd love to see you and your guests a bit more clearly!

Insane battle report! That new terrain looks stunning btw, looks like the perfect terrain for many sorts of scenarios !

Hey Jacob! Your battle reports are the best I’ve seen on RU-vid - you do a great job of narrating the action, moving the video along where necessary, and then showing more detail for the big, important moments. A couple minor suggestions from my film production education: the lighting on the intro and outdo scenes where you and your opponent are introducing the video or debriefing are perhaps a bit dark. Some additional fill lighting would be nice (though I can see some people liking the dark “in a dungeon in Moria” aesthetic). Since you had a “dark side” of the board this time, another suggestion for you: get a very bright fill light and turn it on the ceiling. It will bounce evenly off the ceiling a provide a good, even fill light. Then add key lights from the front if you want to brighten the areas where the action is taking place. Make sure your keys aren’t so much brighter than your fill that the fill exposes as super dark. All of this is just in the spirit of being helpful, so hopefully I haven’t given offense. I love your videos and would keep watching even if you changed nothing.

massive production quality upgrade lately, great content as always, congrats

Amazing work with these new battle reports. Could you get the Green Dragon guys over to record competitive games? I want Kylie playing her Easterlings on screen!

13:31 That Elf was Elrond's top guy. If Elrond tells you that you're his top guy - you are his top guy. He was like: "Woah... Lord Elrond needs me?..." "Okay... I'll do it". "I'm going to bat for you Elrond." "I got your back Elrond." P.S. Ackshually Erestor is his top guy. He's such a beast (for his points/tier). P.P.S. Luv lore/theme appropriate battles like this one as opposed to stuff like Hobbits with Tom Bombadil wreaking havoc on Minas Tirith. "Alternate History" can be entertaining but some matchups can get just too silly to enjoy playing/watching (I dislike MESBG tourneys with unrestricted matchups because of this). P.P.P.S. Those blue gemstones on the High Elven shields look great! P.P.P.P.S. That was a great game! You're quite good at explaining/commenting on the flow of the game and I appreciate your camera work & editing skillz.

Incredible workmanship. It's great that there is a channel like yours on RU-vid! I'm glad you can develop. Keep it up :)

Lovely painted armies and nice battle report

The production value of these new battle reports is so good. Love watching them!

Hi Jake, the channel revamp is awesome. Everything is greater - terrain, batreps, editing etc. Great work mate. Keep it up!! A loyal follower.

The new terrain looks fantastic! Great work as always!

love the new camera work, please keep it up. I recently started playing myself and I enjoy your videos a lot

Nice stuff! Perfect length for a BR, props👍🏻

This is fantastic I’ve loved your channel from the start But wow the quality just keeps going up and up Well done Jacob And thanks for the content

Yessss. The new building looks ace. Great report!

Fantastic stuff!

Great 👏 Im very much looking forward to the new Kickstarter project 👌

Loving the new scenery and love that witch king! Great work

Another great vid hot off the press! 😎 keep up the good work 😍

Always improving great job

Great game, awesome content guys

Those elves are painted beautifully! Very very cool

Awesome stuff😊

Good batrep. The lucky elf burning Fate off the Witch King was epic. Reminds me of the time when my rohan royal guard took out the witch king with a throwing spear. Battles of Erebor is a good choice. You have amazing terrain for that and the scenarios seem interesting.

Classic elf shooting, need some riv dice mate.

New terrain looks great and the studio upgrades are killer.

A massive improvement on the quality of the video. Awesome batrep.

Ooooft that was close. Class rep man

I really enjoy your battle reps. My one bit of constructive feedback is to add a graphic banner to the side of the video showing each army and how many models and points they have. That way the viewer can know how many units both sides start with and whose winning the attrition battle. Have seen it used on some other battle rep channels and i think it would make your videos that much better

Another cracking bat rep! Great to hear better sound is on the way (as a massive audio nerd I love to hear quality sound if possible!)

15:39 With having lost priority and the Elves already finishing their move, I would have LOVED to see Alex charge the Witch King into the Troll Chieftain’s combat. A Heroic Combat would have really opened things up for a Charge on the Elrond and/or Banner.

So stokes for the feedback and games. Your armies are so pretty as always, without mentionning the boards. Im buying a 3D printer at boxing day, i will definitely buy your STL files. Keep it up guys

Would love to see the battle at the black gate!

yo Jacob! feel free to use Gor Zathul in any future projects, take it its yours man. im happy just have made the finals. terrain looks great btw

On 5.22 u said that u dont want to resist the black dart, which was casted on ur horse, but u cannont resist black dasrts/fireballs casted on ur mt's. U can do this only with shadowfax or when u have f.spirit casted upon u ;)

luv it!

Wonderful battle report and the scenery is amazing. Can you do also Elfish city scenery as well as Human city one (like Minas Tirith or Osgiliath)?

The loss of those Knights was truly painful.

Amazing battle report, as usual. My only critique is the lighting when you're doing the player's intros. Otherwise, love all the new changes you've made and new terrain.

Best reports on RU-vid 🎉

Nice report 🤗 Can we have the color scheme for the Rivendell knights??? The green and gold looks wild 🙃

With all these wonderful new battle reports in the new conquest studio, does this mean we'll be getting conquest champions league season 3?

I can't remember the last game I watched/played where Elrond's horse survived 😂 Great video though!

Nice Elf paint job. If the Troll had Hurled after his heroic combat, I wonder if it would have made any difference, probably not, but that's what I would have probably done. Nice terrain Jacob, when will you have all the sculpts and the Kickstarter live? Thanks

Show us more Dwarves on your Dwarven terrain!

Jacob played well as always but I can’t help but feel that Alex’s choices became kind of irrelevant due to bad luck 😂😢

Will we ever see the conclusion of the Conquest Creations Champions League Season 2? Or did I miss it? Great video production on this tho, very well done and enjoyable to watch.

It’s great to see Rivendell that isn’t riv knights!

great bat rep.

New terrain looks insane. Any plans to make some Elven scenery on the horizon? 🙄

Do you think you could do a Pellenor fields battle report as you never see gondor stuff out there

25:15 that was... something

GOONERS pog

Elrond couldnt have resisted the black dart anyways in the beginning as it targeted the horse. Just curious why it was presented as a deliberate choice. Really nice bat rep as usual though!

Where did you get those Orcs?

Why didn't he Rend elrond in the last combat?

Suggestion for the channel: I think the lightning is to dark. The intro and when you talk about new things and stuff but also the battle report. Pls bring some natural light again 🌞

Great rep and happy to see the heroes sway the game so much!
