34:31 On one hand, I’m loving that they are more mindful about handing out banner effects. On the other, it’s like GIVE US THE BANNER YOU COWARDS! Haha. Wolf Pack Leader and Buhrdur, 6” Banner in their Legions. Hoping the new edition finds a balance for banners, consolidates all banner rules to be the same (counts as, treated as, is a banner, etc.). Because if not, we’ll continue to see those models taken all the time (DE LL, Sully, Boromir, Bard, etc.)
You shit on Arathorn's Stand too much. I think it's great in smaller games. If you wanted to go for only dunedains, swapping 3 rangers for Arathorn is well worth it for maelstorm deployment, mountain dweller and around 3 extra might. I would take a banner only over 500 points.
Random Rs take on LL is really weird. LLs should be better the open options of an army list since there are no options to ally. Example; not having a warhorn in the army of arnor is really a hit. Once you break everything out of arvedui is a byebye plus there are no ways to fit lots of cheap hobbits into the list.
Ive podiumed with Host of the Witch-King, run as many Spectres as you can. At 750, i would run 5-8 Spectres. You dont need a Barrow-Wight, they combo better with Gully than in this LL. Ive played this LL about 15x in tournament and practice games.

TO ruled his -1 courage stacks with Harbinger as it isn't an Aura, it affects one singular model, so the -2 courage on a targeted hero was too good to pass up. The Shadow comfortably kills troops and is an absolute menace. After the WK, you take the Shadow. I don't feel you need March as Compels and Fell Lights can move my opponents army around
Host of the Witch King is really toxic. I’ve played against it 5 times now and it’s just not fun. Your heroes run out of Will really quickly because they’re resisting consistent spells on turn 1. Then they’re taking courage tests at -1 every turn because of the huge Terror bubble and Harbinger. The list basically locks down your heroes and grinds down your warriors. Even if you take Fearless warriors they just get ground down by the orc spam. You can beat it by taking a specific counter-build, but that’s not fun for either player.
