The fellowship of the ring have set out on their quest for mount doom destroy the one ring, the great weapon of the enemy and vaniquish the dark lord Sauron once ance for all. The task falls to Frodo, the smallest of all to bear this great burden but with him are eight companions to aid him as best they can. The fellowship cross the barren lands of Eregion and after much peril are driven to walk the long dark of Moria. A once mighty dwarven realm that has fallen into decay and it frought with danger and uncertainty. Gandalf’s hope of an easy passage is soon shattered in the chamber of MAzarbul, now the tomb of Balin son of fundin, as they find themselves assailed from all sides by wiucked goblin menace, led by two cunning chieftains and a fearsome Cave troll.

This is peak Battle Report (tm) my dudes. It has everything - story, strategic discussion, amazing terrain, painted modes and all the hobby excitement and love from the players. This is the real evolution of the 00’s White Dwarf battle reps that we knew and loved!
This is the first time I’ve had a video of this channel recommended to me, and I couldn’t be happier about it. GW’s LotR range is what really got me into the hobby, and though I rarely played games with them (by the time I figured out how to play correctly we moved to an area where the nearest independent retailer was two hours away by car, and the nearest GW store five hours, at least for the first fee years), I still have fond memories of 11-year old me painting the miniatures from the Mines of Moria box set, as well as many more to follow, until I finally started to dabble in 40k at age 15. Good times.
That's aweomse Jordi, glad you're enjoying it all mate :) It's such a fantastic miniature range and far and away the best ruleset Games Workshop have ever produced!
"Not going to be very popular, killing the hobbit." I laughed pretty hard at that! Great battle report!
He thinks he's bloody comedian now after this comment hahaha
This battle was so enjoyable that I chose to watch it over my home country's football match. seriously, thank you.
Our pleasure! Glad it was so enthralling haha!
Wow, out of all battle reps I've seen, from 40k to to AOS to Warhammer fantasy, this has been the most intense, especially since it involves the fellowship, the group I have most attachment to out of all fantasy/sci-fi media out there. Well done sir, you have yourself a new subscriber.
One of the most entertaining battle reports I've seen on the channel, very cool.
Thanks Dimanti!
What an amazing battle report again ! Great shots and such a fun game, thank you, really enjoyed. Found myself screaming Baruk Khazad each time Gimli’s axe took a goblin. Can’t wait for Amon Hen.
Campaign Killcount :
Legolas : 5 goblins (including 1 captain (and a half ?)
Gimli : 10 goblins + 1/3troll
Boromir : 12 goblins + 1/3troll
Sam : 3 goblins ( including 1 captain (or a half ?)
Aragorn : 7 goblins + 1/3troll
Gandalf : 10 goblins
47 goblins and a troll were hacked to pieces in the making of this campaign so far.
Wooooow dude that's awesome hahaha really fun to see it like that!!
Bruh, minced that troll 😮 and falling rocks 😲 was absolutely crazy 😂
KABOOOOOOM hahaha
Fantastic content Lachlan, keeping the ME:SBG alive during lockdowns!
Really immersive use of your own version of the horn of Gondor, I look forward to it's return in Amon Hen, haha.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes manyyyyy horns incoming hahaha
Good timing while I build my Moria board 👍
Perfect!
Fellowship needs REALLY good rolls to survive this scenario! It looks so difficult for them!
And better tactics Haha, I was trying to make it look a bit more interesting vutnit would have been a lot easier if I just turtled in a corner haha
Music videos getting better and better, i still remember watching your ravenclaw one back in the day which i saw is gone now. Awesome job!
The quality of your batreps never ceases to amaze me! This is awesome content
Thankyou my bro! I'm really crazy for the third one coming out in a week or so! Hopefully make it something super special!
I really liked the use of the combat noises from the film during the Goblins' movement. It really ramped up the tension.
You'll loooooove Amon Hen then hahaha
This is by a long shot the best miniatures bat report channel on CZcams, this was so much fun to watch, I counting with you when gandalf spirit bombed those goblins 😂. Thanks for the awesome content, and stay safe.
Thanks so much Shaun but this is nothing! I'm really going to try and make Amon Hen special, closer in quality to how I shoot my Star Wars and 40k batreps :)
Nice vid fella. Good to see some of these classic scenarios played out afresh!!
It is aye! I love these old classics!
this is the exact set that i got as my first set of miniatures, absolutely love that theres a video on it
Great battle repot gents. Just blown the dust off and started the project of doing the old Balins tomb display base with original fellowship figures. Subbed and looking forward to seeing what other gems are on this channel 😁👍
Welcome to the family buddy! Looooots to dive through haha
Merry, what a mad lad
Indeed haha
Just diving back into that hobby after 12 years!! Sitting in my room in westgerman cologne painting some of my last khazadguards for my old khazad force and enjoying your video so much!! Keep it up guys!
That is awesome!
Same here in Stuttgart :)))
I rarely watch battle reports all the way through but loved this! Amazing channel guys.
Thanks so much mate!
Unlucky Fellowship haha. Great video as always guys! :)
Thanks!
Goddammit gotta remember to not read comments before I finish watching vid
@@27augis That comment doesn't spoil the ending haha it's referring to some awful dice rolls!
Great battle, pretty close in the end! cracking video lachy! i love all the movie snippets you've weaved in. good job.
Cheers Nick! If you love the intercutting of this game, you'll love part three!!!!!
Great battle report. I love the roleplay and descriptions and the added footage. It's the same approach I like to take.
Love the video! This style of batreps is sooo good, awesome work
Glad you like them Archie :)
Boromir: "They have a cave troll!"
uh ohhhh
Modern and younger Boromir: "Guys, I just heard boss music!"
The format & editing of these videos are fantastic!
Keep up the great work fellas, you've got another sub!
Welcome aboard! Glad you like it :) If you enjoy this one DEFINITELY check out Amon Hen haha!
Love the enthusiasm, makes the video fun to watch!
Fantastic battle report as usual - clear with the rules and fun with the narrative, perfect combo
Oh Jill, my dear Jill. STRAP IN FOR TONIGHT'S UPLOAD
Thank goodness! Another high quality middle earth batrep:)
Enjoy!
I appreciate how you keep adding the horn blow cut scenes lol
This really makes me want to paint up my fellowship right now. Great video.
You should! They're so fun to play twith haha
Been awhile since I watched a video but wow the video quality is great, keep up the good work
Thanks so much! Yeah I've been really working at leveling up my production quality :)
9:30 😂😂😂 magnificent video once again! Really enjoyed it as always
Thanks again! :) :)
Great video! I love that you used scenes from movie in it :D
Thanks dude! Makes it a bit more immersive I reckon:)
@@Zorpazorp definitely!
Amazing editing, Lachie!
Cheers FG!
It's 1.17am and I'm still going to watch it till the end
Wow nicely done. Im gonna rewatch LoTR trilogy this week and probably paint my cave troll 😁
This is so awesome. Thanks for keeping lotr table top alive
Thanks for watching!!
This was awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So your list of solid lotr impressions now includes Gollum and the horn of Gondor
It's an exhaustive list!
Lachie, this was incredible.
Dale, thankyou!!!
Great Battle & video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
love this il be a new subscriber cant wait to watch everything
Welcome Tiernan!!!
This was an awesome battle. You guys had great energy, felt like I was in the room with you. +1 sub.
Thanks for the sub mate! Glad you enjoyed the format!
Great vid - awesome terrain and painted minis. Is there no bridge of khazad dum scenario, thought that would be next? Love your channel has inspired me to start collecting and painting LOTR minis again after 15 years 👏😁
There absolutely is mate but we're just playing a few key scenes not the whole quest campaign :)
Such an awesome battle rep! As a Moria player it was especially fun to watch. Alas, Goblin Shooting is already rough without a pesky wizard casting bright lights in their eyes...
Indeed hahaha
Great vid guys.
Love this. You and Mark are a great combo. Sad to hear the third batrep is the last one. Promise me there will be more Lachy and Marky videos in the future!
Definitely won't be the last one in the campaign dude!
@@Zorpazorp Glad to hear!
This comment made my day! Glad you enjoyed it
Hahaha i saw a meme vid of ow they have a cave toll. I really had a laugh remembering that when Mark sayd "and they have a cave troll"
hahaha he is a joker
Nice video and nice game! I really love this scenario. I notice the goblins are so powerful in this new version (cause they can surround easily and can charge the turn they arrieve) and the poor cave troll not recieved any bonus so is a minor thing where he should be the star of evil side! Personally I homerule cave troll with two things: His chain makes prone if hit and heroes cannot use might to wound him. And goblins with one: only the ones that enters for the door can charge the turn they arrieve. We played 3 games with that rules and was so fun.
Oooh some interesting suggestions dude! I like the prone chain!
Entertainingly presented, thank you.
Thanks BB!!
2020 is Lord of the RIngs! Well done @Zorpazorp 👏👏👏
Thanks!
when aragorn hit those nice three dice against the single gob, that was literally the head chop gob from the movie
I love the cutscenes....this is great stuff :)
Glad you like them! Much more coming i nthat style!
I want more of these videos they are so well done!
More coming in April!
NGL was looking forward to a 'Big Mark One' Nazgul scream each time
Thanks for this Lachie! Are you going to put these into a Quest playlist?
They should be already man, I'll go check now :)
Really nice to See all felowship in the battle 😊
Always!
Well well well. No seriously there it finally is!
Indeeeeed hahahaha
to the guy with the long hair
Jim - JUST HOW MUCH POT DID YOU SMOKE!?
None.
hell yeah! solid batrep Lachie! "Fuck I forgot about the goblins from the well" not the first time you've forgotten about the well mate hahaha ;)
Hahahahahaha I put that in there for you and Sam haha
Back for the third or fourth time watching this. Such a great batrep. Any idea when Mark will be back? Great opponent
Very veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy soon ;)
Amazing!!!
Great video, great game. What more is there to say, but man this campaign is a struggle for the ringbearer.
It really is! Haha thanks as always brother
I know this is not a new video, but anyway I'll comment on this one since I just saw it.. Even though I'm not familiar with this game at all, I still think it's exciting to follow the battle reports especially because of the amazing production, atmosphere and enthusiasm put into this.. Keep up the great work! Since you also cover other Warhammer stuff, a huge wish for me could be to take on Space Hulk with the same amount of detail and production, 'cause that IMO would be awesome to see continuous Space Hulk campaigns in a similar style as this.. But that's just my hope for potential future content.
I love Space Hulk so much and will absolutely cover it o nthe channel one day, it's suuuuuch a great game. Thank you mate!
I did this scenario with fantasy fellowship and parked Frodo and Anborn on one trap door and farmer maggot and Damrod on the other to block reinforcements, had Galadriel, leggy, Erestor, strider, and madril slowly pull back making a big U shape. My leggy one shot the troll once it arrived luckily and I took one wound the entire fight. Definitely thanks to dice rolls but I found eliminating the trap doors very helpful
Going to try and shoot our own Balin’s tomb rep soon and watching this again for inspiration! 😂 An absolute classic. Gotta love those 1 rolls - Boone
Man they were savagggggge haha
Love the video! By the way, are you still doing the map based battle companies? I've seen some of those and they're great.
That one is all finished, all seventeen episodes are in a playlist on the channel page mate :D
I an older version of the mission, the respawns couldn't happen ist the Fellowship blocked the trap doors and there were no Goblin Captains involved.
How do I miss these love it
Duuuude wait till you see the next one!!!
I think the scenario would be more fun if it wouldnt respawn the fallen goblins but instead spawned a fixed amount of goblins per turn or if you rolled dice to determine how many will arrive. Of course that only works if you have enough goblin models
I like that idea!! Very cool!
Fantastic stuff
Thanks mate!
Love your LoTR battle reports! It would be amazing if you did a full Quest of the Ringbearer campaign series. Also a fantasy fellowship would be pretty cool
Lol i skipped the last part of the video... but a fantasy fellowship would still be great
That's the plan! :) Eventually!
Great report.
Thanks bro!
Great battle!! Those nasty gobbos managed to put a lot of damage on the fellowship. Which shows that Mark means business!! Gandalf was surely the MVP, blowing up 8 goblins is phenomenal!! Just realized that I totally messed up the viewing order of the quest of the ringbearer. Fantastic editing as usual!!
Yes I should have remembered to cast terrifying aura! Would have kept him alive!
@@Zorpazorp It happens to me quite a lot with Saruman tbh. Blinding light and terrifying aura can be stacked? If that is possible that would mean that Gandalf would cause terror and would be invisible to shooting.
@@miguelcorreia1149 Yes they can! A powerful combo!
@@Zorpazorp The one attack is the such a big drawback. It's impossible for Gandalf to kill the Balrog in SBG. Maybe they could bump his price for more 30 points and give him a second attack. Low defense, low fate and one attack makes him a bit expensive point wise. He is a Maiar!!
@@miguelcorreia1149 yeah I'd love to see an ability allowing to strike against monsters for free or something
55:40 You forgot to do courage test with Boromir while attacking the Troll :D
Naughty!!!!
Gandalf was definitely play of the game
Absolutely!
Hey dude great content love the channel did you do a build video for barlins tomb I’d like to have a go at my first lotr build and was hoping you would have a video for it ?
It was done on a livestream mate check out the live videos tab oir the playlist :)
@@Zorpazorp thank you mate I’ll check it out
You should do the first quests before Amon Sul (Weathertop) too :D
Maybe one day! They're cool scenarios!
That was great what a fight
It was a good game!!
Man what music did you use in the first 15+ minutes of the video? Its driving me crazy, i know its from a game I've played and loved immensely but I cant place it. First I thought maybe Total War Warhammer or Imperial Glory but no.... Its not from any LotR right? Agh its killing me! Had to re-watch the first half because I was so focused on the music XD loved the video man, you always make them super fun to watch!
It's just open source music from Kevin McLoud, his deets are in the descy, used in a few games I think :)
23:33 Dude, Sam couldn't go so far to trap that goblin because of other goblins' control zones... You powergamers :P
I am loving the video, I never got into MEBSG not sure why, especially since I love the lore. I was stuck on WHFB until they killed it. Then I just moved around systems and avoided GW, you have convinced me. Where do you get those cool swords for measuring though?
It's a hilarious mental picture imagining Boromir CONSTANTLY blowing the Horn of Gondor inside the tomb.
"We get it, now can you PLEASE stop with the horn and help us kill these goblins? We're all within 20 yards of each other." - Aragorn, probably
Hahahahahahahahah indeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Do you have a painting tutorial on The Breaking of the Fellowship models? This is something I want to get painted asap
Amazing battle report.
Where can I get this Narsil range stick?
Great video!
I'm pretty new to miniatures, so I was wondering, is it possible to go across multiple universes? For example Star Wars vs. Lord of the Rings?
Yes, absolutely but you'd have to make your own rules as they are different rulesets :)
i'm hooked :D
Yay!
I really love these battles. But I have to ask. Where did you get those dices and the little sword-rulers ??? They are awesome.
They were all limited run items from Games Wrokshop unfortunately :(
@@Zorpazorp Nooooooooooooooooo !!!
Thanks for your answer and once again super videos !!!
You should put "Quest of the Ringbearer" in the title, I almost passed this video over!!
It's in the tags, I leaving it out wont miss many viewers but having it more broad might hook a few more I think.
@@Zorpazorp I mean I am glad I did click on it, a fantastic battle which did not disappoint!
Great video lachy. I have a question, im hearing that thorin dwarlin and balin can lead erebor warriors and grim hammers can you just confirm this please
Yes using the Army of Thror army list I'm pretty sure.
The dice can be so cruel!
They really can haha
Aragorn, Boromir, and Gimli are still a pretty tanky group to get Frodo out, though
Just jumping into the hobby now (for the first time in 15 years). Looking at making a Balin's Tomb set for my first gameboard. Love the look of this one! Do you have any tips for building a similar board?
I actually built this one live on stream! On my channel page under live videos theres one called Balins tomb :)
@@Zorpazorp Oh awesome! Thanks heaps! Great video btw.
it would be intresting to see a battle between orcs uruk hai and goblins
It sure would!
Turn two that Evil won Priority Good was choosing the combat order (after heroics). Evil could have chosen the combat against Gimli first and had him trapped. Fun video.
Epic miss @ 1:11 not including Boromir's "They have a cave troll...." ;)
Sad to see legolas go down so easy. I wonder if he would have been better at distance using his bow.
Love the videos im getting back into MeSB this year. Are their many tournaments for it?
Heaps :)
