    the thumbnail is what hooked me the content is what kept me, excellent video as always guys, been having fun with the hunters lately hit hard die easy.

    Used to play Azog's Legion a lot and it's really fun, so I'm glad to see it at the 2nd spot! Big shame that lots of the toys in the list aren't the most competitive options, but they're fantastic models that are definitely some of my favourites in the range!

    Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb!
    But in seriousness, there's more fun models to paint in the evil range if you like exotic stuff. Trolls, wargs, spiders, ghosts, dragons, giant elephants, etc. Good can't compare!

    I personally like Azog's Hunters! It hits hard, makes for quick games (a nice way of saying that it dies easy), it has some fun alliances, and its heroes are all quite good for the points they cost.
    I'm actually playing an 800 point list that allies Moria just so I can have Azog and a dragon in the same list.

      I just started to build azog hunters, those orcs hunters with 2 attacks at strength 4 and 50 percent bows looks fun, the army hits hard af.

      @@metascrub285 I originally built the list with a lot of cavalry, and I was playing against a friend who made the comment "why don't you just bring a bunch of Hunter Orcs?" And at first I was like "but the warg riders???" But then I realized that they are just so good on foot. I recommend bringing a few of wash riders but prioritize the hunters on foot and a handful of them with two handed picks

      @@ryanhenderson225 yeah I was already about to do that. Only gonna bring the heros on wargs and 5-6 wargs, the rest are all gonna be on foot, the two attacks on foot make them budget cav.

    I recently brought my Helm's Guard LL to an escalation tournament. Running Helm with 3 King's Huntsmen at 800 points is just so much fun, sniping horses/dunedain and making your opponent so scared to get close to 25+ throwing spears :D

    huzzah for dunland!! really fun particularly vs rohan. great match vs defenders or theodred. all your heroes have roles, that they are good at, but none of them really step outside those to overlap/overpower. heaps of might, decent numbers, hits really hard( potential turn of autowounds vs rohan) but killable at D5 and down. nothing oppressive for your opponent but still strong enough for you as well. as shown by the top ten evil glass cannon murderfests are just freakin fun. almost always close games, often won (or lost) by heroes pulling off something cool.

    Azogs legion is surprising for me because it's so straight forward imo. I don't think I'd find that army fun.
