AoLL is interesting, a lot of people bemoan it being OP but it's SO easy to counter. My local group figured it out quickly: It dominates campy, defensive, or high shooting players but absolutely gets smashed by Rohan (ALL throwing weapons get that sweet +1 against anything that isn't a goblin!) or monsters. I've been playing it a bunch and dominated early on but it's weaknesses are very exploitable imo
Oooh that's very interesting man thank you. I was thinking of starting a fun rohan army but it might end up being competative with all the AoL lists hahaha
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth Definitely! I will say too that AoL likes to chow down on smaller elite armies, BUT getting lucky dice rolls is a huge huuuuge part of that outside of enraged wargs or spiders. The +1 to Wound on shooting is really cool up until you realize it's gatekept by 5+ shooting (6+ if they're scooting around)
Hello! greetings from Spain. Good game I played against Iain in the WTC with a good beer included. My Beornids held up very well against their Assault on Lorien list.
@@intothewestpodcast About 100. But also Assault on helms deep and bears. Im a bit confused as I thought this event was supposed to be a themed one as no league points. xD
@Into the West Podcast Amen man. I'm a bit worried of the game getting stale if I go to a tournament and face the same 5 armies. Just give them too many tools.
Assault on Lothlorien is OP and needs a Nerf. In Germany almost everybody says that. Even the AOL players admit that it is OP 😂 44 Player event this saturday and sunday in Hamburg, Germany. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place all played Assault on Lothlorien. It's dominating the german Meta like nothing else
If 44 ppl are taking it, why dont people to start running lists that counter it. Mass troops and lots small hero's will destroy it as they don't have enough bows or magic to deal with it. Show them who's boss 😆
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth 8 of 44 played Assault on Lothlorien and top 4 players played AOL. No everyone played AOL 😄 This is no counter, just a list that can maybe hold his own. The Night Rule, +1 shooting, +1 in combat while outnumberimg, re roll all magic dice, free spider upgrade, 15 instead of 12 troops with the 3 named shamans, 12 with the other shamans. There are just too many busted special rules at once 🤷♂️
@Constantin Haunert ahhh OK sorry I'm an idiot I thought it was the 100player event. That's still pretty crazy. I think I might have a list that can beat it, it's doing well so far but needs more testing 😀
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth no worries mate 😄 Interesting! My mate played Minas Tirith with Denethor, Hurin, Ingold, Madril with 53 models at 755p. He thought it was a counter. He lost against AOL and played later a draw. So yeah, if you win against AOL at tournaments let me know 😂 Actually TOs jn germany are starting to ban AOL. At a big event in April and a smaller event in May AOL and Black Riders are banned
@@CapitanCorner I had to play black riders at the weekend and wanted to kill myself. He played and I watched. What will be banned at the one I'm aiming to go for?
Good fun guys . Orks and elves figures look awesome .
Cheers man! Love me wome elves

been looking forward to this. Yass about time had the King on the channel!
An absolute spanking was dished out. Not sure Ive won a bat rep yet xD
@J Macc's Armies of Middle Earth. yeah don't think so tbf you were up against it with this one.
Lord of The Boaby. Absolutely incredible.
Absolute shagger
Good to see the Partick Thistle elves back on the channel again. Great fart noises 💨
Need the mascot next time for the moral! xD
Man your elves turned out top notch.

There are my old old elves from 15 years ago 😆
"ashrag here with loads off shite" how ill be explaining my army lists from here on out,
Hahaha. It just saves on time, more efficient 😆
Ahhh got to love that tasty salt in the comments haha
Deep down the old salt mines 😆
Nice job man, always funny to see something smashing through miniatures🤣
Aww God man it really hurt my soul when some of the sheilds fell off 😢
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth Spears are worst.. 😄

Brilliant can't beat a good game with good beer. Sad I didn't make it to Spain too 😞
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth No problem, next year we'll be waiting for you with open arms and a cold beer.
Ahhhh my friend from Spain. Was a blast playing you. Hope to see you next year!
Orc bows actually working at the start
You can say that again :'(
Nice battle
Cheers my man!
Great video as always even if I had to bring the sex appeal
Fap material
RAW SEX APEAL MATE. RAW
Need to get me one of those Gondolin paintings😯
Its my baby. You can contact Ted Nasmith on facebook for a list of prints :D
You can reroll all the dices when casting a spell, not just one
Wow that's even more scary! What's your thoughts on the legion?
Seems about right 😂
-Richard
I think there are 12 AoL lists at my next tournament. Not sure I want to go any more xD
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth how many playerss? Even if it's 100 players, 12 is disgusting lol
@@intothewestpodcast About 100. But also Assault on helms deep and bears. Im a bit confused as I thought this event was supposed to be a themed one as no league points. xD
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth that's the danger of nerfing alliances and making LL so strong. Everyone who plays these crazy LLs say it's themed! lol
@Into the West Podcast Amen man. I'm a bit worried of the game getting stale if I go to a tournament and face the same 5 armies. Just give them too many tools.
They should ban all the legions with "assault" in the name. About as fun as having your balls slammed in a draw.
Yeh it is not fun at all hahaha. Just ruined by spiders and bats
Is the answer yes they are busted? 😆
Well my arse is still sore from it xD
git gud
-Liam
Fat chance of that happening xD
Your heroes cause terror so the bats/spiders woulda needed courage tests to charge..
Yeh we did them but the movement phase is sped and I forgot to edit it in sorry 😞
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth No bother just making sure you weren’t getting shafted 😂
@@thefinalseries To be honest I'm that bad I got shafted anyways 😆
I cream over both Of you ❤️❤️❤️
Is that on the OnlyFans?
Yeah we all share the man cream 😂
@James Gilray Any subscription for Mongolian lords?
Oh fuck aye
Why there is no terror passing to Gil-Galad?
There was but I edited it out because I am an idiot sorry. I didnt realise until I had spend 5 hours uploading it xD
At least you have practice at being absolutely destroyed by this Ll if you face it at the weekend!😉
Aye hopefully they arnt as good as Iain with it xD
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth More like ypu have the boards with a lot of terrain so you don't have to walk into a gunline of +1 to wd!🤮

Definitely Busted and not in a good way like the band.
Its what I go to School for, to learn how to beat this list
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth I'd prefer to see Miss McKenzie. Maybe she could make a guest appearance on the next show.
