After a stellar showing of accents from our Australian brethren, we decided to wear the native dress of their people. You can find it here if you want to see just how well they pulled off our beautiful voices. czcams.com/video/hOPXJqmcdug/video.html
While you are there, go give those lovely lads at The Last Alliance of Noobs and Men & CrackerMilk a sub from us! - Josh

This means War!!!!!!
Get ready to feel our wraith when we film out next batrep.
-Sean
Which wraith will it be? The Knight of Umbar is my personal favourite
~Stephen
@@anyheroics You have no idea how many times I have to proof read Seans descriptions and comments...
also Umbar? controversial mate
-Liam
@@NoobsandMen agreed, Knight of Umbar is shit, I just like his rules
~Stephen
Yass Helms guard I want to try that. Also didnt know noobs had started a 2nd channel xD
Helm is amazing not fighting a F5 army, went 3W 1L at a tourney the next day!
~Elliot
Nice haha I was waiting for the response to the Noobs 😂
Could hardly let it go unnoticed;)
~Elliot
Can't believe you've completely rebranded the channel. I'll miss the old Last Alliance of Noobs and Men 😂
Catch you for the tier list next week
~Elliot
The worst thing to happen to Anglo-Prisoner relations since the great throwing weapon war
Bring back the memes throwing spears are the new meta
~Elliot
Thanks for the shutout to WARG lads!! Good to know you think we are one of the best Aussie ones 😉
You're all beautiful people down there - keep up the content!
~Stephen
My new favourite part of Fridays!
Glad we can help make your Fridays that much better! - Josh
In reference to Boromir's Horn of Gondor: there was an FAQ that changed it to the model that has the best chance of passing a courage test. So Helm and a Royal Guard in the combat would mean the Royal Guard auto-passes the courage check (with Helm not needing to take the test at all).
This is very good to know cheers Chris - Stephen trying to sabotage me as usual;)
~Elliot
Loved this bat rep, was in stitches at the Boromir impression! Keep up the great work 🇬🇧
Rumour has it Josh practices in the mirror, glad you enjoyed!

How did the 500pt Minas Tirith list feel in the end? I have a 500pt game coming up (my first) and I was wondering if this would be a good place to start? Any help would be most appreciated 🙏🏻
@@OllsMESBG76 Hey Oli, thanks for the question. I've been running Minas Tirith now for the better part of a year, and I can say they are a great army if you're getting into the game or a long-standing player. the strength of the army is in its versatility. You have many troop options all with great benefits and positives. For most players, I always recommend Boromir with the banner. It instantly buffs your entire army as well as Boromir himself. Having an F7 Hero with a 6" Banner is insane but add on top of that 6 might and I believe he's one of the Best heroes in the game.
Now to answer your question. This particular list has a bit of everything that can help in any scenario. You got good numbers, with the Boromir banner, the fountain court, the rangers and the citadel guard all going up to F5 within 6" of him. This ties them on fight value against elves, beats the fight value of most other armies and also ties the fight against most mid-tier heroes, such as captains. Denethor being your leader means Boromir can truly go crazy in combat, without the fear of worrying about leader wounds. Now Denethor himself has no might but he is still F5 2 attacks so even in those leaders killing scenarios Denethor can do work. He is also great for this point's value since he only costs 35pts and can have upto15 warriors in a Warband! Honestly, this is a solid list at 500 especially when most won't expect Boromir at this point's value.
My final piece of advice would be to try out all the lower-tier heroes as they all have amazing rules, especially the newer heroes such as Ingold and Hurin. Minas Tirith is one of the few armies in the game that scales well for any points.
Thanks for the comment, feel free to ask any other questions you might have and I hope this helped! - Josh
Keep it going guys, high quality content! 👋
Every Friday we shall be here! :) - Josh
It was when I saw the dog that I remembered to like the video. Good content.
It's the closest we'll get to a Wolves of Isengard list
~Stephen
Daddy Den yessss lets go!
THE MAN HIMSELF
~Stephen
The "Faramir would have rolled 3s" killed me. XD
*squelches tomato*
~Elliot
God I love you guys, just a bloody good laugh to watch. I'd watch those Noobs lads, but they have some idiot called Liam and he just gives me the shits 😘
Glad you like the content, gotta watch out for Liam haha 😜- Josh
First ! this should be fun
We aim to please!
~Stephen
What would you guys rate as the strongest armies at 450-500pts?
Difficult one! Army of laketown is still very good at lower points. Hunter orcs have a lot of bodies and killing power at that points level. Dwarves have good numbers and solid heroes. Do you have a specific list or model you want to use?
~Stephen
@@anyheroicsactually have a bunch of ideas/armies to run but having trouble narrowing it down/deciding haha. Been looking more at the armies with higher model counts (some you've mentioned above) do to their ability to handle a broader range of scenarios (especially objective capture scenarios). Mordor and AoL LL seem to have potential in that regard? Even Minis Tirith?
39 minutes long i'm expecting carnage
I hope you weren't disappointed!
~Stephen
Shane Risotto, who?
Is that a type of rice?
