Middle Earth SBG Battle Report 600 Points Dunland vs Rivendell

Mick from Warg takes on Jarek in capture and control, will Dunlands numbers take the day or will the superior quality of the elves carry them to the big W.......

[@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth]

Imagine being a elf thats trained in battle for thousands of years to get killed by a homeless man with a stick. Great rep as always guys.

[@W.A.R.G]

That's why I cry every time I lose a model.

[@Timmie17]

Really loved this board setup my dudes. Was cohesive and nicely filled. With a bit of a narrative.

[@W.A.R.G]

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Love telling abit of a story with the table and match up!
- Jarek

[@Sierra117Masterchief00]

Always a pleasure to Watch!

[@joshmortimer3433]

Great Bat rep, Love Dunland armies, so was great to see vs Rivendell. Thanks

[@W.A.R.G]

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Dunalnd is definitely a great faction!
- Jarek.

[@SeipherNL]

Never been a fan of when people move the camera away from the action to stare at a dice tray when making rolls rather than where the action is happening myself but that's just me, other than that great rep and cool looking armies! Love the colour of the elves.

[@W.A.R.G]

Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed it. We are looking at stepping things up a notch with quality shortly and have an inset panel with another camera for dice rolls! Bear with us and hopefully we can make it an even better experience!

@@W.A.R.G that sounds like a great idea Jeff. though i personally didn't share the sentiments of the OP here, i do like the inset dice tray. just make sure the lighting is right on it. watched a bat rep once where you couldn't see the dice rolls as it was too small and then also too bright.

[@MathieuVuylsteke]

Those Rivendell dice were straight fire

[@punchyMiddleEarth]

What do you guys reckon about running Elrond at the low points levels? He is a little pricey but I can fit the whole army in one warband then 😅

[@martinsleight321]

Great presentation guys - just a quick one 13:45. Should be 3-4-5-6 Elf wins on the tie due to elven weapon rule. Fortunately for the Elves you rolled 5 but just for next time.
Love the blue on the cloaks. Very punchy.

[@martinsleight321]

Nevermind - saw again you shielded! lol

[@W.A.R.G]

Rivendell import all their sheilds! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Roll-Some-Dice]

Nice to see a good quality MESBG bat rep - good work guys - where’s your dice tray from?

[@W.A.R.G]

Hey mate, glad you enjoyed it! Check out our other batreps if your keen! The dice tray is from amazon.

[@SeanRKirkby]

Love to see the UGG Boots, is the tag still on those boots?

[@W.A.R.G]

I believe so mate, I’ll let our local Ugg expert confirm though!
-jeff

[@W.A.R.G]

Still got the tag mate. 10 years later still in mint condition.

[@Nick02111989]

haha good game boys! love a battle that comes down to the last turn! fun watch as always. Sad to see the 3rd Grade elves couldn't pull off the win against dunland, but well done to Stuey playing the objective!

[@W.A.R.G]

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Rivendell is easily a higher grade then lothlorien though.

[@Nick02111989]

@@W.A.R.G do you guys put your lists in the comments or video description?

[@W.A.R.G]

@@Nick02111989 we don't, normally just explained at the start. Something we could easily start doing though!
- Jarek

[@EAfirstlast]

@@W.A.R.G Honestly I think rivendell only tops lorien leaning on a last alliance build. I just don't respect the list much higher without the bruinen crutch it used to have, and its heroes are just very expensive for a pile of strength 4 guys without lances. Even getting horses.
Lothlorien's tricks I just rate higher, outside rivendell's ability to lean into a true beatstick army.

[@W.A.R.G]

@@EAfirstlast I agree with most of your points. Definitely think rivendell have dropped abit with the faqs.

[@ivobalk5217]

Cool banner in the back at the end. Where did you get it?

[@W.A.R.G]

Hey mate, one of our club members brought it back from New Zealand. I think from WETA itself!
- Jarek.

[@WelcomeToLumbridge]

Can a Dunland Wild man take the banner off a Dunland Warrior even though a Wild man cannot be equipped with a banner?

[@W.A.R.G]

Any non hero model with the same base size is the rule off the top of my head mate. Thanks for watching.
-Jeff

[@WelcomeToLumbridge]

@@W.A.R.G thanks Jeff was curious! Love your content thank you

[@robinleane5927]

elven made weapons were forgot in roll offs for drawn combat ! great game

[@W.A.R.G]

Thanks for watching mate, under the impression that when elves shield they lose the benefit of the elven made weapon, same as the cheap gondorian import spears they use!
-Jeff

[@Nick02111989]

you don't get the elven made advantage when shielding, or using lances or spears. For whatever reason the elves import these weapons.

[@KASAGIofficial]

Does the water not count as difficult terrian?

[@Maulderin]

Where did you get your playmat?

[@W.A.R.G]

Hey mate, Battle mat was purchased from here thecombatcompany.com/collections/battlemats but I'm not sure if it is still available in 4x4 - Mick

[@MVeminor7]

Always fun guys. Thanks for the batrep!

[@ki5u]

in the first shooting phase only 3 archers could shot into the rider. The forth one had in the way through his army dude :p

[@W.A.R.G]

You're right @kisek12. Elves need all the help they can get 😜. I'll be onto him next time 😉.
