We have been working on making some of the best battle reports we can make for a while now, so we're really excited to start sharing them with everyone,...
I read on the article, and it said only things that are on the movies, anime, and books were allowed to come out for the new edition.
Was happy that I stumbled on this in my recommendations. Less happy to find out I can't bingewatch the whole campaign yet! Guess I'll have to subscribe and wait patiently, great job lads!
Haha glad you enjoyed! We've filmed lots more, editing as fast as we can for you guys!
Beutiful terrain. Well played. This scenario never plays out the same, due to the sentry rule. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks! And yes the sentries can really throw the game one way or another in these scenarios, loads of fun though!
Very well done! Beautiful terrain, clear explanations, and good camera shots
That's kind, thank you!
Nice game. The terrain looks great!
Thanks!
one says the line between bravery and stupidity is really thin... and i believe this game proves it further. GG, i really look forward to the rest of the campaign!
Haha very true!
Awesome, loving the adventure.
I am - in addition to the game play itself - especially loving the cutscenes! 🎬
Thank you! We've been having a lot of fun with them :D
Great game, looking forward to the next part.
Cheers!
Fantastic intro. She really built up the excitement. Game on, gentlemen!
Ah thanks! I'll pass it along!
Wow, that hobbit hole (house) looks awesome! Who makes that frontage for it? I didn’t catch the name. Thanks
Thanks! It's the Forge World Hobbit Hole set, which is just the frontage and windows/chimneys - the rest is foam, flock and tufts, they're great little kits :)
@ So they’re still being produced and sold, that you know of?
Question. I only have 3 wraith riders. Do you think it is worth having few more to maximize scenario game play for the quest book? They are pricey to get few more but I am on the fence to buy them.
Yeah that's certainly a tough question, if you can grab hold of a fourth mounted one (the plastic Witch King might be a good shout), then you'd have enough for Bree. The only mission that requires more is Flight to the Ford, which needs at least 5 (and maybe up to 9), so it's up to you to decide if you're good with skipping that one for the sake of lots of metal minis... Personally the Bree mission is great fun, so if you can get hold of a fourth I'd go for it!
@ I ended up ordering few more. Probably not the last time I go over budget 😅
Loving these keep them up I want to see this to the end
Cheers! There's loads more filmed, so keep an eye out, editing them as fast as we can! 😅
Cool series. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Very excited to see this series continuing, and the board and models look fantastic still! Love the ferry.
Cheers!
Very excited for this campaign! Thanks for running it and sharing with us
Thanks! We're really excited to bring it to you guys, been a ton a fun creating it all! ☺️
Really enjoying the content. Very good quality videos and presentation, good job!
With the cost of one of those kits you could build the entire town out of foamboard and filler 😂
Certainly true! We've built a bunch of things out of foam and filler (some coming up soon!) but they can take a lot longer, for a quick start and as a basic guide we used the Lake-Town kits as they're really easy to use and great little kits :)
U need to get these out faster! I hanging here to see wat happens next
Excellent report. New sub excited to check out the rest of your stuff
Blubbery mass... i hate that rule. But i guess otherwise golbin town would be challenging
It's certainly powerful, but only goes so far...
Lovely table, good chat and nice camera work. Subbed 👍
Great channel and lovely miniatures and terrain. Would you consider making a video detailing how you made your terrain? The modular pieces w/ the hill is very nice and would love to make something like this myself.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! The board is actually an old Realm of Battle set that we repurposed with flock, so we can't claim any credit for the shape of it, they're lovely old sets that work really well if you remove some of the stranger things like pits of skulls etc. We did so some complete custom boards for later missions (check out Short Cuts make long delays!) and will have a think about any upcoming videos we could film :)
Nice to see these infrequently played scenarios! Very difficult for evil this one! A strategy tip for evil. If you compel frodo, you can make him put the ring on. The wraiths suffer none of the usual penalties and dont lose will for fighting a model wearing the ring!
Thanks! We're working our way through the entire quest book so there's loads more to come. And that's an excellent tip on the compel! I'm sure I knew that already but for some reason it completely left my mind on filming day! Haha ah well 😅
Great video! Very well shot and easy to follow. Looking forward to the next mission. 🏔
Thanks!
Awesomeness. Really hope to see the following video very shortly.
Thanks!
Really enjoyed the scenario. Good clear presentation. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks! More on its way soon :)
Feels like the scenario design would be far better if the dogs started off scattered, with sentry rules, so that the Hobbits get to do some sneaking and plunder rather than immediately being stuck in a pitched battle against the dogs.
Would certainly be really interesting to try, I think Farmer Maggots is a really good scenario to start the campaign at is genuinely really fun to replay. My only concern with sentries would be that with a couple of bad rolls it would be far too easy for the Hobbits, but maybe one to try!
@@StridingEdgeGames As it's the game adapting the film adapting the book, starting off the hobbits as two separate groups would be more thematic. Merry and Pippin scrumping, joined by Frodo and Sam who are just in the neighbourhood. I'd have designed it that the dogs are placed first, Merry and Pip get to choose where to launch their mushroom mission on, and Frodo and Sam starting by the stash coming in to see what's doing on. I get the intent of the scenario, a little fighting smash and grab, but it's very linear and dice roll heavy with not enough movement options built in. Opening it up for some movement and randomness would make it more fun (and chaotic).
Where's Merry! What did farmer maggot do?!
Haha clearly he's nursing a dog bite! It's actually one of the areas where the films and books diverge, in the books he goes ahead to prepare the house in Crickhollow so he's not around when they first run into the Black Riders 🙂
@@StridingEdgeGames I just went through the Silmarillion and lotr for the first time (super proud of myself) and I was about to say "unless, this is before they meet back up with Merry." But doubted myself >.< Great video though. Cant wait for the next one
Woo hoo I've been really looking forward to the next mission
Fantastic video, keep it up!
Thanks!
Loving the content and the Ring Bearer Quest scenarios, keep it up.
Thanks! More to come soon 😁
Super enjoyable to watch, the vid on my feed came out of nowhere but it has got my subscription :)
Thank you, great to hear you enjoyed!
Great game, really enjoyed the narration. The board and minis are great, looking forward to the next mission.
Cheers! The boards are super fun to put together but a lot of work, so glad people enjoy them!
Such talent and skill 👍👍
Since they have come out with new sculpts for WAR of the Rohirrim, are we going to see new sculpts game wide?
We really hope so, new Riders of Rohan would be great!
I just made one of these following your guide. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
That's great to hear, really happy that it was of use! If you post it anywhere make sure you tag us, would love to see the results! ☺️
Really enjoyed watching this tutorial- instant subscribe! Can you do something for osgilliath houses at some point? 🙏🏻
Thanks that's very kind! We'll get round to the Osgiliath ruins eventually, we need to build some first! 😅
Really nice guide!
Thanks!
Really like what you have done here and I may well Do the same. These kits look really good. 👍🏻
Thanks and good luck!
Looking forward to future deep dives as mentioned :) Thanks! I'm personally quite excited, despite losing all my nicely converted mounted citadel guard archers and Beregond to the void.
Thanks, we'll see what we can get published soon! As for Beregond, don't worry, he should be back with the third book! (Although possibly without his horse sadly)
@StridingEdgeGames I very much doubt his horse will return sadly. Focusing on working on some new stuff.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Great video.
From the reviews of the box set i have seen and also the painting tutorials the Rohan figures are great. I would love to get it but, seeing as i have Rohan figures in my pile of shame from 15 years ago my wife would loose it if i bought the set.
Haha yes it's always a tough justification when you have plenty of the old models, maybe you could just 'lose' some and have to replace them 😉
Was a good game, i have the goblin town box set. One day i may get around to painting the dwarves from the set.
It seems to me like the competitive players are going to be the most hurt by the army lists. At the same time I wonder how important competitive players are for driving sales and building a player base? I say that because I remember how privateer press changed their rules to allow measurement before actions were taken and the reasoning they gave was that the competitive players didn't like having to guess if they could complete a charge or not. I also remember war machine kind of going downhill after that. I don't know food for thought.
I just want to see whoever draws the short straw tell sauron that he's not allowed to take catapults in his army.
Sounds like a good time to draw straws 😅
I notice that your pile of old edition supplements is missing a few books! 🙂
Haha yes, some were elsewhere for filming, and some we are still hunting for!
As a very old person who has only recently returned to Middle Earth I found this really useful. Haven't bought the box but got the rule book and the armies book and a nice box of Dunlanders. One little thing... this is the second of your videos I have watched and, having grown up with Ant & Dec, I was sort of expecting to find you sitting in the same positions as the other one, but you have swapped chairs! Was this a deliberate choice thing?
Glad to hear the video is helpful, we honestly just want to create stuff that people will enjoy and find useful. As for Ant & Dec, we certainly don't consciously change sides, but we definitely don't keep track of who was where last, enough to remember as it is 😅
Great video, keeping a positive spin on s not so positive developement. While we’re transitioning from having a wide array of options for army building to a pool of 70-100 predefined lists, the reality is much worse than it seems. Most of these narrowly defined lists won’t even work at every point level, so the actual selection is laughably small. Once the community figures out which lists have the most overpowered bonus rules, you’ll end up seeing the same few lists over and over at tournaments. Sure, the specific lists might vary slightly depending on the points level, but the end result is the same: variation will be almost non-existent, and the game will get stale and boring faster than ever.
I second this statement
Thanks, and yes I do see people's point, we have had a step backwards in terms of what is possible in list building at the moment. The question is whether the other improvements, and the upcoming book(s), will remedy that, we think there's a really good chance they will, and really hope everyone comes out happy in the end. Personally I really trust the overall judgement of the core rules writing team, GW's communications strategy, perhaps not.
Worth noting that Rivendell Elves (and Galadhrim, for that matter) actually can take shield and sword. One of the very few instances that they have allowed something that the models don't. Also, GW themselves have said that Armies of Middle Earth will both bring some new lists and slot new profiles into the lists in these two books.
Ah that's really interesting! Something to keep an eye on for sure!
Can you point out where they said so? I want to spread the words to my community!
