Very hyped!

Very true! I love it both ways.

Ah, yep, totally forgot that. I'm usually just allying in Erebor Reclaimed (Thorin) so usually don't have a second hero from the faction.

It's okay. Can be sloggy and repetitive. Main beef is your character resets between missions so you lose your cool abilities.

@ thank you, we’re gonna try it out and see

@@justinfanter3620 yeah it’s pretty good for an evening but does get old. Fun with a big group!

Ah shucks, happy to hear that!

Believing in us is a big mistake.

@@NowForWrathGaming Hey google, how do I edit a youtube comment I regret. 🙃

Yeah, there was no need to play it out! Andrew's pretty funny, but I'd never say that to his face. -S

Thanks! It'll show up batrep after next.

YES- survival instinct needs to GO. I'll be so happy with Moria if that rule is gone.

Aww shucks!

Yeah, that's the thing I'm anticipating the most. I really hope there's still a fair amount of freedom and room for creativity. List building is one of the best parts of the game. We shall see! -Andrew

Yep, I agree pretty much completely. Glad our game is getting some refreshment. In a perfect world, we could have that AND no legacy models, but I think it's more realistic to have to drop some models, a fair amount of them even, to make room for what they've already announced AND future releases. -Andrew

Interesting thoughts on Courage. Did you feel the same way about shooting? It’d be like for all shooting you need a total of 6 to hit. Take your shoot value + D6. If it totals 6, it’s a hit. If you half move, -1 to your shoot value. I think having those systems align makes sense to me.

@@Competentetyler You know what, I like this. The reason why its so good, is you can say that your shoot value can never go below 0. And in order to hit, you roll a d6 and to the result + Sv. What this means is that we no longer have the silly problems we have right now with the Shade, where we don't know if it's actually impossible to hit, because it gives a -2 modifier to someone who hits on a 5+ or 6+. If instead of giving them a modifier, you give them -1 to their shoot value, and shoot value can never be less than 0. You solve all these problems, and you make it so that they always hit on a 6.

Good to hear about resolve. In re-reading it, I could see your point, though I wish it was clearer. And yeah, how army building will work is the big thing I'm holding my breath for. I hope it's still got plenty of room for creativity. I don't mind the courage thing since I think it just saves us a step. "I'm courage 3 so I need a 7+" is a step we usually get to anyway, I think. But I see what you mean about multiple things affecting courage in different ways. We'll see if blades of the dead exists!

Ah thanks! I missed that!

Busy times! We'll have a batrep up next week.

Haha we're working on it! We'll have a chatty video this week and then a batrep next week. Been busy times and we're saving some of our strength for the new edition, but we've got a few in the hopper that just need editing!

@@NowForWrathGaming Looking forward to it! I might even buy a mini or two... hundred.

@@sog242 Oh yeah, my wallet is about to hurt I think...

That would be fun! We don't have any painted Lothlorien but we could use Rivendell as stand ins... hmm

The ruins are 3D prints! A mix of sources- Darkfire designs and... somewhere on Thingiverse! I think the mat is from Gamemats.eu Thank you!

Haha, not much to sigh about in this one.

Thanks, glad you enjoy the channel!

So, Andrew (the guy who won) here, and I think it's probably more "competitive" to insist on finishing a game that's definitely over just to find out how many victory points I can scrape out of it, than it is to just say "yeah we get it, I won, we can enjoy the rest of our day now". In a friendly game, I don't have a ton of fun continuing to slaughter my opponent after I've already clearly won, so I don't see a lot of reason to play it out. Now I get that the VIEWER might want to see it play out, and that's fair, but I can assure you that I wouldn't be "enjoying my victory" if we had continued to play this one out. I won, that's cool, I don't need to keep cleaning up dwarves and watch my opponent pull models off the board. I don't get any satisfaction out of that outside of maybe a tournament where I'm playing for the podium. But we do talk about this and whether or not we should play these things out for the viewer's sake. But in the end, we're just two guys having fun recording our games, and we don't really want to kill an hour wrapping up a not-super-fun game. We'll often play a turn or two more than we would if there were no cameras around, but that's about all. They can't all be compelling nailbiters, and this wasn't going to become one if we kept playing, so we decided to call it, and I think we'll stick with that philosophy going forward. We have jobs and lives and this is just a fun project, so I don't think we're going to do something unfun for the sake of our little channel, even if the channel is important to us. It's all about having fun and bringing people in to join in on the fun, but us having fun is top priority, and we had all the fun we could with this one. Hope that's understandable! Most games aren't like this one, but it was totally over. We'll think about disclaimer or something for future games that end abnormally early so you can just skip it if that's not to your liking.

Steven here! (Guy who got destroyed). Andrew and I have been playing together for many many wonderful years now. We allow each other plenty of grace- mostly grace in victory! Appreciate the comment, but I assure you there were no hard feelings here on either part- just cold logic and valuing each other's time :)

They definitely CAN do well- got second at Nova! But boy they always just seem good "on paper" to me. Shame cause I really love them. Hoping the new edition gives them some love.

@@NowForWrathGaming This is true! Maybe it’s a scale thing? I was going to say, they excel in Killy scenarios and there really aren’t enough of them. But you just played Assassination and boom! No Cav No Spears No Magic That’s a lot to overcome.

@@Competentetyler Andrew and I are both thinking dwarves and elves bromance is a thing- expensive troops but strong! But yeah, they have a lot of strengths but a lot of weaknesses. There's too many lists with diminished weaknesses and similar strengths that it leaves KD sorta feeling lackluster still.

Thank you for the kind words- you're right! I had that pits army in my possession for all of 1 hour before playing it so just totally forgot about the rule! I'm eager to get them back on the table and not make the same mistake!

Let us know if there's something you'd like to see more of in the batreps! We try to hit the variety where we can. We'll keep the priorkity thing in mind, but we're not even thinking about it now :) We'll keep it in mind!

@@NowForWrathGaming Generally really like your reports. This game seemed a bit odd though, it was almost as if the video started half way through the scenario as the forces were literally on top of each other, probably down to the scenario, can't say I've ever come across it. Personally I prefer scenarios where there is some movement and cat & mouse type stuff, but again, YMMV.

Yeah that's fair. Just the situation with the scenario and matchup, I guess. Helm wants to avoid Azog and it's not that hard with Azog's big base. And yeah, we both pretty much deployed to the center since we both wanted to be on/near objectives, so a pretty simple game of clash and roll dice. We're going to bring magic back soon, we just wanted a break from it. Next report won't have magic but the one after will, so should be a bit spicier.

Coming up next (as Erebor Reclaimed)!

I'd like to give it a shot. We might not get to squeeze it in before the new edition happens, at which time we'll definitely be in "TRY ALL THE STUFF THAT CHANGED" mode, but as a Grey Company lover, rangers are always on my mind and will surely return, hopefully with Arathorn!

Coming up next!

We did get the standfast right but YEP TOTALLY forgot about the auto-win priority.

Guess we'll just put a big ol' asterisk on this one, eh Andrew? -S

NO, I WIN AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME

😂😂😂

They're definitely from my early days of painting! I was just telling Andrew how I wish I had the time to redo all of my Rohan- my newer paint jobs are way better!

@@NowForWrathGaming well if you get the new Rohan scuplts you will be able to do just that! I'm hoping they release a new plastic Royal Guard sprue!

Haunted dice are real!

Terrible, terrible things! It was a rough one haha. But yeah, I loved the list and theme. In a normal dice game, it also would have done great I think.

Yeah, I thought it was over. You just never know in this game.

I'll have to give that a shot. Maybe a dice cannon...

I need to run a list based upon the law firm of 'dush, 'dush, and 'gush. Orc law.

@@NowForWrathGaming I think they maybe a bit specialised and need to expand into uruk and spider law too

Thank you :) Means a lot!

That's why this was the last hurrah! Recorded just before the new book came out :)

Agree the old Shade has been replaced by the new one as stated in the designers note in the Rise of Angmar book.

@@nikmad4 No disagreement here. This was recorded many weeks ago- hence it's the farewell to the old shade!

@@NowForWrathGaming makes perfect sense in that case

Thank god for that!

There will come a time, when all hope has faded, when Andrew, son of Andrew's Dad, will take up his handful of dice, and roll reasonably well.

@@NowForWrathGaming"But it is not this day! This day we FLUB!" - probably Aragorn, when piloted by Andrew.

We're here for a good time, not a long time.

@@NowForWrathGaming 9:18 I think this would have been one of those rare applications for a Heroic Strength by Elendil. He’s base S5, so it’s a guarantee to end at S6. This would avoid him being Knocked Prone on the hurl as the hurled model would hit the S6 model and immediately end (not being passed through).

That's a great tip I hadn't thought of. That would have been smart! Something I'll keep in mind for next time, thanks!

@@NowForWrathGaming okay, maybe not. I guess your Mount still takes an S6 hit along with Rider… Ugh, when will Heroic Strength show its worth.

Ah, yeah, and either way the horse would take a S6 hit (as would Elendil), so you're probably losing the horse no matter what. Even if the rules would say you're not technically knocked prone automatically.
