Thank you so much for all the kind comments! We've just packed and heading off to Throne of Skulls now. Will hopefully have a video review out in the next ten days or so. :)
Great format! Watched many battle reports on UA-cam and yours is easiest to follow with great onscreen stats, steady filming and great commentary. Thanks for a great video, I'm really looking forward to more!!!
This battle report earned you a new subscriber! I saw alot of quality in editing, miniature painting/conversions and commentary. Also very happy for the result of the game: those heroes waited their army to be dead in order to perform some glorious cavalry charging
Love the report, top quality production. I've watched lots of these and skipping the majority of the normal combats and movement is key and just watching the important fights is great as well. My only slight suggestion would be to put the Fight value on those stat cards you have as that is the decider for the dice rolls. Loved the tactics section as well
Thanks very much! Great shout on the Fight value, I will include that in the next report (and could have it change with Heroic Strikes etc). I did have all the stats at one point but it was too much to take in and not sure where GW stand on that. Really glad you liked the tactics section because I've not seen that elsewhere and felt uneasy making because I am definitely not a top tactician..! :)
@@twotreesgaming you can replace the will as its not really relevant for most things. Also dont be uneasy at the end of the day it was quick and too the point so even vets will just use it as context to how the game is going
I'll echo what most people already said: awesome battle reports, immense production value, easy to follow and very entertaining. Thanks for all the effort!
@@twotreesgaming I can imagine how much effort the whole thing is, and how little you get in return, so I completely understand. Still hope some day you might find the energy to get back to it. You have a knack. :) Best of luck!
Again quality editing and content!! I managed to watch the Throne of Skulls video before this video so knew you would win showcasing exactly HOW to beat those defensey dwarfs!!
Love the explanations and graphics throughout the batrep, what a great channel. You now have an avid follower who is excited to see what else you can teach us. Really enjoyable.
Subscribed to the channel within 5 minutes of watching. Great Batrep, amazing painting and more MESBG to watch! Top start chaps, looking forward to future uploads.
Awsome guys loved it, Always good seeing new batreps. Love all the converted high elves they are sweet. Forgetting to press record is something I seem to manage everytime I film one hahaha.
Outstanding- instant subscribe from me! The commentary was top-knotch as was the production itself. Thank you for taking the time to produce such a quality piece
Thanks, plan is to release the tournament review so you can see how these armies got on at Warhammer World and then go dark for a bit and film some kind of "Season" to have consistent releases in late spring kind of time...
Just discovered you guys, excellent battle report! As everyone said, the editing and production value here was awesome. We'll done! Might I ask what battle mat that is? It's a beauty!
Thanks! It's a Deepcut Studio Stalingrad map. It has tank tracks that we've hidden under houses so not perfect for Middle-earth but they have lots of other good ones. Top tip - stick some books or something underneath them to create some elevation to make them look even better :) Here a link: www.deepcutstudio.com/product/game-mat-stalingrad/
Haha we are indeed! And I think my answer to "have I read the book?": cover-to-cover is technically no, but I have listened to the audiobook many times!
Great battle report! Really enjoyed it. The only thing that stood out to me (apart from Young Thorin's infinite might!) was at 29:10, a Warrior of Thror shielded while he was in combat with a fellow Grimhammer. I'm fairly certain you can only shield if all friendly units in the combat can shield so, he would not have been able to (not that it mattered!).
So I just learnt something new! Checked in the rules and you are indeed correct, we always just played that you double the shielding dice but none can make strikes. Can't promise this won't be the first of many mistakes..!
Thanks for watching! If you skip to about 10.30 on this video there's a little on each conversion: ua-cam.com/video/hE_qYMV7fIk/v-deo.html But Elendil is King Aragorn with a head swap, Gil-Galad is Imrahil with some green stuff and the Numenor Captain is Hurin the Tall with a head and arm swap. :)
Just a case of me editing it too quickly together and bad camera work! 😂 You can just see Aaron picking up his Fate dice about 17:17. If we were pros, he'd have waited and we'd have filmed it a whole lot more dramatically!
I should have won but the other team scored more goals but I was winning until the game ended. Having said that, one turn, a few lucky dice and the whole game changed.
They're all converted - I'll hopefully have a little section about the armies in more detail in the next video with the tournament review, but Gil-Galad is based off Prince Imrahil, the King's Guard are Galadhrim warriors, Elendil is King Aragorn and the Numenorian Captain used to be Hurin. :)
@@twotreesgaming hahaha well true but the 5 might thorin made a huge difference 🤣 and ye u deserved to win , cause u won with less models and despite a 5 might thorin
Really solid batrep mate.
The production value on this is outta this world.
-Sean
Wish I knew how to do that xD
What an awesome battle report! Love the rings showing where hero’s are - the production value is insane, keep them coming :)
Thank you - I've been enjoying your videos too!

I love the way you introduce the armies, giving the right amount of depth into the stats behind them.
Thanks, it was a balancing act not boring people but not leaving people in the dark!
When Thorin fought Gil Galad, young Thorin doesn’t have an elven blade in his profile yet
Ah yeah, luckily didn't have too much of a baring on the game!
Unreal debut!
Thank you! More to follow hopefully.

Thank you! I'm not going to lie I'm obsessed with my little subscriber counter, means a lot! :) I'd love to tell you that was my plan.
Fantastic battle report, one of the best ive seen, top quality, cant wait to see more 👍
Thank you so much!!
The production quality is incredible, what an awesome batrep!
Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the kind words! Having a little break ATM but hopefully more stuff in the not too distant future!

Its made much more worth it for the nice comments! 😁👌
Again quality editing and content!! I managed to watch the Throne of Skulls video before this video so knew you would win showcasing exactly HOW to beat those defensey dwarfs!!
Haha yeah bit of a spoiler watching it that way round! Although I did get quite lucky, ultimately the Last Alliance heroes are just SO good!
A very solid start for the channel and a really good betrep! Thank you gyus, hope you will keep on!)
That is without a doubt, the best batrep I have seen on youtube so far. Top editing. Keep it up :D
Amazing thank you! Now please don't tell me if this is the only one you've seen..! :D
Love the explanations and graphics throughout the batrep, what a great channel. You now have an avid follower who is excited to see what else you can teach us. Really enjoyable.
Amazing, welcome aboard! Hopefully won't be too long before the tournament review comes out, started editing yesterday.
Man the extra effort in that tactical breakdown was class. Great report
Thank you! We try to show what we're thinking - even if it doesn't always work out!
Subscribed to the channel within 5 minutes of watching. Great Batrep, amazing painting and more MESBG to watch! Top start chaps, looking forward to future uploads.
Love to see fresh blood. Nice effects
Thanks! New to UA-cam, not to the game- although our playing abilities may have you believe otherwise..!
Awsome guys loved it, Always good seeing new batreps. Love all the converted high elves they are sweet. Forgetting to press record is something I seem to manage everytime I film one hahaha.

Thanks! So glad everyone is enjoying it.
Great production and battle. Keep it up. Especially like that it's easy to follow with info graphics. The tactics section is also a nice touch.
Thank you! Wasn't sure about the tactics bit but people seem to be enjoying that so I'll keep my eye out for more in future videos :)
Amazing batrep, really enjoyed watching it and the editing was done to perfection
Thank you! Got the next video exporting as I type, hopefully out tomorrow.
Great video guys! I'd love to see the conversions close up in another video, cheers.
There'll be a little section on them in the tournament review video that will hopefully be out end of next week!
@@twotreesgaming Nice, I'll keep an eye out.
Great battle report! This must have taken a decent amount of time to put together!
Thanks! Took a solid week but I'm hoping most of that was learning how to use the editing software and establishing the style etc.
Very neat format, got me subbed straight away! Well done!
Awsome batrep! Looking forward to the upcoming ones
Thanks! I'll have a tournament review soonish and then I'll try to follow that up with a battle report or two sometime in 2023...
Great bat rep guys! Can’t wait to see more in the future!
Great battlereport, lovely and unexpected ending. The production value was awesome
Thanks very much! Very glad it ended up being a game worth filming!
Phenomenal battle report guys!! Beautiful armies and it’s easy to see what’s happening! Can’t wait for the next one!
Great battle report and love the editing quality. Great job!
Thank you!
Awsome battle report love this style and the production value excited to see what your channel does

Editing on this video was incredible. More please 🙏
Thank you! I have a few filmed ready to edit but real-life is in the way. Hopefully won't be too long before I get round to it 😁
Great battle report guys
Keep them coming
Wonderful battle report! Glad I found your channel! Subscribed :)
Excellent! Good motivation to make a few more :)
Incredible presentation! 😎
Thank you, we're trying our best with it!
Top tier stuff keep ‘em coming
Thanks very much! Will still be a whole longer but more videos will happen :)
Awsome job and report. Thank You guys. ;)
Thank you! 😁
Great batrep, very tight game and some nice tactical decisions being made.
Yeah it really was an excellent game, very grateful to have chosen that one to film..!
Great battle report quality! Just subsribed to see more...
Thank you! It's excellent motivation. There'll be a little break but then a big content drop. 😁
Super work, well done
Thanks!

Great battle report, really easy to follow and alot of fun. I thought the tactis section was a really good break away.
Such a great battlereport
Thanks! Just posted the tournament review if you want to see how they get on at Warhammer World. :)
Please make more of these!
Will do! I have a GT report from February filmed, just no time to actually edit it! :)
Just found your channel very good format new subscriber
Thank you, much appreciated!
Are you in a kitchen showroom? Noticed an excellent windmill with very realistic sails. I ask this of all LOTR gamers, have you read the book?
Haha we are indeed! And I think my answer to "have I read the book?": cover-to-cover is technically no, but I have listened to the audiobook many times!
that as so close, tense game.
It was great fun, we had literally no idea how to film either..!

@Two Trees Gaming the only reason I know it is because we played it incorrectly and learned the hard way!
How did you make the horseback conversions?
Thanks for watching!
If you skip to about 10.30 on this video there's a little on each conversion: ua-cam.com/video/hE_qYMV7fIk/v-deo.html
But Elendil is King Aragorn with a head swap, Gil-Galad is Imrahil with some green stuff and the Numenor Captain is Hurin the Tall with a head and arm swap. :)
@@twotreesgaming thank you
17:13 Why didn’t Thrain do any F rolls? He had 3 F left when he got wounded by Gilly.
Just a case of me editing it too quickly together and bad camera work! 😂 You can just see Aaron picking up his Fate dice about 17:17. If we were pros, he'd have waited and we'd have filmed it a whole lot more dramatically!
The last alliance heroes had some good luck, but it was a great battle.
100% to both points! And it's an army that really relies on its heroes so a bit of luck goes a long way.
@@twotreesgaming I agree, I've played last alliance before, and when you're lucky they can wipe out an entire army or they roll bad and die.
I should have won but the other team scored more goals but I was winning until the game ended. Having said that, one turn, a few lucky dice and the whole game changed.
Haha exactly! But then we wouldn't be brothers if we admitted when we were bested..!
Where are the elves and mounted numenorians from?
They're all converted - I'll hopefully have a little section about the armies in more detail in the next video with the tournament review, but Gil-Galad is based off Prince Imrahil, the King's Guard are Galadhrim warriors, Elendil is King Aragorn and the Numenorian Captain used to be Hurin. :)
22:15 im pretty sure young thorin cannot have orcrist in this army list , because legolas hasn't given it to him yet....
Yeah we realised that later but luckily we only used it that once and it didn't have a massive baring on the game... Also, Aaron's a massive cheat. :D
@@twotreesgaming hahaha well true but the 5 might thorin made a huge difference 🤣 and ye u deserved to win , cause u won with less models and despite a 5 might thorin
