For those who want to see the tactics of Rangers in text the 1D4chan tactics page was finally created by me and a few other contributors, they provided the information while I did most of the editing here is the link 1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Strategy_Battle_Game/Tactics/The_Rangers Edit: most of the information came from this video and personal experience with the army
Thanks! I definitely try to be as thorough as possible! I'm going to try to keep the videos coming in 2019. I'm already starting it off with a new How to Play Numenor video: ua-cam.com/video/Pqeci0DvK4Y/v-deo.html
I'm actually using Tournaments to expedite the videos. I have a new tournament I'm going to every weekend for the next three weeks. It should really speed up my experience with at least three new armies at minimum
Actually Khazad Dum is one of the next ones I'm thinking of doing. I'm considering bringing it to Throne of Skulls so that I can get a lot of testing done all at once
you think grey company is the way to go on higher points? planning on taking aragorn with armour, halbarad with banner and 16 ranger from the north to a friendly cup, 755p. all scenarios, veto-system, 2 armies to bring (good/evil). Love your content by the way, cheers!
The plastic Aragorn from the Fellowship box (old Mines of Moria set) is one model that people should be able to pick up since that set is available from GW, thought I think you can find the model on trade groups or eBay for much cheaper, since it's been out for so long. The sculpt quality isn't bad, and the pose is okay.
I think people default to Rangers of the North because of the D5, but there's some merit to Dunedain. For every 5 North Rangers you can get 6 Dunedain, which is an extra bow, an extra 2 attacks, and 1 might for buffing that crucial roll to a 5 or 6. That said, i'm still not sure which is the better option for a full list.
Yo man! Need way more how to play video’s ! Great work, i would love to have a review of lorien , im making a single lorien army and an animal forest allaiance With eagle and ent to give them more strenght on board, let me think what you think
Glad you are loving them! They unfortunately take a while since I have to have a minimum of 8 games with an army against various opponents and armies to make a video on them (and even more for larger forces with more Historical Alliances). They will definetly be coming for sure though. Lorien is a top one on my mind but has a lot of Historical Alliances. So it will take a while to get to their video. IF you make an animal alliance, I would say go for Eagles. It helps with the mobility problem of Lorien and the lack of hard hitting, fast heroes (no heroes in lorien have a mount).
Ok Thank you! Looking forward to furure video’s, i must say lorien got muuuch better with the increased armor problem solved, celeborn got pimped, and cavalry more viable option now, my pure lorien army now Will be(for fun with friend and collection/not big time tournament) 1000 point: galadriel celeborn armored shielded leasing full warband swordsman spearman and caras caladhon guard and banner so lots of dice main force, haldir with archer bataljon and stormcaller, and a captain on horse with 7 more horse cavalry of which half have bows and all have shields great mobilty and hard flanking , like iT ?
Nice one, looking forward to trying this army out in a tournament setting, my only real concern is coming up against Grima Wormtongue, I feel like he almost totally shuts down the Rangers if he's anywhere close and the only counter is to try and keep him pinned away from your army, which takes valuable models away from the fight. Any thoughts on how you've dealt with Grima so far?
My one time I went against Grima I had Gandalf, so I easily dealt with him then. But if you dont have Gandalf, then having a few Hobbits sprinkled in holds him down at minimal cost (the dogs do it better though due to increased movement speed). If you dont have any allies at all, then it can be fairly difficult. Unfortunately you will have to give up at least a Ranger or two since he shuts down your entire list. (For that reason I would always sprinkle in Lobelia with some hobbits for a minimal cost. Most people tend to ignore them rather than use them to Break you. Especially since they spend all game hiding.
You mention chaining heroic combat. But myself and many people coming into the game probably don't know. Perhaps you could make videos of these concepts more in detail? A tactical kinda thing

Thank you for undertaking this project, looking forward too seeing the next army w/i a fortnight.

Perfect vid, I d never thought that rangers could be that efficient!!Can the next one be about the dwarves of khazad dum?
Actually Khazad Dum is one of the next ones I'm thinking of doing. I'm considering bringing it to Throne of Skulls so that I can get a lot of testing done all at once
Love the channel, Devin! Keep up the great work!
Also, really enjoyed the article you wrote with Mik.

Great video! So appreciate the work you put in these and grateful you are bring them up to date with ME updates. Looking forward to future videos.

Why dont the rangers have to worry about bow limits? Is it because they are all heros?
Those characters are back up on pre order on UK GW site
Welcome back :)
Well, time to get the Rangers back together ^^

Maybe use heroic accuracy on rangers that aren't within 6" of Grima to try and take Saruman out early on. Not an ideal solution, but it could work.
My one time I went against Grima I had Gandalf, so I easily dealt with him then. But if you dont have Gandalf, then having a few Hobbits sprinkled in holds him down at minimal cost (the dogs do it better though due to increased movement speed).

This is a great idea! I'll work on that
Mate where can we find the fig from 8.00 I need her with my Rangers :P
Rangers with the King of the Dead!?! I just found a reason to split the Pellenor Fields box with a friend....
Do more! ❤️
Does this mean that your army can have as many boys as you want with the new rules?
Yes you are not limited by the number of Rangers because they are Heroes
I want GW to bring back War of the Ring
Unfortunately that is probably not going to happen for a long time :(
