Both stunning armies. I like the autumn colour scheme on lorien elves.

[@Leptys18]

Theses elves looks amazing! How did you paint the gold and the red?

[@sergeantb708]

your tape measure kept looking like a garlic dipping sauce and i got hungry

[@jerzysikorski4846]

That's was awesome! Great minis and terrain, also excelent tactics :)

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Beautiful rep guys. Do love how you can face ur balista sideways and still shoot it xD

[@beardyfluffbag]

Should have channelled blinding light every day of the week

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

I see you're a man of culture

[@muesliman100]

Especially because the ballista would keep on firing during the combat when galadriel has a bunch of important other spells to cast as well

[@hunsler1006]

Man that was brutal for those elves, Sebastian doesnt seem to get much luck on the channel 😅

[@joshmortimer3433]

my lothlorien army looks very similar to this, so gutted they lost.. but nice batrep, just subscribed.

[@Dimanti88]

Is that guard tower made from a Rohan house set?

[@17blaziken]

Wait, why you did not shoot in combat with crossbows?
If you killed the dud in the middle you could have prevented the heroic combat

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

People don't play perfectly in batreps 😅 Mayor is trying to film, get the rules right and then work out the best way to win, he's going to miss optimal plays occasionally 🤷‍♂ - Onod

[@17blaziken]

@@thehobbybreakfastshow i was thinking he thought he couldn't, which is a common mistake we do to (because generally you don't want to harm ally, but in this case it could have been a good idea)

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

Thanks for the suggestion! I can confirm however that many an Uruk has died by my hand from friendly fire. - Mayor

[@Jewus19]

aaaand the nerfs are in :D for example ballistas only rerolling 1s to hit and on scatter.

[@craig3111]

Love to see the uruks putting in a shift. Good shooting to start softened up the elves.

[@babisdikiozoglou5296]

This is the worst LL i had played against. My opponent had 2 ballistas in600 pts and a full bunch of crossbowmen. It was the worst game in my life, i think that they must nerf it

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

I feel your pain, assault on Helms deep can be brutal. I don't know if it needs a nerf though, I think there's definitely skill needed to pilot the army, especially when deploying it. I think its more just that going up against a horde of crossbows and ballistas is a real feel bad.... - OT

[@muesliman100]

@babisdikiozoglou called for aid and GW shall answer
(Ballistas now only re-roll ones for to hit and scatter as of the August faq)

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

@@muesliman100 We can thank babisdikiozoglou personally

[@muesliman100]

@@thehobbybreakfastshow if only he d also asked for an emperor nerf 😬

[@frederikschulze8218]

why is "the mare" always playing the ANTI horselord faction? makes no sense...

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

Nice 😂 - “Mare”

[@frederikschulze8218]

0/10 batrep, did not explain dice symbols before the game

[@thefinalseries]

I’m still confused as to why Scott is being called Sebastian? 🤷‍♂️

[@thehobbybreakfastshow]

I could ask you the same, "thefinalseries" ;) - Mayor
