Glad I found your channel when I did. Been painting up my first black dragons and am excited to try them out later this year once I've picked up the rest of the army
Congratulations on your 1st and 4th placings guys :) I love the channel, i agree with fewer but higher quality videos. Id be interested in a tournament report/recap video similiar to this for Ardacon with your thoughts :)
Love the videos man, keep them coming. I would really like to know more about the tournament structure such as pts for Bye and specifically the scenarios that were altered as I might like to use this format myself. Thanks
If you're on Facebook at all, reach out to Michael Bradford or search for the northern Ireland GT page. You can get the full tournament pack that way :)
Amazing video mate. Congratulations on the huge win. On the topic of the Shire not winning a 2 day 1000pt event, recently we just had the Australian Championship run by games workshop and it was won by 'The Shire', My Question is "WHERE THE HELL IS THE TERRAIN????"
I've watched your easterlings strategy video a while ago and have been crushing my local scene with it at 500-600 points. It almost feels a bit like cheating or taking a cheesy min-maxed list. It's a lot of fun to play though and I really need to add more acolytes. However, for an upcoming tournament I'm considering a less competitive list at 750pts: Helm's Guard. Still not sure if it's the right choice though since he'll instantly lose against magic. Maybe I'd still go for easterlings ^^
First of all: congratulations on the achievement! Second: damn you now my friends will go on until end of time saying Easterlings are broken and calling me names. Thanks for all the quality content, I regularly go back and rewatch your Factions videos. Now that I think of it...why haven't I subscribed yet? Because I don't know how to use socials. I'm going to fix that right now. Edit: I REALLY don't know how to use socials. I already was a subscriber.
The Tournament Point Scoring is very interesting. Im in Texas, and people would riot if a guy with less wins than another beat him in standings. But i get why people would want to do it differently.
Hello Kevin! I am going to the Netherlands in a few months and I would love to see if there are any tournaments or opportunities for games while I am there. Is there a way that I can message you?
You're in luck, there's lots of events in the Netherlands. Best way to talk to me or the community is to drop by the Dutch mesbg discord: discord.com/invite/WeZr3b88
Excellent video as always mate. Congrats on the results too. Your army also dodged any nerfs in the recent faq haha Here is a quick little look at a tournament held in Perth Western Australia recent... ua-cam.com/users/shortsJ39-9ipmCVw?feature=share
The Easterling LL doesn't typically use a lot of might. There are many turns where you don't mind the opponent having priority or doing a heroic move, if you've positioned properly. Rutabi's master of battle also helps. More numbers means more benefits from the emperor banner/bonuses, to the point where your warriors do all the work, and your heroes are just there to manage the opponent a bit.
@@lowlandswargaming1302 thank you very much for answering me despite being caught up in Ardacon! I see, that's something I actually argue a bit with a friend of mine. I say that the Emperor has flipped the Easterlings upside down, because they used to be Heroes-focused and now they are troops-focused. He disagrees. I may feel the need for Might since he used to play Lame Town Soup and bring to the table some 15 might. God I love the latest FAQs and erratas. Since you've been so gracious to answer me I'll abuse of that and ask: no honesty bows?
Wait Ben... Ben?..... Ben! The dude is currently teaching me how to play this game at the moment! We've played a few games and now going to my first gameday this weekend. It's a small island Ireland 😅 💚🤍🧡
Would this be the one and only Ben Fitzpatrick? I unfortunately am missing the event this weekend myself. But I hope you enjoy it and we can have a matchup sometime soon
@@wookiesofmirkwood7780 Aye indeed it is, ah that is a shame, I'm finally getting into MESBG after being on the fence about it for years. Aye indeed hopefully we can get a game in one day though I'm sort of reliant on Ben or Alex to tell me about events as I despise Facebook
I dislike Facebook as well, unfortunately it is a necessary evil for international mesbg events. Thankfully for the Dutch events we've created a discord server for all of the players. Over 200 strong at this point!
Nice having you back, and congrats for the Tournament win
Paul is a good mordor player, but he never won against minas tirith hehhehehehe
*without gandalf
Great video Kevin! Was lovely meeting you and congratulations again on your win!!
Thanks so much mate! I had a blast!

Turns out my 80+ hobbit games were worth it
I guess that teaches me to never say never, haha!
Told you, you would win

Helm is a machine; take King’s Huntsman
Gigachad Easterlings enjoyer
Is playing a top 3 LL really a gigachad move lol
First of all: congratulations on the achievement!

😂 This comment was a roller coaster. Thanks for the support!
Also sorry not sorry

I did really enjoy it. It puts more emphasis on fighting for VP's rather than just cheesing out a win by leader kill or something.

May I ask you what made you prefer numbers over one more warband? Don't you think 8 might is kinda low at 800?

@@massimilianomorato5059 nah, bows are overrated. Daggers make their mounted heroes be a bit careful. Drum up and punch them in the face

Awww man Facebook is awful. As Kevin said it's a necessary evil! Il make sure Ben and Alex keep you well informed haha
@@lowlandswargaming1302 ah Discord is so much better, that sounds like something we need for Ireland and possibly for the UK too.
