Thanks for the report, fun to watch! How do you feel about both armies? I liked Iron Hills in the previous edition and I'm thinking about building some Gondor next.
Thanks for watching! I haven't played iron hills as much but Jason did say he feels they kind of got nerfed. Dains master of battle is worse and the captain doesn't get a goat anymore. But with the changes of shield wall and heroic challenge, Dain can put out some serious damage and his army is even more resilient. As for Gondor, I think now is the time to play them! We just had a tournament and I think they have such a variety of good armies for all different points levels. Reclamation of Osgiliath is really good but has some hard counters like big monsters, cavalry based armies and Grima. But other Gondor armies definitely make up for some of those flaws. Have you had any games in this new edition?
@tolkienaboutgames Thanks for the answer! Sadly I haven't played in the new ed yet, we played with the old rules because only now has the box arrived here. Yeah I feel the same way about Iron Hills but mainly because of the limited field of fire on the ballista. But maybe it's time to try the chariot now, I don't know. Which other Gondor list apart from Reclamation is your favourite? Or which other factions/lists are you excited to play?
I forget the name of the Gondor army...but I think it's called Atop the Wall? It's the one with Gandalf the White. Love the versatility of it and gives you some serious buffs. Also I'm a big Isengard player so muster of Isengard is on my list to try next!
@@tolkienaboutgames Seems our preferences are much alike, just working on my Muster army! And Atop the Walls is one of my favourites too, but imho really wants that AoME book for Hurin, Ingold and the ballista. Maybe you can play Muster in the next report?
Hurin and Ingold are itching to be played! And that's a great idea! I will definitely play muster next! My next vid should be up Wed! I brought this list to a tournament! Thanks again for supporting my channel! It means a lot!
It gets worse. Denethor used his deep state connections to hire those orcs to "take over" Osgiliath so Boromir can come and take it back. The conspiracy theories are true man
Well Boromir is my favorite so it is very similar to gollum...I just can't get him go! I think that is going to be a challenge in this edition. Some lists require you to take a big hero. So if your favorite is only in one list you have to make due. This is the only list where Boromir can bring a banner and I just painted him lol. What would you recommend at 550?
@@tolkienaboutgames realms of men^^ but we will only get the full picture after the missing 2 books are released. this is only an early access version of our beloved game.
That's hilarious. It does have that feel of us beta testing it for them. Here is hoping they hear us out on what we want. I'm still waiting on those legacy profiles!
@@chehenry4962 You are totally right! He should have also had +2 to wound! Good catch. I'm sure Jason will be happy to know Boromir had a chance of dying that turn and kept a point of might. Thanks for the comment!
@tolkienaboutgames really enjoyed the BR. As a Gondor man myself I love the new Bozza profile. But the iron hills player needs to buy new dice. Them ones are cursed
Yeah, Big Bozz got some love with the extra fight value and +1 to wound on the charge. We have a tournament this weekend and I'm bringing this list. And funny enough I actually bought Jason those dice for Christmas last year....

The way Boromir goes on about the battle, you would think its the Reclamation of Gondor. It was one battle, jeez, everyone calm down.
It gets worse. Denethor used his deep state connections to hire those orcs to "take over" Osgiliath so Boromir can come and take it back. The conspiracy theories are true man
those two lists being lead by those two expensive heroes sure as gollums love for the ring are a handicap at this points level ^^

Does dain not have a two handed with burley and the new challenge gives additional +1 so the threes would have both mounded without spending might

@@tolkienaboutgamesPlease record a tournament report, just you talking about the games in a car on the way home or something is perfectly fine!
I'm actually attending a tournament today and was planning on recording a video like that! Will hopefully be up by Monday!
