Loved Jordy’s movement at the start. Showed imagination
Absolutely broke my dwarves ankles
Easterling movement at the start was excellent. Dwarves did well to fight back and make it a game.
Love the battle reps guys really top quality!
Thanks for the comment. Jordy showed his skill in this game.
It takes a great army and some good tactics to pull out a win after losing that many roll-offs!
Also, that absolute Chad of an acolyte with the throwing weapon hero kill. Great stuff.
Nothing quite so exciting as a last-chance attack of desperation somehow sticking
Did you ever think of doing a narrative battle of the time when Bandoras Took, Bilbo's ancestor, cut the head off the goblin king and invented golf at the same time?
I really like how you edit your battle reports!
Thanks for the comment. I put a lot of time into these
It makes them so much easier to watch and it means they can be watched in one sitting which you can’t really do with most battle reports
Been waiting for a new Batrep from CC. Love them, as you learn so much.
We have a lot more to come! I am editing Conquest Champions Season 3 now!
What?! Its Christmas again already?!
Man this battle was so exciting to watch and i loved the armies and terrain. I backed the last kickstarter and looks like il be doing so in the new one that terrain looks sick 🔥
Thanks for the comment mate! I am glad you like the new one! It'll be out mid march
Great video! And I'm very curious to see the new project 😊👌
That early game movement was so good! I'll admit, I didn't think movement was that important but I totally take it back now.
I definitely would have used Thror’s might point to put the roll of a 3 up to a 4 to keep the Arkenstone going. Modifying this roll keeps him alive so much longer!
I was tempted to but it was worth keeping it because i needed it later!
Thanks for the match. Looking forward to the next battle report
Thanks for the comment! There are plenty more on the way
The Easterlings look awesome, I can't imagine what you paid for them to be shipped down under??? Forgeworld prices at around £300 for 25 miniatures, ouch 😜
Really enjoying these battle reports again. Was so busy last few months so I’ve had a cool time catching up!
Is there a chance you could do a tips/tactics/advice video to help push our ‘beginners’ play up to the next level, please?
Played a few tournaments now and really want to up my mastery a little 😀😀😀
beautiful mini's allround!
wish we had more to the death senarios. but great battle! :)
Great batt rep and loving your new scenery. Are we able to buy fully painted figured from 4th age? I dont think I have the space or supplies to paint up a new army.
Those esterling are Amazing! I also play aot and saw that carnage was painful 😅
Easterlings are just a pain, probably one of the best all-round armies at this point, especially when you're bringing the Dragon Emperor, who I'd argue is somewhat underpriced for what he brings. Didn't see it get mentioned, but were the Grimhammers using their throwing weapons on the charge? Feel like that would have been handy, given the acolyte's lower defense.
Thanks for the comment. The Grimhammers were always using thier throwing weapons they just didn't do much hahaha.
Easterlings are very strong. A lot of people really rate the Dragon Emperor but I don't find him that scary. With such a big base he is very hard to manuver. In this game he certainly didn't do much in combat.
@@ConquestCreations Ah, makes sense, I figured as much; Grimhammers definitely suffer a little when the throwing axes aren't doing any damage because of the 5 inch move limiting your maneuvering some.
And yeah, the thing with the Dragon Emperor isn't that he brings a lot in combat (although he certainly does, F6 with 3 might, an Elven blade, and 6 extra S3 attacks if he wins is pretty potent, base size or not, with Resistant to Magic), it's more that what he brings in terms of special rules and list building value is what puts his cost a little low imo. Even if you never try to maneuver him into combat, you're still getting a 6-inch banner, which, with the base size and the 'death ball' style of play that you'll generally go with with the Easterlings, covers the entire 'effective' battlefield, as well as a board-wide Stand Fast, which affects heroes and is free the first time, plus the 18 man warband he can bring. What really does it for me though is the combination of the free Black Dragon upgrade AND the 6 inch +1 fight value buff. Combined, those two special rules let you essentially take a pike block of 12 elves with pikes and 6 with sword and shield for about 40 points less (about 160 pts vs. about 200 pts.) than it costs to ACTUALLY bring the equivalent number of elves, but with more tactical value due to Phalanx, and that is huge. That's 5 extra regular warriors you can bring (give or take when you factor in Dragon Emperor cost vs. other heroes you'd be bringing) and still have the F5 block anchoring your line with the Emperor just chilling in the back til you really need him. Even with only S3, that is pretty tough for most armies to match, and that's without even getting the Emperor into combat, so the base size doesn't play as much into things I think. He's arguably a better support hero than fully geared up Boromir (who is an AMAZING support hero) and is still reasonably compared in combat for 40 pts less, and as a final addendum, you can always get off the palanquin late game, and have a pretty beefy hero and 6 free F4 D6 guys to tag objectives when your opponent is probably on the ropes numbers-wise. If you're forced to fight with him, it's a bit of a struggle, but you build the army so you don't have to rely on him fighting, and then he's incredible, definitely about 15-30 pts too cheap in my mind. Bump him up to 190-200 and I'm more happy.
That got a little long there, but I think I got the point out there.
@12:23 did these Grim Hammers throw their axes?
Loved the video mate, you need to come up to Brissy again! Help me take down these friggin Bears

Hey Tim!
There were a lot of throwing weapons in this game! They were always used when possible we just didn't capture it all otherwise there would have been a lot more editing. I am keen to get back up there mate! I am keeping a close eye on the tournament calendar
In the turn when balin got killed could you have used a will point to make the re-roll for the priority?
I love seeing the dwarves.
Excellent batrep mates! Not so sure about calling Easterlings courage bad though. C5 on all the warriors and a board-wide stand fast on the emperor is nothing to sneeze at
I totally agree with you. At that stage in the game it was his courage vs mine and with Thrain's Battle field wide stand fast that would keep my heroes around I had an advantage but I certainly underestimated their courage
What's the blue on the robes and armor paint on the Dragon Emperor in the Thumnail? It looks absolutely amazing.
Is that dwarf list 660 points? 120 each for thrain and thror, 100 for thorin, 55 for balin, 85 for dwalin, 180 for 15 King guard
Oh wow, hahahaha that is very unfortunate. I have brought this list to so many 650 point games. I wrote it years ago and literally never double checked it. That's hilarious!
I owe an apology to everyone I've played against with it!
The fact that you guys also call it 'Lord of the East' really amuses me!
Does Jordy have a blog? I’m interested in his painting
at 22:30 did balin got oneshot by a single throwing weapon? (maybe I missed young balin already losing a wound)
Terrain looks amazing mate, gives me the bfme game feels!
That was one of our big points of inspiration! I can't wait to show off the project when its done!
@@ConquestCreations that's awesome! Some mordor terrain would be cool as well, like the warg pits or furnaces!
I may have missed it but how many points are those armies?
Great video!
650 for this game!
Where we cancheck Jordy 2000 podcast on youtube? Beautiful painted minies especially the easterlings and nice game.
You can find it here: thetwotowerspodcast.podbean.com/
I have also added it in the description
@@ConquestCreations thank you.
@@smoothbrush4722 Hope you enjoy it mate :)

@@twotowerspodcast thanks for sure i will. Your painting is superb too. I like your mordors.
Easily the best Aussie RUclips channel. Much better than that guy with busted back and his friend with the Betty White and Nerf gun fetish.
My heart has been ripped right out of my chest

@The Last Alliance of Noobs and Men Given recent developments that rhyme with "yeet licks", I rescind my previous statement. Noobs back on top!
I’m surprised Jordie didn’t use his army bonus to try and make the game end early
well unfortunately the easterling army bonus is a bit silly here, you can only re-roll to CONTINUE the game, not to try and end it
- Two Tower Jordy
@@twotowerspodcast really? Apparently I’ve been playing wrong lol
Love the look of those dwarven buildings
First ayyyyy! 😂
Those Easterlings are gorgeous and fierce!
Ayy, I hope your enjoying the game!
Did you change lighting or fps or camera for this video?, usually I love your videos, but this time i had to stop watching.
Interesting there wasn't anything majorly different in my set up. What was the problem in it?
