- Our biggest battle ever! It took 13 hours to play - all in one day - and was so much fun!
I (Jake) controlled SAURON, a smattering of trolls and 240 orcs! Aaron and Louis took control of the combined forces of RIVENDELL and NUMENOR.

As a Last Alliance player, this was an amazing battle report to watch. Thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work in this video. I’m looking forward to the 3000 subscriber special now
They're absolutely my favourite army! We have a few ideas for 3000 points but if you have something you'd like to see, I'd love to hear any suggestions!
@@twotreesgaming I will get my thinking cap on for sure, haha
@@twotreesgaming here a suggestion 3000 points of The Men of The West Legendary Legion vs 3000 points of The Black Gate Opens Legendary Legion
I love this idea and we have something similar in the pipeline (currently converting 8 Nazgul between us to make it work!) but it won't be in time for the 3k subs 😁
Ever since I laid my hand on the first rulebook (2001) I have dreamt of this last alliance scanario. Finally someone made it, well not completely to the setup in the book, but close enough. And what a game that was. Fantastic format, brilliant voice over and suberb editing. Well done.
Thanks so much! Yeah it was a dream of ours too! I wonder how many people actually played the original scenario with all metal models as they were back then. Also, had to edit it - no Sauron in the original! 😅
Great batrep. Thanks for putting in the 10+ hour shift to make it happen !
No problem! So glad that so many people are enjoying it.
Epic bat rep, genuinely amazing, loved the theme, seeing so many heros and learning how Sauron works. Thanks for doing and looking forward to Nov/Dec for the new batreps. Thanks
Thanks so much! Already looking forward to getting back making them next month!
Fantastic video gents. Absolutely loved it, hats off to you for all of the work that went into that and the 1000 subscribers mark. Looking forward to more in the future!
And kudos to the Last Alliance!
Thanks so much! Just want to get cracking on the next batch now!
Top quality bat rep. As we've come to expect from you guys! Awesome job. Can't wait to see what's next
Thank you! Hoping it will be even better 😁
Crazy huge and epic bat rep! Thanks for all the hard work you put in it! Love it!
Thank you! So many people are already enjoying it, it's well worth the effort 😁
Phenomenal work on this video! The game was great and the effort you put into the battle report definitely shows!
Thanks very much! We're still learning how to film (and play!) so really glad everyone is enjoying them so much! 👌
Amazing batrep, congrats on the 1k, very well deserved!
Thanks, almost exactly a year since we started the channel!
Great to watch! Thanks for posting!
And thanks for watching! 😁
Wow this is just amazing. I didn’t even think that this was possible but you proved me wrong. On behalf on everyone here keep going, don’t doubt your abilities and strive for absolute perfection and beyond. We will be rooting for your success and support you to the end. I wish you the best 😊
Very kind words! We are most definitely striving to keep improving- and very much enjoying it in the process! Thank you so much for your support. 😁
1:16:06 You guys did an amazing job with this. The fact that it was a single day/night was almost as impressive as taking down Sauron himself.
I know you all put in a ton of effort into painting all those models, editing, and setting aside time to play a game of this magnitude.
As a viewer, I loved the kill count between Elves and Numenor. A little game within the game! Very fun, creative and engaging.
Appreciate everything you guys do!
Thanks, comments like this really make my day! 😁 It was such a massive effort that we said we'd have to wait at least a year before we did another game that size... but here we are planning our next one to play asap 😂🤦♂️
Loved it man! AWSOME report!
Thanks! 😁 hopefully lots more to follow!
Phenominal work guys.
I've never witnessed Sauron die in MESBG before, so good to see him finally take an absolute kicking!
Haha if he could roll higher than a 4 it might have ended differently! Glad you enjoyed :)
I saw him survive over 50 wounds a long time ago in a massive multiplayer game at a GW store. It was insane.
No way- I bet that lasted a while!!
Amazing battle. Amazing minis. Good video. Subscribed.
Thanks so much! Hopefully lots more to come after a mini break!
Awesomely Epic battle report. Inspiring stuff
Thanks! :) It should come with a "Don't try this at home warning", 13 hours is a long time to play..!
Brilliant video! Unbelievable ending with all those wounds!
That's why I saved the Might! 😂 Glad you enjoyed!
This was a really fun watch, I love your humour and the editing with scenes from the movie etc is great! Got yourself a new subscriber
Thanks for subscribing! By "humour" I assume you mean Aaron complaining he had to keep playing 😂
Really enjoyed this. Can't wait to see what you bring in the future.
Thank! 😁 Still early days for the channel so they'll be a scattergun of different stuff after a lil break- but there will definitely be more big ones like this! 👌
GO Rivendell! Congratulations with the 1000.
Thanks! Kind of crazy tbh!
Keep it going man nice to see you guys increasing the stakes with the larger games.
Thanks! Got a couple of smaller campaigns on the horizon, but there will be plenty more big to come!
This was awesome! Definitely got a new subscriber here
Thank you! 😁
I was waiting for this batrep since I first saw the preview ❤
It's taken us a while to get here but we really wanted to hold it as a 1000 subscriber special! Hope you enjoy!
Loved this thanks so much! I was routing for Sauron don’t you worry 😅
😂 that makes two of us... nasty little elveses....
Thanks for running this battle report so that I don't have to! 😂 it really highlights what a wet fart Sauron is. Such a cool character deserves to have a fearsome presence on the tabletop but he's just so, so bad! Granted it's nigh on impossible to kill the guy but he just doesn't do enough to earn his points. Well done for powering through, I'd have been getting pretty salty at his duel rolls towards the end!
His Duel rolls definitely let him down in this one, a couple of big hits out could have changed things- and fight 9 vs fight 10 really is so much worse, I'd rather have a Balrog!
Probably the best lort battle report out on youtube
That's very kind (and probably incorrect!) and we will do our best to top it soon! :D Much appreciated.
Simply awesome. Brings back the good old days when I still collected Middle Earth SBG. Would do again but id have to remorgage my house or sell my kids lol
Haha how many kids do you really need is the question..! It really is a great game system, we've been lucky enough to be playing for the whole run so half the money spent on these models was twenty years ago!
That was awesome, I’ve never played the game and had no idea what was going on but it was entertaining, thanks!
Ah brilliant! Hopefully we'll put out a "learn to play" type video in the not too distant future which may be of interest. Glad you enjoyed it, really is a great game system.
@@twotreesgaming I look forward to more of your content keep it up :)
Phenomenal, especially the ending.
Thank you! It was crazy! 😅
This is the most amazing battle report ive seen. 10/10.
Thanks very much, that's probably a little too kind but I'll take it! 😁
Great report, looked like a slog to film. Looking forward to future games. Like the idea of the fellowship campaign. Hope evil gets a victory
Was great fun, but definitely a slog! 😂 Very excited for the Fellowship campaign myself too, we've put a couple of twists on it that I'm hoping people will enjoy! 😁
Amazing vid. Very excited to see the battle companies series. Awesome to see a battle report vid get to 34k views!!!!!!
It's crazy! Absolutely chuffed to bits with the response - it's got more views than the whole rest of the channel combined!
Real life has got in the way a bit so will be a little while but Battle Companies will be coming soon, hopefully worth the wait 😁
Just got the paints out and this video popped up! Great timing! 🎉
Nothing better than painting to a Bat Rep! 😁
@@twotreesgaming watched about half so far. It's great, so interesting and fun and well presented. Prefer this over zorpazorp
😂 don't say that too loud, don't want to anger the Zorplord! Genuinely, he's the man but thank you!
@@twotreesgaming he's the champion of click bait these days 😂 you are on to a good thing, keep it up and I'm looking forward to what you publish next 🙂
This is absolutly incredible. I cant even imagine how long this took to do but worth it.
Hadn't Anárion already been squashed by a rouge rock by this point though :P
Thanks! :) Just Googled that and yup, he's dead. This is Isildur's other, lesser known brother... also called Anarion...
@@twotreesgaming Great save I love it. xD
Awesome battle report! Glad you guys made it up to 1k Subs! Still love your guys' videos!
Unfortunately though, I don't believe Cav models can spear support. I think they have to be infantry to spear support. Can't wait to see your next subscriber special!
D'oh! 🤦♂️ There's was always going to be one mistake in a 75minute video..! This was filmed six months ago and we are getting better at the game so do stick with us with the rules.
So glad you're looking forward to it, we have a few good ideas for 3k subs! 😁
@@twotreesgaming always happens, we all learn every time we play the game :) can’t wait for 3k then! Looking forward to it!
What an amazing effort + 1 sub for that.
Thanks! Very much appreciated.
Best battlereport i've ever seen!!!!!🎉
Haha thank you very much!!
First time watching but very well done.
Thanks- we're still pretty new here!
Well this is absolutely brilliant keep up the good work love the style
Thank you! 😁
That was a great game! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Was great fun to play!
Hell yes! This is epic guys 🔥
🙌 It really was!!
thx for battle report ,👍
No problemo! Plenty more in the works. :)
So good. I play a lot of elves so love to see Elrond doesn't just fluff rolls for me. Keen on some two trees dice I'd you ever sell any
Now this is an idea I like! And I'm hoping by "Two Trees Dice" you mean, with our logo on - not some that roll 1s all the time like we do..! :D
First of all congrats for the 1000 subiscribers, you deserve all of them and even more.
What an earthpounding game, especially the last turns!! Big games like this are always hard and tiring to play but in the end they give you great satisfaction (Some months ago I played a 3vs3 Helms Deep siege with 6000 points in total and the outcome was undecided until the last turn)
Imho I would have focused Gil Galad from the beginning with Chill Soul: his Fight 9 was a real pain in the a.... to deal with XD
Instead with Elendil and Gil Galad I would have saved more Might points in the beginning even at the cost to loose the horses.
Congratulations again and cheers from Italy
Thank you so much!! Blows my mind that there are people in all different countries watching.
I couldn't agree more about Gil-Galad in hindsight. Although, sauron was very unfortunate in the end game to not finish him off!
Helms Deep is on the wish list, I'm very jealous! Just need to make one first...
Also please feel free to share in whatever the Italian MESBG Facebook group is! Unfortunately my Italian isn't so good..! 😁
@@twotreesgaming I’ll gladly do it ❤️ mamma mia! XD
Epic battle! Hope to see Helms deep soon 👀
Thanks! And it's on the list 😅
Hey guys, just discovered (and subbed to) y'all's channel! First of all, absolutely awesome game. Very cool! How long did it take y'all to play a game with that many individual models? Also, I love the way y'all do the video. The circles (stylish circles!) showing where the action is is awesome. I also really like the hero stats with the little card that y'all put up on the screen. And finally, the side bar showing turn number, priority, and kill count was really awesome. All around fantastic, looking forward to watching more of y'all's stuff!
Thanks, was a great game to play! It took us 13 hours!! Don't try this at home! 😂 Thanks for all the nice words and sub, I would add to not get super into the kill counts and use them as a guide rather than hard facts because I sometimes mess them up! 😂
Amazing. So themey
Thanks! Matched play is great but you can't beat a scenario!
This is so awesome!
Thank you!! 😁
Great video guys
Thanks! Hopefully lots more to follow after a little break.
44:43 "Oh my God what's happened?"
"You've run out of orcs."
LMAOOOOOOOOO
Honestly, you'd think 240 would be enough..!
Amazing! Sauron is the best 🔥🔥🔥
So good - although I would love them to release a new plastic or forge world kit of him!
From ~780 to 1.45k in a few months. Congratulations!😁👏👏
I know! It's blown our minds tbh, still feel like plucky upstarts but great to have a bit of a following already. 😁
I feel your Pain at 11:23 for the 46 Orc models you painted for this "short video footage", but let me tell you, that from a viewer perspective, it looks so amazing and wonderfull to see this full Battlefield with painted models.
So really apriciate the hard work you guys put in to this.
Awsome Video!
😂 at least I've got them ready for if we ever need 240 orcs again! So glad you enjoyed, thanks for the comment!
@@twotreesgaming haha yeah, maybe you can use them for big 500 orcs Minas Tirith Video^^
😂 it's on the bucket list!
@@twotreesgaming yeah nice, i'm looking forward to it
I remember when the very first box set for the game came out and out local GW had an event where they asked everyone to bring their painted models from the box so they could set up a massive last alliance battle. The box had goblins with numenoreans which was a bit weird, but it was still a lot of fun.
I remember the set well! Such a weird mix of warriors and troops- that Last Alliance sprue is still a frustration now! Great idea for an event though, we should maybe try that for Pelennor or similar..!
Loved this!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!!!
Exelent video!!! Greetings from Argentina!!! 👏💪🍻
Hola! Thank you so much for watching! And as a huge football fan, a belated congratulations on your World Cup win! 😂
If there is an Argentinian Middle-earth facebook group or similar that you think would want me to drop videos in, feel free to let me know and I'll make sure I do! 😁
Don’t know anything about this game system, but respect. Was a great watch.
Much appreciated! All you need to know is the games are normally a tenth of that size so don't be put off by how long it took! 😂 Hoping to do a beginner friendly tutorial type thing at some point. 😁
@@twotreesgaming Cheers mate.
Great batrep, hope to see a helms deep or Mina’s Tirith siege soon
Thanks! We have many things in the pipeline..! 😅
EPIC!
Truly! Hopefully we'll top it at some point!
See you at warhammer world! Met you briefly last year too
Definitely pop over and say hi, we'll be somewhere near the tables with the high numbers..!
This is so cool
Thanks! Was great fun to play 😁
perfect, just in time for lunch
Bit of a long one this time, might last a few lunches 😂
Just found the channel! Amazing stuff about to binge watch. Where are you guys based in the uk?
Awesome, thanks so much! There will be more stuff going up in the spring, just had a very busy start to the year. We're scattered all over actually but we mostly play in Edinburgh.
Holy shieet 5000 pts o.O
It was a lot of orcs to push around!
Yeaaaaah! LotR!
Oh yeah!
Epic!
Very - took a lot longer to play than we thought it would!
@@twotreesgaming Thanks for your work!
What a brilliant epic battle !!!!! Have to say I was really desperate for Sauron to win a combat at the end and do some damage. Great to see you never stopped smiling regardless.
Yeah that was painful!! He just needed one or two big swing arounds before a load of wounds got piled on him!
Just rewatching this masterpiece miss your content hope to see more in the future
Thanks! Won't be long now, double definitely some things up by the end of May latest. We were waylaid... 😅🧙♂️
@twotreesgaming excellent are any of you at whw doubles ?
Yep, can't wait! Although not painted anything for it yet obviously... 😂🤦♂️
@@twotreesgaming excellent got my Mrs with me her 1st ever tournament and will be 3rd game we will have to make a team for the quiz again see you soon ps me neither haha
Sounds like that could go either way! It'd gonna either be great fun or very stressful 😂 see you there!
Awesome :) next time do 20,000 points 😂😂😂😂
😂 I think we'd still be playing now! But have got the next one all planned out now though and it is more points than this one, looking forward to regretting that 😁👌
Hey guys! At 13:23 ish an Orc Tracker is killed but you increment the Mordor count. Excellent batrep though!
Oh yeah. 🤦♂️ this is why it's a bit janky at the end, very hard to actually keep track of!
Either way absolutely loved the game! Great watch!@@twotreesgaming
I’m subscribed, where is my complimentary Orruk-hai? 😂
Haha! 😅
Sauron rule is totally OP.
Generally in Matched Play you wouldn't have to bring him down in there defence... he is a beast though!
Poor Sauron had the worst case of stage fright...
😂 absolutely... There were quite a lot of men and elves staring at him in his defence...
Where did you get the mat from it’s perfect
It's Realm of Fire Mousepad mat from DeepCut Studios. Got about five from them and they're all really good but would definitely say the upgrade from cloth to mousepad is a must.
We generally buy from Element Games in Manchester - elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/gaming-and-accessories/deep-cut-studios/realm-of-fire-6x4-mousepad
If you do, let them know you came from here - don't have an endorsement yet, but wouldn't mind one! :D
@@twotreesgaming thank you so much, awesome battle report.
Gil galad being fight 9 just seems overpowered! Sauron can survive but he’s easily immobilised here using strikes etc and being outnumbered. Should have had him in the front lines to chop up troops from the start
Yeah he's crazy! I think they were mainly wanting to keep him safe to deal with Sauron...
I think the good army should have all been on foot to keep with the film version! Having them mounted plus all those cavalry units seemed unfair on the poor orcs.
Haha not sure you need to feel sorry for orcs! But in hindsight I do agree, as much like the film as possible would have been the way to go.
Why did you guys decide to play the scenario without the orcs respawning like they normally do in that scenario?
Because the one in the book only asks for 72 orcs and we had 240- 13 hours playing was long enough..! We got the idea for the game from the original 2001 scenario from the book with the wraith on the front.
1:03:20 HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA !
Haha! All the heroes in the game, and that is also my favourite bit! 😂
How are you all?
Are the coming more videos in the future?
We're good thank you, but we've been delayed more than we'd hoped. New videos from the end of May latest, hopefully much sooner!
Sauron seems more use as a spell caster than fighter. He’s got attacks and strength etc but just too easily nullified by other heroes and always seems to go battles without doing much damage. Feel he should get a buff to help him win fights. Like even blade roll offs are negated and Sauron wins 1-4 or something. Or maybe a free might point each turn
A free point of might, might make him unkillable. 4 dice are normally enough. And against single heroes, don't bother striking up. Because even if that hero wins the fight, he is not gonna kill Sauron and Sauron can simply squish him as soon as there's no might to strike up again.
Our Sauron was particularly unlucky! Normally you'd get a few swings out and be able to deal some big damage. But I do like the idea of cancelling the elven blade - Gil-Galad doesn't exactly do much damage to him in the lore!
The lord of the rings 😍😍😍😍😍
I remember watching the opening scene in the cinema all the time ago and that was it - hooked! :)
I just started collecting age of sigmar, anyone knows if this kind of last man standing battle is possible over there? i dont like these point holding objectives
I've never actually played Age of Sigmar but I'm sure you could agree with your opponent beforehand - there is something much more satisfying about a good kill 'em all! 😂
There were dwarfs in the war of the last alliance, right?
Yup, but not in the film. If all goes to plan, we'll revisit this at some point in the distant future and do an even bigger book version. 🙌
Did they make Numenor horsemen?
Not yet! Isildur has a horse option, the captain and Elendil are conversions.
@@twotreesgaming Ah okay I see. Are they planning on doing Numenor Cavalry?
@15:11 you can't spear support as a cav model
Yeah, we know that now 🤦♂️ I'll take it if that's the only error from about 500 combats 😂
Do you think SBG is balanced? I always thought elves and dwarves were unstoppable!
I do actually. Been to about six tournament's now - all using very different armies - and found that it's similar players in and around the top but the armies vary quite widely. Sometimes you get a frustrating match up - "kill the most models" and you're playing against Fellowship for example, but on the whole it seems to be much more about player skill than stats.
What, no Dwarves?
That's the 10,000 point version... GW gives us Orophin and Second Age dwarves and we're there 😂
Sauron + 10 Balrogs + All Ring Wraiths + Gulhavar + 30 Castellans of Dol Guldur + Smaug would have destroyed this Last Alliance of Men and Elves
Haha too right... now you're making me want to go full 1st Age with an army of balrogs!
From France and last alliance player , this is INSANALY COOOOL
Thank you and congratulations on picking the coolest army in the game 😉 Please feel free to spread word of our channel in France! 😁🇫🇷
Hey Boys, Congratulations on hitting a benchmark. I'm proud to be one of them. Circa subscriber # 120 or so. I still watch the older games and always get something more I missed! Mikey V.
I think you might be half our views then! 😂 It's a real pleasure, and genuinely all this early support goes such a long way- we really, really do appreciate it!
nioce
Thanks! 😅
Thanks!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel, its content and game analysis! I really do want more and more tactics. It provides for a great learning experience. Best of luck to the Three Musketeers!! ( and Louis LOL)
O.M.G. this is insane! Thank you so so much!! The tactics shall continue, don't you worry! If you've got a particular army or scenario you'd like to see in a game hit us up and I'm sure we can put something together. (I'll make sure I pass the good news on to Louis too, he's our real tactics mastermind of course 😉)
@@twotreesgaming You are quite welcome. Buy lunch, coffees and a more armies. Do you have a Black Gate? I'd like to see a gate scenario. I built one but don't know what to do now! Haha. Can I establish my own defence for it or are there stats I don't know about? I think Helm's Deep also has a gate scenario. Anything will do to sate my curiosity. Thanks for all you play, film and the sublime editing!! Take care and I'll see you when you post again.
Brill, we can certainly accommodate a gate scenario/siege of some kind- might be six months down the line because I have a backlog, but will be in our mind! Also do have a black gate ready to build into a board so that could be a winner, watch this space and thank you so much! 😁
Fantastic stuff ❤
Thanks! We'll have some new stuff out from this week 👌
