Amazing video Jacob. These are the best videos you produce, this type of thing and the conquest champions league. So interesting seeing how top players analyse and play the game
@@ConquestCreationsyou shouldn't I think S4 needs to be an epic final of this set of rules, including everything that will probably go away Adding something like: VP's scored if you consistently use special strikes etc. That way we get a final goodbye from a set of rules we all loved ❤
Great video! The only thing that made me mad was that I've been painting my Lothlorien army blue and gold, and now I wish I had seen your color scheme first! Looks awesome
as a corsair player i can say that elves are absolutely the right choice. (knife ear gits) but think i would have gone pure rivendell as a better counter. cirdan gets you blinding light for cheaper plus combat buffs and someone like elrond or glorfindel gives you a real edge over his combat heroes. also the army bonus makes your shooting even nastier.
My first thought was Cirdan. The blinding light and Aura of Dismay would have been very helpful however I was limited by the models in my collection and haven't gotten my hands on a Cirdan yet!
Lovely battle report. It was a little bit painful seeing all the massive kill potential of those cavalry go unused for most of the game though! A flank around the burned out house could have been devastating! But then, I'm a greedy and aggressive player - they could have been shot to bits.
Man this was one of the best battle reports, love competitive insights, but totally not a huge fan of list tailoring though. Beautiful models on both ends!
@@pineomt By bad i mean the perception that it's somehow unfair or OP. IF you watch a lot of MESBG aussie content this seems to be the view but a million bow shots and siege engines are W/E.
I think the point Jacob was making wasn't that magic overall was bad, but that in his opinion Transfix (and the transfix that occurs after a compel) isn't a good mechanic for the game. -Alex
Thanks for the comment, in my list writing rules I said I also don't like armies that rely on shooting. 14 bows and 2 siege engines in very significantly worse than a magic heavy army. Other Aussie RUclipsrs may think that shooting armies are fine but I am 100% the opposite. Shooting heavy armies are very unfun in my opinion.
I tried! 😅Definitely a tough matchup, and in most tournaments the elves would have run out of time. But in the end everything coming down to a few courage tests and Dalamyr dying was a close one! -Alex
Thanks for this comment, it is very helpful to get feedback like this. I accidentally reset the microphone and recording settings in-between filming the body of the Battle Report and the intro and didn't manage to match them perfectly
No argument there. Kylie is definitely the strongest player is Aus, and gotta give her credit for helping me become a better player too! Although we probably need a rematch soon.... Alex
I haven't seen Kylie win any tournaments in 2024 so there is no way she could be the current National Champion. I have mainly seen her coordinating tournaments this year, being on the TO panel for Clash of the Titans and Masters
Out of curiosity, was this game played with a tournament-like time limit? Hanging back and shooting for the long game is frequently not viable when you're on the clock.
No time limit for this one. It may have made the game quite different but while filming there is a significant amount of time added to capture the game so it would have been difficult to make it both a good quality battle report and a timed game
Rohan can cheese most lists. Rohan is really good... even Jacob can win using Rohan this proves they only have blue matches... says an isengard player...
Does alex really proxy Haradrim raiders with serpent rider models? That would be snobbish af, but i think they are riders and not raiders, cuz raiders suck
Forgot to add it in the video but Alex was proxying his Delgamar as Dalamyr, shame on him!

tbh this was the best video you made so far, very fun watching competetive in a good quality
Man, what an awesome batrep! Really enjoyed watching a couple of masters go head to head. Keep it up, Jacob!
Amazing video Jacob. These are the best videos you produce, this type of thing and the conquest champions league. So interesting seeing how top players analyse and play the game
Really liked the idea behind the video; especially your detailed explanation for your army list.
Really enjoyed this! Especially the more detailed start!
More like this mate, competitive reports from you are great
Thank mate! I have been stuck in a bit of a limbo. I am very excited for the new edition but am holding off Conquest Champions S4 until it comes out
@@ConquestCreationsyou shouldn't
I think S4 needs to be an epic final of this set of rules, including everything that will probably go away
Adding something like: VP's scored if you consistently use special strikes etc.
That way we get a final goodbye from a set of rules we all loved ❤
I like the breakdown of army design, and getting a sneak peak at your display case
excellent work. battle reports are looking great
Both armies are incredible, and so well painted! Such pure delight for the eyes! Can't wait to see the video❤
Great video! The only thing that made me mad was that I've been painting my Lothlorien army blue and gold, and now I wish I had seen your color scheme first! Looks awesome
Great Video. Lothlorien are my favourite army. but I do feel for Alex on this one.
Excellent video Jacob - one of your best yet!
Even considering the result, those Silmaril dice are cracked
Fantastic video! Really would like more frequent uploads though. Hope you figure out your studioproblems!
Really great video! What a close one!

"no magic"
Runs Galadriel

Jokes aside. great show. loved watching it!

Best bat-rep videos in the MESGB scene Jacob! Always and instant click and instant Like

This was a great match! 👏
Nice battle rep !
Great bat rep. Maybe next time build lists for each other. See who comes out on top with very sub-optimal lists.
While I enjoy thematic armies I also would love to be educated into competitive, cut-throat army lists/gameplay every now and then.
Hey Jacob, new MESBG player looking to get started got any tips?
"I'm breaking these rules." Oh dear.
Did you do the Auto Standfast of Galadriel?😅
Thanks for the comment, I did, there are plenty of rolls that occur off camera. This game took over 2 hours to play so we needed to cut lots out
I will never understand the logic of magic is bad, but 14 bows and 2 siege engines is fine.
Why is “magic bad”?

@@OGEETOMO then I realized he has a general list building rule against magic…I don’t get it either.
I think the point Jacob was making wasn't that magic overall was bad, but that in his opinion Transfix (and the transfix that occurs after a compel) isn't a good mechanic for the game.

Was it me or did Jacob use a Citadel Guard for a Royal Guard dismount 🤔
I can neither confirm nor deny
Filthy list tailoring😂.
Corsairs did incredibly well considering that. One can really tell why Alex is the Lord of the Aussies!
I tried! 😅Definitely a tough matchup, and in most tournaments the elves would have run out of time. But in the end everything coming down to a few courage tests and Dalamyr dying was a close one!

Did you change audio for this video? It sounded a bit off
Thanks for this comment, it is very helpful to get feedback like this. I accidentally reset the microphone and recording settings in-between filming the body of the Battle Report and the intro and didn't manage to match them perfectly
Lets fcking goooo!
I dunno, I think Kylie from the green dragon is pretty good.( maybe better than Alex)
She’s the Magnus Carlson of the MESBG world in my opinion 😅
No argument there. Kylie is definitely the strongest player is Aus, and gotta give her credit for helping me become a better player too! Although we probably need a rematch soon....

Not exactly a fair match when you know what your opponent is bringing
That was the point (:
Definitely not a fair match! But it's always good to be tested, and playing against a list like that definitely did the job!
Alex
Fair doesn’t make the internet
@@jakemaclaine yes it does. There are countless fair games of this on RUclips

Best Australian player versus best Australian youtuber player.
Pin me to stir the other RUclipsrs

These were the original Haradrim Raider models being played correct as Haradrim Raiders. He chose them over serpent riders to be able to take bows
@@ConquestCreationsthanks for clarifying :) Was watching on my phone, so it was hard to see, while I also kinda forgot those metal version exist.
Alex trash talking Elf players to then immediately lose to Elves on RUclips for all to see makes me so happy
Elves still just as boring as before!
Alex
@@MtnGoatGaming bro I saw the Sil dice and thought you had it in the bag.
your audio sucks
