I love the terrain, the gameplay, and how receptive you are of viewer feedback! If you are open to accepting more, I wonder if it may be helpful to have your interviews with slightly brighter lighting? We'd love to see you and your guests a bit more clearly!
Hey Jacob! Your battle reports are the best I’ve seen on RUclips - you do a great job of narrating the action, moving the video along where necessary, and then showing more detail for the big, important moments. A couple minor suggestions from my film production education: the lighting on the intro and outdo scenes where you and your opponent are introducing the video or debriefing are perhaps a bit dark. Some additional fill lighting would be nice (though I can see some people liking the dark “in a dungeon in Moria” aesthetic). Since you had a “dark side” of the board this time, another suggestion for you: get a very bright fill light and turn it on the ceiling. It will bounce evenly off the ceiling a provide a good, even fill light. Then add key lights from the front if you want to brighten the areas where the action is taking place. Make sure your keys aren’t so much brighter than your fill that the fill exposes as super dark. All of this is just in the spirit of being helpful, so hopefully I haven’t given offense. I love your videos and would keep watching even if you changed nothing.
13:31 That Elf was Elrond's top guy. If Elrond tells you that you're his top guy - you are his top guy. He was like: "Woah... Lord Elrond needs me?..." "Okay... I'll do it". "I'm going to bat for you Elrond." "I got your back Elrond." P.S. Ackshually Erestor is his top guy. He's such a beast (for his points/tier). P.P.S. Luv lore/theme appropriate battles like this one as opposed to stuff like Hobbits with Tom Bombadil wreaking havoc on Minas Tirith. "Alternate History" can be entertaining but some matchups can get just too silly to enjoy playing/watching (I dislike MESBG tourneys with unrestricted matchups because of this). P.P.P.S. Those blue gemstones on the High Elven shields look great! P.P.P.P.S. That was a great game! You're quite good at explaining/commenting on the flow of the game and I appreciate your camera work & editing skillz.
Amazing work with these new battle reports. Could you get the Green Dragon guys over to record competitive games? I want Kylie playing her Easterlings on screen!
I really enjoy your battle reps. My one bit of constructive feedback is to add a graphic banner to the side of the video showing each army and how many models and points they have. That way the viewer can know how many units both sides start with and whose winning the attrition battle. Have seen it used on some other battle rep channels and i think it would make your videos that much better
15:39 With having lost priority and the Elves already finishing their move, I would have LOVED to see Alex charge the Witch King into the Troll Chieftain’s combat. A Heroic Combat would have really opened things up for a Charge on the Elrond and/or Banner.
Good batrep. The lucky elf burning Fate off the Witch King was epic. Reminds me of the time when my rohan royal guard took out the witch king with a throwing spear. Battles of Erebor is a good choice. You have amazing terrain for that and the scenarios seem interesting.
So stokes for the feedback and games. Your armies are so pretty as always, without mentionning the boards. Im buying a 3D printer at boxing day, i will definitely buy your STL files. Keep it up guys
Nice Elf paint job. If the Troll had Hurled after his heroic combat, I wonder if it would have made any difference, probably not, but that's what I would have probably done. Nice terrain Jacob, when will you have all the sculpts and the Kickstarter live? Thanks
Amazing battle report, as usual. My only critique is the lighting when you're doing the player's intros. Otherwise, love all the new changes you've made and new terrain.
On 5.22 u said that u dont want to resist the black dart, which was casted on ur horse, but u cannont resist black dasrts/fireballs casted on ur mt's. U can do this only with shadowfax or when u have f.spirit casted upon u ;)
@@Competentetyler That's why I quite like Rivendell allied with The White Council and (mounted) Elrond + Galadriel, Lady of Light. (just those 2 is fine for the 500-600pts range depending on the amount of Riv Knights and adding in a cheap performer like Erestor for ~750 pts)
It's certainly in our plans. The reason we haven't done it yet is because I want us to get better at sculpting first. I want out elven project to be the best so don't want to rush into it before we are ready
Will we ever see the conclusion of the Conquest Creations Champions League Season 2? Or did I miss it? Great video production on this tho, very well done and enjoyable to watch.
Hey! Yeah unfortunately basically anything I attempted to pull off (especially with the Troll) just... didn't happen. Was still a fun game nonetheless!
Elrond couldnt have resisted the black dart anyways in the beginning as it targeted the horse. Just curious why it was presented as a deliberate choice. Really nice bat rep as usual though!
Hey! Basically came down to the potential VP swing. Even wounding on 3s, Elrond has 3 rerollable fate, and likely would have taken at most a single wound (1vp). Alternatively, killing that elf on the objective would have denied Jacob 2vps and given me 2. Would have been very close if that black Numenorean at the back didn't run away on Courage 5!
"Alex, what did you do in a past life to deserve such dismal failure?" - Quote of the match. The delivery - so sincere, so concerned. Poor Alex.

Insane battle report! That new terrain looks stunning btw, looks like the perfect terrain for many sorts of scenarios !

massive production quality upgrade lately, great content as always, congrats
Thanks for the comment. I am glad that the upgrades have not gone unnoticed
Incredible workmanship. It's great that there is a channel like yours on RUclips! I'm glad you can develop. Keep it up :)
Great 👏 Im very much looking forward to the new Kickstarter project 👌
Thanks for the comment Tiago. I am excited to get it finished off and released!
The production value of these new battle reports is so good. Love watching them!

love the new camera work, please keep it up. I recently started playing myself and I enjoy your videos a lot
Amazing work with these new battle reports. Could you get the Green Dragon guys over to record competitive games? I want Kylie playing her Easterlings on screen!
That would be awesome
Get them on
Yessss. The new building looks ace. Great report!
This is fantastic I’ve loved your channel from the start
But wow the quality just keeps going up and up
Well done Jacob
And thanks for the content
The new terrain looks fantastic! Great work as always!
Those elves are painted beautifully! Very very cool

Another great vid hot off the press! 😎 keep up the good work 😍
Nice stuff! Perfect length for a BR, props👍🏻
Another cracking bat rep! Great to hear better sound is on the way (as a massive audio nerd I love to hear quality sound if possible!)
15:39 With having lost priority and the Elves already finishing their move, I would have LOVED to see Alex charge the Witch King into the Troll Chieftain’s combat.
A Heroic Combat would have really opened things up for a Charge on the Elrond and/or Banner.
A massive improvement on the quality of the video. Awesome batrep.
Thanks for the comment, Hopefully we can continue to improve! Its been great upgrading everythign
Lovely painted armies and nice battle report
Loving the new scenery and love that witch king! Great work
Fantastic stuff!
Good batrep. The lucky elf burning Fate off the Witch King was epic. Reminds me of the time when my rohan royal guard took out the witch king with a throwing spear. Battles of Erebor is a good choice. You have amazing terrain for that and the scenarios seem interesting.
Always improving great job
Would love to see the battle at the black gate!
Great game, awesome content guys
Wonderful battle report and the scenery is amazing. Can you do also Elfish city scenery as well as Human city one (like Minas Tirith or Osgiliath)?
Great rep and happy to see the heroes sway the game so much!
Thanks for the comment! Middle Earth is all about the big heroes

Ooooft that was close. Class rep man
Amazing battle report, as usual. My only critique is the lighting when you're doing the player's intros. Otherwise, love all the new changes you've made and new terrain.
Thanks for this comment, note taken and on the video that just went out we have brightened it up!
@@ConquestCreations NP, just watched the new vid too. Lighting is perfect. Loving the new setup.
Awesome stuff😊
New terrain looks great and the studio upgrades are killer.
Classic elf shooting, need some riv dice mate.
Nice report 🤗
Can we have the color scheme for the Rivendell knights??? The green and gold looks wild 🙃
yo Jacob! feel free to use Gor Zathul in any future projects, take it its yours man. im happy just have made the finals. terrain looks great btw
On 5.22 u said that u dont want to resist the black dart, which was casted on ur horse, but u cannont resist black dasrts/fireballs casted on ur mt's. U can do this only with shadowfax or when u have f.spirit casted upon u ;)
Best reports on RUclips 🎉
25:15 that was... something
Do you think you could do a Pellenor fields battle report as you never see gondor stuff out there
With all these wonderful new battle reports in the new conquest studio, does this mean we'll be getting conquest champions league season 3?
I can't remember the last game I watched/played where Elrond's horse survived 😂
Great video though!
I was surprised to hear them discuss the option of resisting.
It isn’t an option at all as Black Dart targets rider or mount.
@Competentetyler I believe that historically, you could but it was FAQ'd?
@@RabtasticPaints Yes. FAQ’d. Very important to get Res to Magic, Fortify Spirit, etc. if you want that mount to stay alive vs Black Darts.
@@Competentetyler That's why I quite like Rivendell allied with The White Council and (mounted) Elrond + Galadriel, Lady of Light. (just those 2 is fine for the 500-600pts range depending on the amount of Riv Knights and adding in a cheap performer like Erestor for ~750 pts)
The loss of those Knights was truly painful.
GOONERS pog
hahaha happy to represent!
great bat rep great footy eh@@ajcolasante
New terrain looks insane. Any plans to make some Elven scenery on the horizon? 🙄
It's certainly in our plans. The reason we haven't done it yet is because I want us to get better at sculpting first. I want out elven project to be the best so don't want to rush into it before we are ready

Great New! Its been out for ages, you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/SShSU8_RrUM/видео.html
luv it!
Show us more Dwarves on your Dwarven terrain!
Thanks for the comment, we have a big one with Dwarves vs Easterlings on the way in the Kingdom of Durak Deep
Where did you get those Orcs?
These are the original Games Workshop Metal Orcs
Jacob played well as always but I can’t help but feel that Alex’s choices became kind of irrelevant due to bad luck 😂😢
Hey! Yeah unfortunately basically anything I attempted to pull off (especially with the Troll) just... didn't happen. Was still a fun game nonetheless!
It’s great to see Rivendell that isn’t riv knights!
great bat rep.
Thanks for the comment! There are plenty more on the way
Elrond couldnt have resisted the black dart anyways in the beginning as it targeted the horse. Just curious why it was presented as a deliberate choice.
Really nice bat rep as usual though!
I was thinking the same. Can't do anything against it (maybe horselord and faith but that is not stopping the black dart).
Why didn't he Rend elrond in the last combat?
Hey! Basically came down to the potential VP swing. Even wounding on 3s, Elrond has 3 rerollable fate, and likely would have taken at most a single wound (1vp). Alternatively, killing that elf on the objective would have denied Jacob 2vps and given me 2. Would have been very close if that black Numenorean at the back didn't run away on Courage 5!
