Haven’t watched yet, but looking forward to Sharkey’s Rogues being S tier (S for Sharkey)

52:00 Far Harad half-trolls mentioned at the pelennor

Man, I looooove me a noobs tier list. Never have I clicked a video so quick

51:00 Spitting truth here man! It would break the meta wide open if they were all green allies, but for the flavor I would accept all the armies that fought on the Pelenor Fields as green allies

Hey, I was the Dale player 😂 and it was a hilarious game that ended in a draw.
The scenario was assassination and we both broke each other. The most fun game I’ve had so far. 😂

Interesting video, might even make me do a U-turn on a recently placed order of Easterlings (Warriors MTO, Warriors, Kataphracts, Rutabi / Brogir and Amdur) to ally in to my Mordor.  Love the look of the Easterlings and those heroes are very hard hitting BUT I think a better ally would be Serpent Horde.  Other than the heroes, the Easterlings bring D6 pike block and Shieldwall cav.  None of it bad but Mordor isn't short of hard-hitting.  It is badly lacking shooting though and I think the Horde would bring a lot more that's of more value, especially with the Betrayer.

So that Ruffians image was from my event, The Battle of Brittain last week over at Atomic Cards in Swindon, and for added context it was Assassination between bog standard Ruffians led by Lotho vs Defenders of Erebor. Ended up being a draw XD.

I think low A is whwre easterlings belong.
Although i suppose it depends what criteria youre rating the faction on. If it's only the most competitive, maximised list, then i can see why you've put it there, even then, I've personally never struggled agaisnt the Dragon Emperor

I have a friend who placed 1st in a 20ish person tourney with Sharkeys Rogues. The key game was against Smaug. The Smaug played didn't realize it was impossible for him to win

Khand! Khand! Khand!

I think top of A would have been fine for easterlings, as a balance between the S tier legion and the army, which is rarely played outside the legion.
Curious about Harad (yet to listen). They appear in a lot of top placings, but always with Mordor and always with suladan. I guess It's kinda hard to rate armies that appear great on paper, but make results only in specific context

that blue warg tho
For angmar so true... wish they would nerf the ""spirits"" but improve everything else

Surprised you didn’t add LL into the video would be cool to see how you guys would rate them

Ok Easterlings are S in the LL but the factions should be ranked on themselves being a normal faction. A tier.

My IsenKhand list would give ya guys a run for its money 😉 lot more fun A tier

Yes! Milk it more!!! 😀 Legendary Legions could be easily 6 Videos more 😀! -> New year of video content planned ^^

hell yeah!!! pumped for this one. i predict angmar on top😅

edit: only B??? do you think the faq about in the ways for flying monsters hurt angmar a lot?

MESBG TIER LIST: Evil LOTR Faction. (Wrong) MESBG TIER LIST: Evil LOTR Factions. (Correct)

Some of those alliances are pretty wild - Umbar are only convenient allies with Mordor because they got ambushed on their way to fight in the army of Mordor? Meanwhile Isengard can't ally with their neighbours Angmar or Mirkwood, but can be convenient allies with Khand or Far Harad because "hey, you never know!"

You guys are great but man you Aussies have a real chip on your shoulders 😂
