The best
The push towards ads has been really off putting. I’ve actually unsubscribed here. I will carry on listening via my YouTube premium account where it’s not interrupted.
I have listened to about half the podcasts now and find them to be really informative and they have such a unique format style which I like.
Your detailed reviews on characters and armies are second to none! (Genuinely!!)
Thanks for the casts

I started from ep1...now fair warning the audio quality started shakey but improved tenfold each episode after.
Great knowledge and an insight into other lists and armies you may not see often. All cast with differing play styles means there's one that'll likely suit you.
Can't recommend these guys enough

This show centers on Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game (MESBG) strategy, lists, and rule discussions, with frequent guests and hosts breaking down army choices, tournament experiences, and updates from new books and FAQs. Recent episodes emphasize beginner-friendly armies, patron-submitted lists, and live-tournament insights, often featuring strategic takes on key units, balance changes, and meta-shifts driven by new releases and FAQs. A notable strength is the mix of in-depth list analysis, playful banter, and guest diversity (pro players, content creators, and event participants), which helps listeners pick up tactical ideas and stay engaged with the competitive scene.
