Army & Profile Reviews (2018-2024 Era)

If you're looking for army reviews since the release of the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, you've come to the right place. Click the links below to check out several series tackling tons of factions:
  • First-Impressions (2018-2019) / Revisiting Army Reviews (2019): Big-picture overviews of each faction--what changed from prior editions, who's received a power-boost (or nerf), and what might army lists look like?
  • Armies of Middle-Earth SBG (2019-2024): A profile-by-profile breakdown for each faction, each faction's strengths and weaknesses, and links to other community resources.
  • The Bare Necessities (2020-2022): A look at core factions in the game, with an eye towards building balanced 700-point lists that can compete in all 18 scenarios.
  • The Stuff of Legends (2021-2024): A look at Legendary Legions and the trades that are made to run those Legions over traditional alliance-making.
  • In Defense Of (2022-2024): Taking a fresh look at models that get critiqued in the international community for one reason or another - and finding out what's good about them (and how to build your army to use them well).
  • Nemesis (2023-2024): Looking at strategies and models that can counter the nastiest, most dangerous profiles in the game.
  • Centaur's Top 10s (2023-2024): Reviewing the best units in different categories and what makes them good in filling that role.
  • Workbench Updates (2015-2024): A look at factions, but from a hobbyist's perspective (conversions, paint schemes, terrain, etc.).

  1. Hey guys, I noticed there isn't an army review for Khazad Dum, and two links for the Serpent Horde...is this simply an error, or a signal for a deep rooted hatred of the dwarves? :-)

    1. Definitely not a hatred for dwarves, as Tiberius and I play them quite a bit. ;-)

      As of right now, there isn't a dedicated write-up to Khazad-Dum in our Armies of Middle-Earth series, but Tiberius did a break-down when the new book came out (https://tellmeatalegreatorsmall.blogspot.com/2018/12/new-rules-part-viii-free-peoples-part-i.html), as well as a list-building post on their LOTR-era equivalent, the Kingdom of Moria (https://tellmeatalegreatorsmall.blogspot.com/search/label/Khazad-Dum).

  2. For some reason in your "Armies of Middle Earth SBG (2019-)" section one of the armies is labeled "We"

    I think its supposed to be Isengard.

    Thanks for providing all the quality content!

  3. I notice there is no Shire army in the ‘Armies of Middle Earth’ Section. Could we expect one soon, maybe?
