Its our first episode of 2026 and we have wanted to discuss armies that you shouldnt take to events for a while - especially as Adam keeps calling us out for it! The intent was to take a fun look at it and not be a big moan...which I think we achieved!
We also discuss Richs stats for the year, how the guys got on at the GBHL Finale event and epic moments in MESBG from us and the community!
Adam is also a content creator.
Birdies world is an amazing channel where Adam offers tactical insights into the game, such as how to use magic, or different formations to use. It can be found here Birdie's World - YouTubeAdams podcast is his tournament reviews, where he offers insights into events and gives insight on how he performs.

Festive greetings everyone!
This week we are doing a special Christmas episode looking at lotr memes. The links for them are here:
Council of Elrond but it's a musicalThe Fellowship of the VuvuzelaLord of the Rings - Holiday Edition
This week we are joined by Tom and Dan, our teams experts in using siege weapons. They help us go through the rules and explain how to deploy, shoot, and the tactics they use when playing them.
Our Patreon subscribers chose an army for Dan to buy, build, paint and take to a tournament. He's finally finished it and taken it to two tournaments.
Join us in this episode as we explore further how army performed at the two tournaments as well as discussing how Dan found them generally as an army.

A well-known individual once stated, "Never give up," and we took that to heart. One of us has finally won a tournament through hussle, loyalty, and respect, but who could it be? Join us in today’s episode as we discuss three recent tournaments we attended. That notable person is John Cena. You can't see us, our time is now!

Part 2 of our Special Rules discussion.
https://linktr.ee/ahobbitspodcast
This week we go through all the Special Rules (similar to how we did spells in S2) to understand what they do, what units have them and tactics we use
This week we compare Strength values of profiles, weapons, spells, seige weapons and impact hits to see what stands out. THe key question to think is...what would you rather be punched by?
We couldnt convince Loz's wife to be our quiz master so went for Loz's brother instead. Rick is an excellent quizmaster and we have a lot of fun answering the quiz questions our community sent in.

This week we are joined by two experts in the Three Trolls to help us go through an army with potential, that hasnt been doing that well recently. Can Jonny (the one with the strong Barnsley accent) and Jermaine (the one with the strong Leeds accent) convince anyone to play this army?!?
This week we have Harry Parkhill from Entmoot podcast as a special guest. Join us as we go through the actors in the LOTR films, discussing how they got their iconic roles, how much they got paid, what films they were in before and after the trilogy and what other actors were considered for these roles. We really enjoyed researching this one and Harry was a perfect addition so we hope you enjoy it too!

In this mini episode Rich goes through some feedback we had on the episode Rich vs Aragorn - can the debate finally be settled?
This week we take a step back to understand the basic stats and to discuss any characters in the films that have too much, or too little resources!
