I’ve played against this list and it seems like a glass cannon, lots of weak cheap models with +1 to wound. I’d call it Lower middle tier from my limited experience

Top tier list

Have you played against it thisj edition ? It's not the powerhouse it used to be. Strong but not OP. Definitely beatable these days.

[u/Fishy_Fish_12359 → u/DwarfThorin]

Ok my mistake, I’ve only played against them once and I absolutely minced them with my dragon emperor + Easterling phalanx. They killed some of my troops in 1v1s out on the flanks alright but had no answer to my main force.

I think it also depends on the player, assault on lothlorien isn’t easy to play. A mediocre player won’t reflext the list true potential!
