We're back!
It's been a hot minute (okay, more like a year), but Tiberius, Centaur, and Rythbryt are back in action and ready to... rank legendary legions?
Personal preference controls in this snake-draft style discussion that's sure to entertain (we hope). Which legion will be selected first? Which will be left standing at the alter? And is a conversation Centaur had in an elevator single-handedly responsible for the state of the Dale legendary legion in Defense of the North? The answers to these burning questions--and more--lie within. So pick up a brush, get those drinks ready, and p ..read more

Happy Friday! Have we got a show for YOU today!
In preparation for TMAT's upcoming Grand Tournament, Tiberius, Centaur and Rythbryt have stumbled on THE hidden gem of MESBG. Having trouble with wizards? Blinding Light? Huge heroes? Elves with sneaky cloaks? Those annoying forests that pop up everywhere?
Well, no more.
Curious? We thought you might be. So join us as we devour some spilled beans.
It's a labor of love, from us to you. Happy Friday!

One year from when they first began this gargantuan project, Tiberius, Centaur, and Rythbryt are back, attempting to do the impossible: rank the top-50 slayer profiles for the forces of evil.
(No, really... it's very hard!)
In part 5 of their uber-slayer podcast, the TMAT crew discusses their top-picks in three underrated categories (all of which purposefully exclude the likes of the Witch-King, Azog, and Smaug): best budget slayers (under 101 points), best unmounted (man-sized) slayers, and the best generic (spammable) slayers that evil can field. There are some surprises (and surprising omis ..read more

Centaur, Tiberius, and Rythbryt discuss the newest flavor of the month: the Fall of the Necromancer legendary legions, with a special emphasis on what those legions do to make all-hero lists competitive--and how one might apply those lessons to other all-hero lists that are... less competitive... to improve them (like poor Thorin's Company).
Also, is magic OP? (That is the question.) Oh, and there are also some Black Riders hanging about. (Because when are they not?)

Well, it's finally that time.
After going through the top-10 monsters, casters, supports, snipers, and big honkin' things, the TMAT team is going to attempt the impossible: rank the top slayer models in the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game.
The epic journey comes to an end (for now) in Part 4, as Tiberius, Centaur, and Rythbryt roll out their picks for Good's top-10 slayers. Did your favorite model finish on top?
For more on our methodologies, and for further discussion on just how hard it is to rank heroes like this, you can also check out both Rythbryt's and Tiberius's  ..read more

In Part 3, Tiberius, Centaur, and Rythbryt finally crack the top-20... before stalling out at #11. There are a bunch of big names here, and more than a few disagreements. Who's claim to "top slayer" ran out of gas? And who's left standing as we finally approach the top 10?

In Part II, Tiberius, Centaur, and Rythbryt recap their escalation rounds (which featured a lot of elves, Rohirrim, and monsters). If you need a refresher on the lists, you can find them here:
