I see the word «strong» refers to a group of army in two contexts:
-
In this post:
We’re now a sub of nearly six hundred thousand strong
In this context the word «strong» refers to the subscribers of the subreddit.
-
In this game:
Here we go loading up for a huge strong
Here the word refers to a group of army about to be dropped to the opponent’s base.
But Oxford Dictionaries doesn’t count this as a meaning of the word. Is this the case the dictionary hasn’t caught up the usage of the word? Can it be used as a noun?

In your first example, «strong» is an adjective. The writer is not saying that the «sub» is made up of 600,000 «strongs». He’s saying that it is strong. How strong? 600,000 strong. It’s like saying «Bob is six feet tall» or «The river is 20 miles long.» He is attaching a number to an adjective.
I have no idea what the writer in the second example is trying to say. Perhaps he didn’t finish the sentence; he meant «loading up for a huge strong ATTACK» or some such. As given, the quote is not grammatically correct and doesn’t make sense.
I don’t recall ever reading or hearing «strong» used as a noun in a coherent sentence.

Although «strong» may look like a noun in «… a hundred thousand strong«, it still acts as an adjective phrase modifying «sub». This idiomatic expression is much the same as any other adjective such as «many» or «large»:
The khan’s army was large
The khan’s army was a hundred thousand strong.
«Strong» does sound like a noun in the second sentence, but if so is probably jargon specific to players of Starcraft. That being said, it’s possible the commentator misspoke and meant to say «throng», or that it’s a slang abbreviation for «a strong counterattack».
Or (as choster mentions) it could be «drop» — the video is edited at that point so the word is garbled. That sounds more reasonable for the context.
Otherwise I can think of no common use of «strong» as a noun, although of course you can always make up your own if it fits the context.

I’m not able to comment, so I’m putting this in an answer.
In your second source, the caster actually says «loading up for a huge DROP». A drop being a piece of jargon referring to the fact that these units will shortly be dropped into the opponent’s base. I can see how if you are primed to hear strong, you might hear strong instead.

In the first example, «of six hundred thousand strong» is incorrect. It should be
We’re now a sub of nearly six hundred thousand.
It could also be
We’re now a sub that is nearly six hundred thousand strong
The construction «of 600,000 strong» is becoming more common because the idiom itself is somewhat uncommon, but it is not the traditional form of this expression.
I also note that you seem to have overlooked something in your Oxford dictionaries link, namely sense four:
Used after a number to indicate the size of a group.
‘a hostile crowd several thousands strong’

Just as in «ten foot tall» the word tall means «in height», and in the phrase «six feet deep» the word deep means «in depth», in the phrase «an army ten-thousand strong» the word strong means «in strength».
Strong is misused in your second example.

Yes.
It is common for the two halves of the length of a sword’s blade to be described as the ‘forte’ and the ‘foible’, or the ‘strong’ and the ‘weak’. When parrying, the strong of your own blade should be used against the opponent’s weak.
Fencers of all stripes will as happily refer to a sword’s ‘forte’ or ‘strong’ as an actual thing as they would it’s grip or guard. (Grip and guard, interestingly, being both nouns and verbs.)
Use of the English or not depends on whether the individual prefers their turn of phrase at that moment to be functional or flowery. But, yes — if grip, guard, or pommel can be a noun then so can strong.
answered Jan 31, 2019 at 11:21
In the second example, it seems that it is actually «huge drop». The «huge» is stressed so /g/ combines with /d/ to become an /s/. Meanwhile, «drop» is spoken fleetingly, so maybe the /p/ sound is swallowed.
Just my guess.

Yes, it can be used as a noun, but not in the examples you give.
In instances like «the strong eat the weak» or «only the strong survive» it is a nominalized adjective. As wikipedia notes, this is «an adjective that has undergone nominalization, and is thus used as a noun.» Nominalized adjectives are commonly used to indicate a specific group of people, such as the rich, the poor, the weak, or the strong.
The entry for nominalization explains a bit about the process and includes more examples if you’d like further reading.

It seems like everyone kind of beat this to the ground.
If you can put ‘the’ in front of a word, it is a NOUN.
If you can say that he/she/it is ___. Then it is an ADJECTIVE.
