Which army most needs an update? (SBG)

The title says it all: which army in SBG most needs an update?

I'm expecting the two major candidates to be Rohan and High Elves..

I'd say High Elves, Wood Elves, Rohan, Minas Tirith, Easterlings, Dunland, Khand.

Yep, High Elves and Rohan. I'd also like to see more interesting Khand (more effective or cheaper chariots, horse archers with parthian tactics) and Easterlings, though the additions of Amdur and the command set were pretty useful. Would also like a more fleshed out Arnor, or at least a plastic set. I'm content to wait for Wood Elves until we see what PJ does for the BotFA.

I would say mostly elves and men(Both good and evil...)

Haradrim are men and they certainately do not need another update.

Yes but other men sure need... :wink:

Numenor and High Elves.

I think Rohan needs a rules update though.

What about Army of the Dead? At the moment they're almost impossible to play competitively due to their only Hero being so overpriced.

Rohan need a complete rules overhaul and High Elves need a whole army overhaul. Individually Easterlings and Khand are pretty poor, but I've always had the impression that they were designed to be fielded together.

Army of the Dead are more of a scenario specific army, although occasionally I've wondered how KotD and 40 AotD would fare in a 700 point game?

How about the Grey Company? Do they need an update because they're too good and too boring?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Sep 09, 2011 2:09 pm

They seem to work as being different.

I believe a dead captain should be releashed... :-D

See White Dwarf 305 - Revenant.

EDIT - sorry, I'm getting to into these unofficial profiles.

What's Revenant?

Oh, it'sa Revanant and its from before LOME came out, when there made unofficial profilesin WD for models they didn't make. A Revanant is kind of like a Ghost Captian, only in hindsight they aren't that good either , they costed 75ps and had no might, and only a single attack and wound and fight 3, the main strength thiough was that if you did somehow manage to kill an enemy, you get extra troops.

I would say Rohan. do they even have a sourcebook?

Rohan needs an udate... They don't have a sourcebook but the Two towers journeybook covers most of their models...

The Shire, at least lets have some plastic hobbits to make a proper army

But seriously Rohan, like not having Outriders as Heroes and having the profiles actually available, not scattered among books.

I think the only update rohan needs is for the warriors of rohan to have the ability to use throwing spears as regular spears and for helmingas to have boosted courage.
