Hey guys,

Just got myself a Halbarad, but he's the one with the banner and looking at it it's a lot of points...

Is it worth the points? I can see being double the price of a banner for double the range being useful, especially as Rangers of the North only have 1 A, but Halbarad does not really need the courage boost given he is C 6.

If it's worth taking (I hope so), at what point level does it become worth replacing a chunk of warriors with it?

Cheers.

What army do you play? I have has some success with it with my elves, my army list was a lot of high defence elves as some Mirkwood rangers the scenario was me defending a city/town ruins and I encircled my men around him so he would reach as many people as possible my plan was to shoot the hell out of them and then whittle their numbers down in combat until they broke (I was against goblin town). The plan worked and he was fantastic, re-rolsl were invaluable and instant passing of courage test for most of my army was great when both sides broke as the goblin ran for the hills.

However, was he better than 100 and something points more elves, in this situation yes in most others maybe not. Let me put it this way never take him to tournaments but in non-competitive games between friends he's probable worth it 750+ especially if you like the theme and the model, if your opponent will let you maybe house rule he doesn't get the -1 if he fights (like Boromir).
