Post subject:  Thoughts on 500pts Umbar
So this weekend I was looking through the Fallen Realms book looking for all the themes you could base an army on and saw the Umbar models and decided to write up a quickly done pure Umbar list! Just looking for thoughts, criticisms and how well this would preform on the field :)

Crew of The Shrike - 500pts

Warband 1 - 214pts
Dalamyr, Fleetmaster of Umbar
X6 Corsair Reavers
X6 Corsairs of Umbar with X6 Boarding Pikes

Warband 2 - 175pts
Corsair Bo'Sun with Shield
X12 Corsairs of Umbar with X6 Boarding Pikes and X12 Shields

Warband 3 - 130pts
Corsair Bo'Sun with Crossbow
X8 Corsair Arbalesters

Thanks!

nice looks good to me, if you played games over 500 points i would consider switching out one of the bo suns and getting the knight of umbra on fell beast on there though he's a beast!

Just to make sure you make the most of them, I'd max out on crossbows: those things are deadly (and difficult to take down by enemy archers, even Elves).

Other than that, you're terribly low on Might, so switching one Bo'Sun for a captain certainly wouldn't be a bad idea.

Yeah I have used the Knight of Umbar and I agree he is a absolute boss on the Fell Beast! Maybe if I make this and expanded on it I would definatly include him...

As for the idea of maxing out my bows I simply don't have the points. However the Captain could be achieved by removing 1 Arbalester and getting a Captain with a Shield and Crossbow... Thoughts?

Max on crossbows. I quite enjoy my captain with crossbow sitting at the back ;) he usually misses... But it's good when he hits.

Okay so in an attempt to conceive what has been recommended twice I am going to have to change the list in order to max out the Crossbows. The changes are that I have removed the Reavers, that I have taken away 3 Spears and removed all the Shields from the Spearmen. Not sure if it's ruined now but we shall see...

Crew of the Shrike

Warband 1 - 196pts
Dalamyr, Fleetmaster of Umbar
X12 Corsairs of Umbar with X6 Boarding Pikes and X6 Shields

Warband 2 - 127pts
Corsair Captain with Shield
X9 Corsairs of Umbar with X3 Boarding Pikes and X6 Shields

Warband 3 - 175pts
Corsair Captain with Crossbow
X12 Corsair Arbalesters

Totals - 498pts, 36 Models, 18 Break Point, 13 Shots per Turn and 5 Might.

Thoughts...?
