That looks solid enough.
But why the fate point?
Does every musician has a faith point?
(if so.. I'm going to play an instrument

| Post subject: | Uruk-hai Scout Drummer |
As there are no rules for Uruk-hai Scout drummers, I thought I'd have a go at writing some. The rules are based on a combination of Orc Drummers, Uruk-Hai Captains and Mauhúr. Let me know what you think. Uruk-hai Scout Drummer (45 points) While raiding the Westfold, Uruk-hai scouts try to keep ahead of the Riders of Rohan. They use drummers beating a steady rhythm to keep them moving quickly through the settlements of Rohan, killing and burning as they go. F 4/- S 5 D 5 A 1 W 1 C 4 M 0 W 0 F 1 Wargear An Uruk-hai Scout Drummer wears armour and carries heavy drumsticks (hand weapon). Special Rules Advance! - See Mordor rulebook or In Sauron's Sinister Service for details. The exception is that the drum applies to Isengard Uruk-hai and Orcs. Mauhúr's Marauders - For a cost of 5 points an Uruk-hai Scout Drummer may be upgraded to be a Mauhúr's Marauder. See Mauhúr in White Dwarf 366 for details. |

Both the orc drummer and the Black Guard drummer have a point of fate. I guess it makes them slightly more likely to survive. Just noticed that while the Orc drummer has the same Fight as a captain, the Black Guard Drummer only has the Fight of a normal warrior. So what do you think for the Uruk-hai Scout drummer:
Fight 4 - 45 points |

Fight 4 i think, i would go with strength 4 also. I allways imagined the drummer was a trooper, not a near captain, so his stats would be nearer that of a warrior, or is the orc drummer stronger aswell? |

The Orc Drummer has the same strength as an Orc Captain. It's a good point though about making the Scout Drummer Strength 4. I've always wondered why the Orc Drummer was a hero when it should be more like a banner upgrade to a normal warrior than a hero. |

I'd say f4, fighting with a drum around your neck is somewhat harder. |

Updated the profile to only be Fight 4, but kept the Strength at 5. You'd need to be pretty strong to run around with a drum. As an aside, the first Reinforcements allows Uruk-hai to take a hornblower, but there is no model. So I guess another way to use the model would be to count it as a hornblower. |
