Hi guys,
A group of friends and I have started playing War of the Ring recently, and we all like the thought of building armies using the Hobbit miniatures. I'm taken with the theme of Laketown so I've started building an army list to transfer them into the game. I'd really appreciate more experienced WOTR players to have a look so you can tell me what you think.
-Master of Laketown - 60pts
F4
R 2
C 3
Mt 3
Inspiring Leader (Men)
Epic Cowardice
Moneybags - Once per turn, a formation within 6" of the Master may pass a Courage test automatically as he encourages the men with promises of gold and jewels.
-Alfred - 25pts
F 3
R 1
C 3
Mt 2
Councellor
Snivelling Coward - May not be the army leader.
-Bard the Bowman - 100pts
F 5
R 2
C 5
Mt 3
Epic Shot
Epic Defence
Inspiring Leader (Men)
Hero of Legend
The Black Arrow - Once per game when performing an Epic Shot, Bard rolls two dice rather than one and uses the highest result.
-Laketown Guard - 15pts
M 6
F 3/4+
S 3
D 4
A 8
R 1
C 3
Hand Weapons, armour
Guard Captain - 50pts (F4, R2, C3, Mt2)
Banner Bearer - 35pts
Hornblower - 15pts
Shields (+5pts) or bows (+5pts)
-Laketown Militia - 15pts
M 6
F 2/5+
S 3
D 3
A 8
R 1
C 2
Hand weapons, bows
Civic Leader - 50pts (F3, R2, C3, Mt2)
Banner Bearer - 35pts
Hornblower - 15pts
Replace bows with shields (free)
I increased the courage of the Guard slightly to make them more distinct from the Militia (so they have a somewhat 'elite' feel) though their captain does not increase it any, and have added the option for shields as they are marching to a full scale battle in this list and I cannot imagine them going without! The Militia are present to make the army much more affordable lol, and the DoS Chronicles book shows artwork of town militia, so why not? Good conversion territory.
This is just a starting point and more units are sure to be added, but I would very much appreciate any input on how it looks at the moment.
