My son and I made up a Wild/Fell Warg Battle Company just for fun. Not sure how useful it'll be without the ability to do so many equipment upgrades etc.

Lots of fun though, they're so fast!

It must be fun to play a game were you know you can always pick the fights because you whole force moves at twice the opponents speed. I look forward to seeing them hit a Breeland farm or a dwarven caravan.

Definitely fun, but not as fun as playing Rohan or Harad with cavalry (the cavalry charge bonus is just so awesome)!

Still a very different feel to goblins or dwarves, my usual teams!

You may want to consider warg riders, as this will give you cavalry bonuses(which wargs still do not get, correct?).

Heehee, you're correct, warg riders would probably be better! The cavalry bonus is fantastic and the wargs by themselves don't get the bonus.

However, we're just doing this for funsies, so my son was very keen for just wargs by themselves! So, you know, it's not ideal, but is still fun =)

Isn't it always for fun? :roll: Bottom line from this is your army works for you, and my army doesn't panic before the start of the fight... Unlike my useless orcs and wargs... One time they had Boromir, on his last wound, surrounded by 15 orcs. And all but one ran. I lost.

Those goblins need to out climb the wargs, that's the only thing that will help them against the speed. Also, some more of those stone rubble fields would help them out. I love the warg conversions and mounting them on arches is a really good idea.
