Ok. I'm doing Bilbo's Birthday Bash in November and am trying to finish out my list decision making for that weekend. There is a bonus for themed Good/Evil forces. My theme is the Corsairs of Umbar raiding the Fiefdoms with all the living fiefdoms groups being involved. Evil: This is set in stone. It's a good functional force Warband 1: Dalamyr: 100 Followers 1: 2 Corsair Reavers 20, 3 Corsairs w Shield 24, 5 Corsairs w Spears 40 Warband 2: Corsair Captain w 2HW 55 Followers 2: 2 Corsair Reavers 20, 3 Corsairs w Shield 24, 5 Corsairs w Spears 40 Warband 3: Corsair Captain w Xbow 55 Followers 3: 9 Corsair Arbalesters 90 Warband 4: Corsair Bosun w Spear 46 Followers 4: 2 Corsair Reavers 20, 3 Corsairs w Shield 24, 5 Corsairs w Spears 40 Good: Fiefdoms. The main theme here is that each named character only has models from his own fiefdom in his warband. Good: I have 2 different ideas for this. Idea 1: Warband 1: Imrahil: 135 Followers 1: 5 Knights of Dol Amroth 45, 6 Men at Arms w Pikes 54 Warband 2: Forlong the Fat 60 8 Axemen of Lossanarch 72 Warband 3: Angbor the Fearless: 55 6 Clansmen of Lamedon 48 Warband 4: Duinhir 65 8 Blackroot Vale Archers 64 Idea 2: The change is to give a little mounted punch to the force. Warband 1: Imrahil: 135 Followers 1: 4 Foot Knights of Dol Amroth 36, 4 Men at Arms w Pikes 36, 3 Mounted Knights of Dol Amroth 57, Warband 2: Forlong the Fat 60 6 Axemen of Lossanarch 54 Warband 3: Angbor the Fearless: 55 5 Clansmen of Lamedon 40 Warband 4: Duinhir 65 7 Blackroot Vale Archers 56 Opinions of the two good list ideas? |

I'd say drop Angbor and the clansmen for anything, they're worthless. |

Doesn't fit the theme here. The theme behind the good force is that Imrahil rallied the forces of the 4 fiedoms (Dol Amroth, Lossanarch, Lamedon and the Blackroot Vale) to repel the Corsairs. I know that Angbor and the Clansmen are unoptimal here but that would be unfluffy to lose them. |

Ok so not bad but not good either |

I really like your Corsair list, but I'm not sure about the other one. |

Well, been thinking about things and done some tweaking of the good list. Warband 1: Imrahil on foot: 125 4 Knights of Dol Amroth: 36 5 Men at Arms of Dol Amroth w pikes: 45 Warband 2: Captain of Dol Amroth Mounted w Lance: 75 3 Mounted Knights of Dol Amroth w Lance: 57 Warband 3: Forlong the Fat: 60 7 Axemen of Lossanarch: 63 Warband 4: Dunihir: 65 8 Blackroot Vale Archers: 64 600/600 points |

It's a neat theme idea, but I'm not sure the profiles will support it. I think you'll have trouble with this, mainly not enough numbers. Also, Blackroot Vale archers are next to useless for the price imho, they're really only scenario material. None of your warbands is maxed. You could probably drop the captain of DA if you shuffled things around, and end up with more troops in each warband. Lastly, the potential of Imrahil is going to waste. His banner effect covers a huge area, it's almost a shame not to fill it. |
