I have decided to create a new much needed troop type for high elves.
As you can guess by the title - They are called the Rangers of Finrod.

I am just finishing the first set of rules for these stealthy soldiers.

They will be out soon - I Promise

Sounds cool I cant wait to see there rules

Finrod Rangers


F/S S D A W C M/W/F
5/3+ 3 5 1 2 6 1/0/0

Points Value: 25 points

Wargear: A finrod Ranger Wears Finely Crafted Heavy Armour and an elven cloak. He carries an elven blade and an elf bow.

Special Rules:

Finrod Archery Training: The rangers of Finrod have practiced and improved their archery skill over hundreds of years. To reflect this, a finrod ranger is allowed to move the full 6" in the move phase and still fire his bow in the same turn.

Woodland Creature: See rules manual for details

Seems nice

Very nice. Medium points too for a good model. Are they heros? You should put in normal infantry too.

They are sort of rangers of the north based.

I might create a captain for the finrod rangers...

Would you prefer a named or unnamed character

Named if it good

Woodland Creature: See rules manual for details

the troop types are a little over priced

the hero looks good but a note bows arnt genraly made of ash, they were made of Yew

do the rangers carry normal bows?

@ wandering dunadain

fine - i'll change it to yew if it will make you happy

@ironfoot

the rangers of finrod carry standard elf bows - Eresdil's bow of finrod is unique

Fight of 7 appears high, considering that's what Glorfindel is at. Your rangers should be F5 and the hero F6. I'm assuming they all have the woodland creature special rule?

You are right, i shall reduce the fight value to your suggested amount.

Yes, I will add the woodland creature rule to their profile.

Any other Comments or suggestions?

Sorry 'bout this, but could you maybe lower both Fight points (hero's and warrior's)? They're like really good heros, like Aragorn, or Boromir.

sorry but i cannot lower the fight value any more as they already have the F value of an elf soldier and captain.

If I lower it any more, then the fight value of the rangers will be lower than a standard elf soldier - I can't do that!!!!

change the 'bow' in the profile for 'elf bow', it might cause misunderstandings.

i like the profiles! Mabye it's nice to make them unique to elven forces. Put them in there own list and let them only ally to elves or something.

What would it cost to give them Expert Shot? Maybe that's overkill.

Anyway, between this and WD's Elf Mage, I really like the ideas lately. Elves are soooo in need of expansion.

cheers for the comments, whatfrog!

there is no chance of expert shot, sorry!

i agree with the elf expansions

I am also in the process of creating the high elf valinor gaurd

all in good time ...
