Welcome to TMAT! A few thoughts f...Hey Ste271276!<br /><br />Welcome to TMAT! A few thoughts for you on a 750-pt game:<br /><br />1. I'd definitely take Aragorn, Isildur's Heir - for 200 pts, this guy will provide you with a 3" banner radius and 6" ignore difficult terrain for all infantry in the Arnor list, which is really good. He's also your F6 S4 hero, and boasts a lot of killing power. I highly recommend him.<br /><br />2. Depending on what you're fighting, choose Rangers of the North or Dunedain; if you're fighting S3 units you can probably get away with Dunedain, but if you have S2 bows or S4 units coming at you (Uruk-Hai or Angmar, for example), you should go with Rangers of the North.<br /><br />3. I like Malbeth the Seer from the Arnor list; makes your boys a bit hardier, and can contribute 1 S4 attack in close-combat, if you need him to. He's also a 3 Will unit, which is nice in case your opponent likes using casters.<br /><br />4. On Hobbits: I'm working on teaming Hobbits in, too! They'll need to meet bow limit, so be aware of that. If you run Shirriffs and archers, I'd recommend Pippin, as you can turn them into Tookish archers (F3 instead of F1). If you run Militia and archers, I'd recommend Pippin (for the archers) or Merry, who can make the militia S3 instead of S2. Depends on your strategy: do you want archers that are more capable at close quarters, or do you want warriors that can do damage in close combat? Tell me how they work: I'd be interested in seeing it!<br /><br />I've posted a few tactical posts on the units and heroes on this blog - I'd highly recommend looking at those for more ideas.<br /><br />Thanks for jumping into the discussion at TMAT!<br /><br />CentaurCentaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864036616223908725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-55027583253671491422013-01-28T15:58:23.589-05:002013-01-28T15:58:23.589-05:00I'll let Glenstorm do the talking on this one,...I'll let Glenstorm do the talking on this one, but first off, welcome to the TMAT blog! You can find some of Glenstorm's thoughts already written by clicking on the "Arnor" label on the right hand bar and read some of the tactica that has been posted (by our very own Glenstorm) on the topic - along with some commentary in comments from the rest of us.Tiberiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032927898313675650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010239046857689405.post-89281110134084983702013-01-28T13:18:35.948-05:002013-01-28T13:18:35.948-05:00Great Blog!
