It really is a great game too. Almost as good as WOTR.....<br /><br />The models have about a million pieces though.<br /><br />Well put about the `joy of unecessary problems`.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773458518955122941.post-24484118853297444942013-03-27T17:44:14.900-07:002013-03-27T17:44:14.900-07:00" ... silly hand wavey rule" :) F4 would..." ... silly hand wavey rule" :) F4 would be F5 [with the buckler +1F] but with loss of 1 pip of defence... OR just give them def 4 (which, as you say, suits their armour better) and have them have (5) with the shields. <br /><br />Doing the latter would inevitably turn them into some sort of slightly less survivable Morannon Orcs... Hm... Anyway, these kinds of "problems" are so luxuriously unnecessary - one of the few problems that actually are a joy to ponder about.<br /><br />Come over to the dark side once again, where the models cost 3 EUR each and you need a tonne of them :) Forget Impetvs!Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664680967354153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773458518955122941.post-15377248264871808002013-03-27T10:40:18.279-07:002013-03-27T10:40:18.279-07:00Hi Llama, thanks for posting those up.

I've been waiting to see some sprues so I could know what to sub in for my Rhovanion project - I like the look of them but of course will be using something else. Most probably lots of those new Dark Ages guys by GB. <br /><br />Re: stats: I rated them F3/4 Str 3 Courage 3 def 4(6), which is in line with WOMT without the renaissance style armour. That was done based on the more usual style historical miniatures I was using though. Giving them less of a shield bonus is an interesting idea - based on these figs.Perhaps higher base def 5(6) 25pts and same cost if armed with bow over shield but make some silly hand wavey rule that the buckler gives +1 fight bonus - so melee version is F4? Hmm. Thinking about Wotr is dangerous when I have another Impetvs army to work on!<br /><br />Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773458518955122941.post-28432957264123302002013-03-26T15:25:18.223-07:002013-03-26T15:25:18.223-07:00I propose the following stat:

I shall have to take a look - because it would be nice to distinguish Dalings from ALL the other guys: Arnor (only general difference are in their courage), WoMT:s, all the different types of rangers, Rohirrim etc etc...<br /><br />Normal upgrades, captain, hornblower - the whole works.<br /><br /><br />*) As I am finishing my own reworked version of WotR, the points are undecided, but with the current and only version of WotR, they'd been pointed 25 pts per company, no doubt about it...<br /><br />Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664680967354153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773458518955122941.post-82081886722977184052013-03-26T14:56:56.521-07:002013-03-26T14:56:56.521-07:00Hey Llama,
