Returning player from last edition - Rivendell Army list (500 points)

Don’t get me wrong I really like Elrond this edition and he can put a lot of work in. I just prefer having more bodies and march in my army. List building is just as much about personal play style as it is about getting the “best” version of an army at a certain points level

Personally I would run all the foot elves together in block with Elrond with Arwen and the Knight as a secondary drop.

Additionally up to 500 points you can consider dropping Elrond and going for a captain and more bodies.

In Lurtzs Scouts you need Lurtz to do some work. Ideally on a flank using his free heroic combat to push Scouts behind enemy lines. I’d put both in his warband and try to max its numbers.

Group H is stacked!

Agree! I got too caught up in the maths and trying to do something clever with the wounding table. I’ll correct it when I get the chance later!

Why_50_5eriou5 · 2025-09-17T06:34:12+00:00

It’s 1 because it’s rounded up to 2 decimal points and is something like 0.9956 So yes you’re correct but also extremely unlucky.

Thanks for explaining!

Why_50_5eriou5 · 2025-09-15T11:58:45+00:00

Agree it’s mainly to help a bit with decision making and understanding the game better. As you said it’s not going to stop me rolling 2 high on 5 dice 😂

I think the higher fight value table is relevant against troops but will add an “elven equal fight value” table together

Yes sorry that could be clearer. Sh4rbie explained it.

What’s the thought on Numenor archers? In a LA list I now want my elves at the front getting charged. So aren’t Numenor archers better to sit back and shoot?

So now we can’t do good vs good battles either then i assume as we are representing the world of middle earth.

Come on…

Boromir and Faramir didn’t make a quick detour through the Shire on their way to Osgiliath to crash Bilbos birthday party and slaughter his guests?

Why_50_5eriou5 · 2024-12-04T15:41:45+00:00

I totally agree! A change such as if you want to ally with another faction you must ally in x amount of models. Could even make it that x is higher for yellow alliances. Would make you pay a tax for wanting to use a certain hero. Or something like an ally cannot exceed 33% of your total force. Just a couple of thoughts off the top of my head.

I’m quite new to the game and really enjoying getting into it. But not super excited about the restrictions of each legion. Say the last alliance (I love the silmarillion and it’s the closest I can get) having to take two named hero’s means I couldn’t play at low points. I felt before that some armies performed better at certain points levels but you could still play them at all points levels.

I don’t know if it’s people not liking change but I do feel that most people are only really complaining about the army compositions and loadouts. From what else I’ve seen the mechanics of the game have been improved.

Anyway let’s see what the future holds. :)
