Good afternoon everyone, just wanted to post a link to my latest battle report. We played the "To Kill a King" scenario from the LoME book (although adapted slightly for warbands). As usual, it's always a good day to get minis out on the table of battle. I think the dice were in my favor for this one, just by the results of most of the melee combats that took place, I figure I won more than I should have. Anyway, hope you enjoy

An epic battle indeed. And indeed the dice seemed to be in your favor(when you got into melee combats )

Apart from the cinematic epicness(having the leader on mount) was there any other reason you decided to spend 10-20 points for mounting elendil and isildur?

Why did he take The Betrayer?

There were a few reasons I gave Elendil and Isildur horses. I liked the idea of a four attack hero (on the charge, at least), I felt it granted them some more potential durability, and I wanted to see my mounted Elendil conversion in action

As for The Betrayer, I believe he was taken because we haven't really used Nazgul too much yet, and new is always fun Also, he was there to help augment the poison rules of the rest of the Haradrim.
