Not posted a new topic in here for donks but since so far I still haven't played Hobbit rules and everything I've done has been academic, and based on reasonable analyis of pts value and profiles in relation to exitsing pts values and profiles. In shorrt, I have come here. The armies are in spoiler tags to save space for scrolling.

The Dwellers in the Deep Places (Goblin Town, Moria, Azog’s Hunters):

The Hunters of Rhudaur (Angmar, Azog’s Hunters, The Trolls):

Click to: Show

The Three Fallen Kings (Harad & Umbar, Easterlings):

Click to: Show

The Black Gate Opens (Mordor):

A few additional points: I know Hunter orcs on Fell Wargs are abysmal but plan on using a few if terraign permits. I know castellans aren't particulaarly competitive but i didn't want to do any half warbamds plus it may help in deployment. Also, i am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has used the Trolls.

Yes, these are all Evil lists, as the only Goo dmodels I currently own are the ones from EFGT and 2 Eagles, not exactly army material.

that first army looks scary good, a little of everything. personally i would throw in another dweller in the dark, if you have the terrain to keep it out of fire, because its 7 fight value makes it perfect for chewing up heroes.

army 3, if you're going for that theme definitely include half trolls. though chariots look awesome, unless your opponent has lots of cavalry that aren't supported by troops i think that war band would be best replaced by half trolls. also chariots take up a lot of space which makes them pretty easy targets.

army 4 looks fine, well rounded too. i would put kardush in over one of the shamans.

i like the first army the best, it looks like the most fun to play especially since many of the units are hobbit oriented.

Thank you for the reply

Army 1: thank you, as of Dwellers, not sure I really want to buy another one at that price, although multiples would help make up for dieability. Unlike say Blackshields or Warg Marauders, you can't really convert it out of anything either.

Army 3: 2 months ago, I would have said the same thingg, and I did try to squeeze 12 of them in. But since half trolls cannot have 3 attacks anymore, one of them has to be strength 3, there appela has dropped a little, whereas Chariots with Brutal Power attacks have increased appeal. I could drop a warband to swap some guards for half trolls, but I'm not sure.

Army 4: Kardush yes, good idea, If I dropped a few little items.

Thanks for the imput, I will spleep on it.
