I've never played Umbar myself, but there's an episode of the Green Dragon podcast about them here:
https://soundcloud.com/the-green-dragon ... s-of-umbarThanks for sending the link! That surely was an interesting one to listen. First of all, because I didn't know about the reaver FAQ and it reminded me that the black numenorean neither benefit from backstabbers nor the bo'sun banner bonus. Also, it confirmed the importance of might in this list.
I just heard the next tournament here, which I want to participate in to get back into the game, is 550 points. Now I made two possible lists for it:
Warband 1:
Dalamyr, Fleetmaster of Umbar
4 black numenoreans
4 corsair of umbar with spears
8 corsair arbalesters
Warband 2:
Corsair bo'sun with spear and shield
4 black numenoreans
4 corsair of umbar with spears
4 corsair reavers
Warband 3:
Corsair bo'sun with spear and shield
4 black numenoreans
4 corsair of umbar with spears
4 corsair reavers
List 2:
Warband 1:
Dalamyr, Fleetmaster of Umbar
5 black numenoreans
6 corsair of umbar with spears
4 corsair arbalesters
Warband 2:
Delgamar, Gatekeeper of Umbar
5 black numenoreans
6 corsair of umbar with spears
4 corsair arbalesters
Warband 3:
Corsair bo'sun with spear
8 corsair reavers
Now the advantages of the first list are that I have 3 multi purpose warbands, with hammer and anvils in the last two and the threat of 8 arbalesters to face the main target in the enemy army together.
The second list drops two units, but has the advantages of 2 extra might and a second combat hero. It also means I only have two multi purpose warbands, the third one being a designated kill squad, which could both be an advantage as well as a disadvantage.
Which list do you guys think is better?
