Right on! I think the Mahud Raiders are pretty darn good. The first time mine went into combat it killed an opponents model without entering into a Fight. He has been nervous about them ever since...

The Mahud rider rides a War Camel. I cannot find anywhere what that wargear means. Do you get any bonus to riding a war camel? Thank you |

It should be in the "Fallen Realms" book at the start of the Harad/Umbar rules. I want to say they are S4 D4 and cause a S4 hit on impact when they charge, and otherwise are very similar to a horse. |

They have the Impaler special rule. Str 4 hit as soon as they contact an enemy. Plus if you give your Mahud a War Spear, it is a lance when Mahud is mounted, and a spear if he looses his mount or falls off during combat. Page 29 in the Fallen Realms War Band book. |

Aha page 29, how foolish of me, one would have thought it would be on page 5 with all the other additional wargear lists. Many Thanx |

Are there any other pieces in the game with a similar rule? |

Camels are unique. Althoughj, great beasts of Gorgoroth do something cross between this and a Mumak. Then you have monsters which all have new brutal power attacks, one of which I think is similar. |

These Camels sound really good. Are they worth purchasing and using? What are there weaknesses? |

low defence = dead camels. I have 6 and a king, but have never used them since their riders got weaker. |

...exactly. I have all this Mahud/Far Harad army stuff for my WOTR Mahud Battlehost. It's an expensive army to collect. But for some theme or accent can look pretty cool. At this time I have 24 each (2 hand/1 hand weapon) of Half Trolls, and they are highly effective. I am fielding them in large numbers. My opponent is in awe of their effectiveness, defense, and having 2 wounds. |

That's a shame then, they do look a pretty army, but not worth playing then? |

NotLegolasJustTipsy wrote: That's a shame then, they do look a pretty army, but not worth playing then? Definitely pretty...I think they're priced right points-wise, and the auto-hit on a charge is a great feature. I still like them, they're just not as devastating as they used to be (when they were under-priced and over-powered). |

I'm new to the game, so what has changed with them? |

Less attacks, lower fight, higher courage. For more details, check out the new-last-year Fallen Realms book. |

In other words, each warriors used to have as many attacks as an uruk-hai beserker, and each hero as many attack as a troll, and they had the fight values of respective uruk-hai, but their attacks and fight are lower now. Half trolls got better though. |

I am using the Golden King of Harad and the Half Trolls as a combo... Half Trolls cause Terror... opponents must pass Courage test to Charge. Golden King can make your enemy fail courage tests w/in 12". Giving me the opportunity to Charge w/out calling Heroic Move. *Edit... Golden King 4 Attacks and counts as a banner! |

I'm not talking about the warriors by the way, I'm just looking into buying some camels as cavalry |
