I agree, the different types of Elves should be treated as seperate races in-game. The question then is, which race is Elrond, his sons, and Arwen? or Earendil?
Noldor all, IMHO
I must say I really like your profile, assuming we agree that Noldor are going to be treated as rare elites. Is it worth it to raise the shoot value to differentiate them from other (more shooty) elves?
F...S..D..A..W..C - Pts
5/3+ 4 3 2 1 5 - 16 points
Special Rules:
Lineage of the Firstborn
Resistant to Magic
EDIT: shoot to 3+, increase points to 16
I like the S4, regardless of whether that reflects a native strength of body or superior efficiency. I think your profile was too expensive, however. Compare to a baseline berzerker which is 15 points (and already has a 2H weapon), add +1 for F5 and -3 for D3 and you have a starting point of 13 points. Add +1 for Terror, +1 for Resistant to Magic, and you're back to 15 points. For having a shoot option, a horse option, and the ability to get to D7, I could see +1 point for a total of 16...thoughts?
EDIT: points to 16
Not sure the elf blade should be 2 points, so here's a revised list:
Wargear:
0 point...Handweapon
1 point...Spear, Armour, Shield, Elven Blade
2 point...Heavy Armour, Elven Bow
3 point...Mithril Armour
5 point...Elven Cloak (a model with an Elven Cloak may not also be equipped with armour, heavy armour, or shield)
6 point... Elven Horse
I think we should skip giving them a Fate rule, and maybe give that instead to a hero (similar to Malbeth's Foresight).
One thing I'm conflicted about is whether or not to give them a "Woodland Creature" or Woodcraft rule. The other races have this, and the only reason removed it was to save points...but I keep thinking of Gildor.
Anyway, I'm guessing this is more what people were looking for in a Noldor...if there's agreement I'll update the first post.
