This does need adding to an FAQ and I have done so, but going back on the logic issue, if Glorfindel gets a +1F for a glaive then why doesn't Elrond or Arwen or any of the other elves? They are not going to fight unarmed but would have their own elven blades.
No, the description of a heroic brawl :p where weapon bonuses have no effect and Glorfidel being his own formation is proof to me that Glorfidel would not get a bonus.
Ok, Khand kings are monsters and have two-handed weapons, if what you say is true then how do you handle them? -1F but no +1 To Hit, as they don't roll To Hit in Heroic Duels? That don't seem fair or logical to me.
The other elven heroes don't say they carry Glaves, it is entirely reasonable that they carry elven swords that are simply hand weapons (like the one Arwen has at the Ford... it has a smaller handle so can't be used with the nice fluid movements that a hand and a half grip allow...[i know i study a variety of fighting arts and eastern grips are far easy to move fluidly with in general])
Thus they are not going to get a benefit.
For the Kings it would be relatively simple... Just +1 to the dice rolled on the heroic duel table, carrying the theme of harder to win a fight, easier to kill when you do!!
However i agree this is all strictly our own derivitations, assumptions. A solid FAQ from GW would make me a happy man, i don't mind which they pick so long as the address such an obvious question...
Perhaps i'll email the team, maybe they might be so nice as to explain the situation to me even if they won't FAQ... It would also add to their awareness of the situation (they can't post an FAQ if no one tells them about the questions
)
