Quite right, but as a man of Rohan I'd like him to have the option. He was mounted in the films, and I'd like to recreate that.
Yeah but the GW version of Grimbold is not meant to represent the version from the film, infact isn't the only time you see him right before pelennor or is he with gamling+theoden at helms deep? Besides i think it brings some variety to rohan, because of Grimbold you can ally with rohan for S4 infantry instead of cavalry, which makes them a bit more versatile.
Anyway what i would like to see is:
Ofificial ability to buy special rules for generic heroes
Plastic command boxes for each faction,which contain a; hornblower, standard bearer and captain along with the more specific generic heroes (stormcallers, shieldbearers, war priests etc etc)
Plastic hobbits
Plastic dunland
The werewolves and black hearted trees mentioned in legions of middle earth
Starter armies that cost like £30 and include a box of plastic warriors, a decent hero (eomer for rohan, boromir for gondor, saruman for isengard etc etc) and the command units like standards and hornblowers.
