750pt dwarf list

Ringil · **Posted:** Tue Dec 24, 2013 8:06 pm

So been playing third age total war recently with the new divide and conquer mod and have fallen in love with Balin's expedition and have been trying to make a list that's themed around it but still competitive, so aany comments would be appreciated.
Balin
8 khazad guard
4 iron guard
Dwalin (I'm pretty sure he was still alive, I think it's possible for him to of gone with Balin)
12 warriors of erebor with spear
Kings champion
10 dwarf warriors with shield
Floi
1 Iron guard
It's pretty themed and is still competitive (I don't see why Balin couldn't be allowed a kings champion), quick question, any tips on how to convert grim hammers into warriors of erebor?? Love the models but not the rules:(
Any comments welcome thanks

Dwalin did NOT go to Moria with Balin, he was alive well into the fourth age and thus would not have gone. Oin and Orio however were both there, and Oin is handy in 750pts so drop Dwalin for an erebor captain and use the leftover points to get Oin.

What did Dwalin do during the lord of the rings movies chill?

Presumably fought at erebor against the invading forces of easterlings with Dain and Bard's grandson Brand, who were subsequently slain despite the eventual victory.

wrong thermo, Dwalin supposedly died sometime in the first hundred years of the Fourth Age at around 340 years old, very old even for a Dwarf, he was the ruler of the blue mountains till he died...

Thermo wasn't saying Dwalin died but that Brand and Dain did

I dont think you should really worry about a theme too much, unless it is essential. But i think this is a really good list

Now we have a more fleshed out version of Dwalin's character to base our assumptions off, i think there are two reasons he didn't go to moria:
A: Not interested in wealth gold.
B: Wouldn't want to leave his liege lord (Dain).
C: Not all that bothered with dwarf heritage.

Question-Did the Easterlings and ONLY the Easterlings lay siege to Erebor at that point?

How about Thorin III? He was fighting alongside his father (Dain) during the siege of Erebor. Simply using Thorins profile for him could fit? Only 5 points more than Dwalin.

I believe it was Orcs, easterlings, and garadrim who laid siege to erebor.

Galadhrim?

I didn't think the elves hated the dwarves that much haha. From what I was aware, it was only easterlings as all of saurons other forces were occupied elsewhere. About 200,000 easterlings died compared to 10,000 dale and dwarf.

Just a pedant's point, but don't think it was haradrim sieging Erebor. I know rhun and forces of the east are mentioned (will find a quote) but it would be some travelling and logistically nonsensical to get the haradrim up to erebor!
