Hello everyone,

I love the new Thranduil's Halls models and really want to get a force of them. However, as I'm sure you all know they are a pretty expensive option, what with their basic troops in finecast packs of 3, but I don't want to make the mistake of going overboard on elites either. I'm on a tight budget but want to use them in your average sized points game so I'm only going up to 500-600 points.

Here's my idea for a 500 point List:

W1: Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm on Horse
6 Mirkwood Elves with Glaive
6 Mirkwood Elves with Blade and Shield

W2: Legolas Greenleaf with Elven Cloak
10 Mirkwood Rangers

I know it's no tournament winner but I'm trying to use as many models that I already own (hence Legolas instead of Tauriel, who I think would do better here) and an expensive hero (arguably 2 expensive heroes) to keep the cost down while still getting the cool stuff in. Can anyone help me tweak it while not breaking the bank? Cheers

Get some elves with bows. Since the rangers don't count towards your bow limit you can 4 elves with bows in your other warband. Otherwise you end up wasting some points on their special rule which you aren't using on all of them.

Personally I would say get a box of Palace Guard and a box of Mirkwood Rangers, those two boxes along with the Thranduil and Legolas you already own can make a fairly effective force at around 500pts. Then I would say get 1 of each of the rugular Mirkwood Troop blisters and you will be well on your way to a highly effective army at 500 pts. Once you have all that you really won't need to buy much more, unless you want to go above 500pts. In that case I would say buy 1 more of each of the Mirkwood troop blisters and 1 of either: Old Thranduil, New Leoglas, or Tauriel. Once you have that you should be able to comfortably go up to 750pts.
