Sure, the inspiration.

Thats where we started. Its different now, and expectations should be dictated from the fluff in the book. Not history.

You seem to have the game we are talking about confused with some kind of 'historical'.

This is Warhammer. The knights are awesome heroic charging jerks.

As for empire knights, they have their...

Njal is pretty annoying.

Not only does he just punish the other player for bringing a psyker (they nerfed the psychic hood because it was too good remember) He also has all the powers, which are...

Correct.

Mike's list was more or less the following:

Sauron
3 of the mordor troll chieftan hero guys
burdur
The witch king on a nazgul
The betrayer (I think)
2 small units of mordor orcs...

I kinda like that. Makes them crazy without being too dangerous to be useful.



Meh, everyone will take meltaguns anyway :P



I would have to say no to this. I can kinda see the idea behind...

Really, after a long time of consideration and thought, I have in fact figured out the ultimate reason I dont like DH. (and d% based systems in general actually)

The reason is that being lucky is...

That could theoretically work, but thats putting radagast at pretty serious risk to accomplish something that could be done just as well with a throw-away unit.

Even if I win the roll for epic...

From the Darkest corner/
Of the land of the darkest lord/
There comes the Darkest Warrior/
In his hand he holds a sword!

He rides a Steed of Shadows/
The wolves all gather ‘round/
And from...

Well, here's how I run my Goblins. (and please note, I am by no means a master, or even particularly good. But this is what I do)

My army consists of a few specific components:

1) My 'core'...

If you want cheap screening infantry, I would recommend that you take Rohan Oathsworn Militia rather than hobbits.

They are only 5 points more per company, and gain 3 points of defense, a point of...

Good suggestions all, (and yes, I am quite familiar with green stuff, and grey stuff, and brown stuff ;) but not entirely what Im looking for.

For one, while I could definitely save money by...

Actually, since it has Heavy Flamers on the front, and is also HUGE, I think its supposed to be a chimera :P

Either way, those look friggin AWESOME!

qft

That would be the "Role-playing" part in the "Role-playing Game". =p

Not really as 'out there' as you think.

Giants are pretty sweet.

The main thing with a goblin army is that you REALLY want to take a battle standard bearer with rowdy Grott's big red raggity banner.

The ability to re-roll panic...

Dont forget that one company of mirkwood sentinels can make an entire formation str 1! =D

As far as kitbashing guys goes, I dont know how realistic an option that really is.

I mean, I could theoretically do it, but the models are actually fairly distinct, and it would be obvious that I...

Separate High-elves and Numenorians would be nice.

But I have to agree, Plastic Royal Knights (and Royal Guard!!) would be freakin awesome.

It would totally change the dynamic of the Rohan...

So what to do with Rohan?

They have some decent units, but they are all metal. (Royal Knights and Royal Guard are the big ones)

While oathsworn are actually pretty decent, seeing as how they...

Bleh... I don't like Dark heresy much at all.

Now, that being said, the campaign that I played in was a blast. However, that was in spite of the system, not because of it.

40k Roleplaying has a...
