12 galadrim warriors 4 w elven blades,4 w bows 4 w spear and shields

Warband 2
Rumli
12 galadrim warriors 4 w elven blades,4 w bows 4 w spear and shields

Warband 3
Elf stormcaller
10 galadrim warriors 2 w elven blades,4 w bows 4 w spear and shields

Warband 4
Samwise the brave w elven cloak

600 point thank for reading

All Galadhrim already have armour, and all models have hand weapons (such as swords) unless they are listed as unarmed (or did you mean Elven blades instead of swords?). I personally prefer using Wood Elves (unarmoured) for archers and Galadhrim (armoured) for front line, perhaps with Wood Elves for spears for saving points.

I guess you only took Sam for the theme, at least I would take another Stormcaller instead.

I went your points through and resulted with 613 points Obviously I misunderstood your list or you wrote something wrong.

Generally I like the idea of your list.

EDIT: Give Haldir a bow, otherwise you're wasting his Expert Shot (that's what I would do, anyway).

And what kind of theme are you going for? Samwise doesn't really fit in, and he would honestly be a waste of points. He can't fight as well and he'll be left behind by the rest of the army.

I think it was supposed to be something like Sam visiting the Elves after the War of the Ring, since they fascinate him so much. He won't be very good, he rarely is, but it could be quite funny to play.

For the points costs of the elf i was using the old rule book need to get new ones and i tryed to build a good army around samwise he is good on the table when played right ive still to get the elfs for my list my make a new list up.

hmmm, generally sam is only effective in the context of the fellowship and even then he rarely proves to be 1/3 as effective as legolas or gimli like his points would suggest...

When i use sam in games hes good for getting rid of shamans with reastant to magic rule and good for holding up bat swarms with 2 might 3 fate he worth his points

What if the shaman/batswarm doesn't target Sam, why would your opponent want to? Fair enough though, it's cool to see someone using a 'plot' model tactically. What do you mean by holding up bat swarms though, do you mean flinging him at them in combat or what? Do you just use him to absorb hits for your heroes, how do you do it?

He can hold well it took 2/3 turn to beat it but he did it it was more him being traped.

But he only moves 4 in. How is he supposed to keep up with your army unless you give him a pony? Even then, he'll only move 8in, so how is he going to take out a bat if it moves 12in?

Ok got new books free peoples and moria/angmar made changes 5 points spare could give rumil a bow dont know.

Don't do that. If a model has a bow, it cannot use a shield, so you will lower his Defense by giving him a bow. You might even give Sam a pony, so he doesn't get so far behind.

Why did i say bow wht was i thinking :-O

Single cheap heroes like sam are great for missions where you set up alternately. He gives you a free look at where your opponent is commiting.

Haldir, defender of Helm's deep automaticly comes with a bow + he doesn't have the 'expert shot' rule, were you thinking of the average haldir? (i.e. not Helm's deep version)
