| Post subject: | Glorfindel - WOTR |
I have just finished painting this splendid model, and am looking forward to letting him loose on some unsuspecting orcs. I have noted the FAQ/Errata that his move is 12 (not 8 as printed) I also note there is no increase for him having a glaive. What I am curious about is his "Ride Asfaloth Ride" ability. Its states he moves and charges like a flying monster. Ok err, so he can "fly" over other troops formations (friendly or enemy), and impassible terrain... Can I get confirmation on this please? It seems a bit much for an elf on a horse. I know its probably just a "game mechanic" to make him that bit extra special. Its just that I can just see my opponents face though when he "flies" over an impassible river or other some such..., makes me cringe a bit. I can accept the extra attacks for charge, again that's just a game mechanism to make him special on the charge. Any thoughts? Scott |

well its ment to be like he is really agile so he dodge through a band of orcs and then run up a cliff.... wait a minute thats not right... so ya, its just a mechanism, although going over impassible terrain is too much |

Actually, as said, it's because it's a ridiculously nimble and strong horse. The times when it's stupid are when it can jump across an 11" chasm and such like... |

Hi, in WOTR, Glorfindel is counted as a "monster", and thus only used in the mounted form! |

The above is pretty mch true as the character has Ride Asfaloth! Ride ability, but for the purpose of the game it doesn't really matter. |

As long as you sit him on a 40mm base, it doesn't really matter, but he is supposed to be sat on his steed, otherwise (visually) it seems a bit (more?) odd, lol
