600pts All Mounted 3A Heroes

Boromir of Gondor, Horse
Aragorn - Strider, Horse
Eomer, Knight of the Pelennor, Armoured Horse
Elladan and Elrohir, Heavy Armour, Horses

What do you think of this list?

I know it's quite vulnerable to magic and bow fire, but I can get into combat to avoid bow fire and stay away from or charge wizards, hopefully.

Anyway, what do you think?

Thanks, LordElrond

Looks powerful enough to me. At 600pts your opponent will only have 1-2 casters to nullify your heroes, so you ain't got all that much to worry about.

Keep in mind Elladan and Elrohir cannot use two swords on horseback, they are technically 2 attack models when on horseback.

Would it be better to get Gil-Galad or Glorfindel instead?

Nah, taking Gilly or Glorf will give you 3 less might, having a 2 attack model on a horse is still 6 attacks to wound with if you charge.

rather gil-galad is +1 to kill and doesn't become crazy when someone dys.
Ever killed one of them with a archer and he run to a corner of the table where my archer runned to. the other time it was my troll chieftain

.
but 2 A heroes are still really good.

I might convert a Gil-Galad anyway at some point, but for now, I'll use the twins. Any thoughts on Glorfindel?

I'd rather go for Glorfindel than for Gil-Galad.
Most armies will field S4 these days so that D7 -> D8 isn't that much of an improvement. But 3 fate + resistant to magic does the trick for me.

Unless you have no good way to spend those 10 extra points on...

I still think the twins are a better choice than Gilly or Glorf :p

Ok, thanks.

You couldn't go with Gil-galad, and maintain your all mounted theme, as he cannot take a horse.
Side-note, Heroes like Gil-galad are part of why I hate the new heroic strike ability. Takes away much of his natural usefulness with a Fight of 9

@James Gil Galad CAN take a horse
