I agree that Orcs are small and weak, but they also outnumber the Elves 500:1. Bad odds for Elves. Haradrim will crush you with the Mumakil. Uruk-hai are stronger and equaly armored.

To be honest i don't see why everyone keeps arguing and saying their race is better then another. I think all of them are good in some way. Elves with their high curage and good bows. Harad with their Mumakils, Easterlings with their awsome spearmen, urukhai with their beserkers, Moria and Mordor with their high numbers and etc. I think you guys should stop talking trash, and prove it with actions once campaign starts. Then it will not be empty words anymore - it will be actions. :chillpill: :chillpill: :chillpill:

i know how to counter every army realisticly
so goblins out number us 3 to 1
so lets just say 3,000 to 1,000.
every elf has bow and arrow
and a sword
So they all let loose at the goblins
about 1,000 goblins will die from the arrows.
So then they keep going and another 1,000 goblins
and by the time the goblins get their it will be most likely 1,000 to thousand then it will come to skill which elves have so elves win
smae thing with all the other armies.

nobody is seriously trying to prove that their the best by doing this. Really we all are just trying to lower our opponents' moral while trying to conquer our own doubts about our armies' strenghts at the same time. Err...well...i at least hope that that is what everyone is trying to do...

Wow I haven't checked this forum in a while, seems like things have gotten quite wild. I agree with Silvani, each has their strengths and weaknesses which can be taken advantage of or exploited by the enemy. Two main factors compose this, skill and chance. Best to have both on your side eh?
However I will give you some very good reasons to join Sindar. One we're so much cooler than those guys in the desert, we smell better than orcs and uruk hai, and have more style than easterlings. Secondly we have some of the best troops you can choose from and a pretty good range in there too.
-Powerful Leaders
-Good inexpensive heroes
-a choice of weapons and armor
-New STUFF! magical music and other unknowns
Oh yeah, we have some of the best sculped minis in the LotR range, one of the most active allegiances; commanded by yours truly, which should be more than enough reason to join ;P . Now it may take some people a little longer to find their way here, but if it takes them a while to settle oh well, they get here in the end. I know so many of you are tempted because of the new supplement, you know you want to give it a try... come on. It will do you good.

Yes i know you have super units but you guys are fleeing to the West AND theres not many of you - maybe you can deal with a mumak alone well but you wont deal with and army of Harad that consisting of Hasharin, Raiders, aLOT of Spearmen, best evil bowmen in the game (50% chance of hitting AND rerolls of 1) A giant Mumak that is kinda hard to deal with (unless you KNOW that your opponent will have one :) a hero like Suladan, Kings, Easterlings with halberds, Rhun, Mercenaries, CHariots, Khandish Kings, a Ringwraith, PLUS usually supported by orcs, uruks, fell beasts, Sauron... No really - how do you get prepared with an army of Elves to take ALL of that? I dont think an elvish player can even try to surprise me because truly all Elvish heroes are pretty much the same - not to mention that everyone is just used to having to fight against them... :friends: but dont worry we JUST MIGHT allow you to give up BEFORE the end of the game :rofl: but you have to be nice :wizard:

yes mumakil are semi easy to take down with elven bows, but tell me, what happens when you don't know one is on the board, such as in tournaments. of course if you DO know that one is on the board, you are going to stock up with as many bowmen or mere mumak fodder as you can! and when you concentrate on the mumak, you are then attacked by the rest of our troops!

Have you ever noticed that elven players take as much bows as they can? I use at least 13 archers per battle. When you use rest of your troops, do you mean 30 sweaty ragheads?

yes i mean attacking you with 30 sweaty rag heads and some Easterlings AND OOoopsie i just might give you hero there... how much units can 13 bowmen take out if one uses his/hers intelligence and acctually hides from the bows and fires his own at your archers (4+, 1es save) tihs means that an army od ragheads can takke much more than 13 archers - thus slowly reduce yorur 13 archers to something that has no harm...

You know strangely I never have that problem zAk, and I get to play against Harad quite often. Harad really doesn't have that much to boast. You have ONE standard troop 4 heroes, and a mumak. OH MY GOD. Please don't hurt us ... Hasharii aren't that effective against troops that tie the fight, or heroes that beat them. Your king is pitifully weak in comparison to ours. As well if we use troops without armor your troops are only a point less taking much of your numerical advantage away. Which to be honest is you only REAL advantage. Poison arrows? not much of a threat, there's a small chance of it going off and a smaller chance of it wounding.
Now lets talk about the sculps, I was speaking of the wood elves not the high elves. The high elf plastics are some what lacking in variety, but as quality plastics go they're pretty nicely sculped. The new wood elves are very nice the plastics are good and the metal sculptings are great. Celeborn armored is one of the best sculps out there. Haldirs elves, quality, Lothlorien elves,-quality, aside from the monkey twins which with a good paint job can look great, there isn't a badly sculped elven hero.
Easterlings? I'd like to point out that Harad and Khand/Rhun are two completely seperate armies.
Superior numbers? Ask your allegiance leader what happens to those when the terrain renders those number useless.
While if we don't know a Mumak is on the table, big whoop, all it takes is to set up appropriately to minimalize it's effectiveness.
Predictable? Not from my experience, we have enough options to keep things interesting. I could choose to use take a magic offensive hero, supported with archers . A combat force with a beastly hero like Celeborn, or a light effective force with captains, or a mix of any of those. I don't think you play against any good elven players personally.
lotrchampion
04-22-2006, 05:32 PM
I play against High Elves most weekends, and while the tactics employed by them can be varied, the troops choices are less varied than Harad. Now, I'm not getting into a pointless argument about 'we have better troop choices' and 'we have a pwning FV and C', all I'm going to say is that it really depends on the gamer. I've known people to use the Refused Flank tactic with High Elves against my Haradrim and get their backsides handed to them and Gil-galad sent home in an ambulance. However, I've also known the same manuvore to be extremely effective.
Elves have a wider range of heroes of a more diverse sort than the Haradrim, but thats not to say they can't be defeated. And I'm not on about the Hashariun. You're right, Hasharin aren;t always amazingly effective, but they scare the willies out of anyone who faces one, and for that reason alone they are incredible valuable.
Sculpts-wise, the High Elf sculpts are a joy to paint, as are the metal Wood Elves. The plastic wood elves look terrible in my opinion from seeing them at my GW, but thats just me. The Haradrim are, in my opinion, amongst the best plastic sculpts in the whole range. However, the new Uruk-hai scouts may rival them for that IMO.
Terrain rendering numbers of Haradrim useless? Sky, Sky, what have you been doing? I playted a game against a High Elf army the other week, in a board literally covered in woodland. I was able to attack in 10 different places at once, flanking and drowning the Elves in the sheer numbers of bodies, and as soon as they came to an open clearing, they came in sight of my archers. Numbers is a major strength for Harad, but yes, Elves can counter it if used right.
I'm personally taking both Haradrim and High Elves to the LOTR GT 2007, so I think I can judge fairly on this. Both have strengths, both have weaknesses. But in the end, in the GT, each can only take a maximum of 16 bow armed models if you stretch them to the 50 model limit, and in that respect I'd prefer 16 High Elves with Elf Bows. However, points-wise, Haradrim can be more effiecient. It really depends how you play, who you play, how they play and the field you play on.

hmm.......
Harad really doesn't have that much to boast. You have ONE standard troop 4 heroes, and a mumak. OH MY GOD. Please don't hurt us ...
actually two troops types if you count the raiders. ill give you that you have more heros but how many of those are point efficiant. You have Haldir, Galadrial, Celeborn, Gwahir(sp?) treebeard, and legolas. and of course captians. hmm wow, thats 2 more than us! big deal. plus you only have ONE troop type at the moment, your elven cavalry are mere house rules!
Your king is pitifully weak in comparison to ours
true enough, but ours it also less points, so that isn't a great point!
As well if we use troops without armor your troops are only a point less taking much of your numerical advantage away. Which to be honest is you only REAL advantage. Poison arrows? not much of a threat, there's a small chance of it going off and a smaller chance of it wounding.
yeah, but the poisen arrows become a lot more important when you leave off armour, considering that we only need i dice roll of five then. it would be equal wounding opportunites, and then our armies would have a better chance against you. so your tatic of taking off your armour to get more numbers wouldn't be a complete blowout, but merely a different type of game than before!

all of that is merely your opinion, and nothing more. i think that the Haradrim are some of the best looking, thats why i chose them. the mahud cheiften is very very detailed, and with the exclusion of Suladan(i don't like the model very much, which many can agree) we have some of the coolest sculpts there are as well, along with the biggest plastic model GW has produced! yes the elves look good, but neither of us know how detailed the new plastics are, because neither of us have seen them in real life!
and Khand and the Easterlings, may i point out, are BONZA looking!
Easterlings? I'd like to point out that Harad and Khand/Rhun are two completely seperate armies.
not true, the mercs of Khand can work anywhere. leaving that point aside, it is known that they ALL fought together at one point in time, according to Tolkien. they had an alliance, so for themed purposes, they CAN be used together. if you want to put it that way, Great eagles and ents are completely different armies too, yet many use those together! they are all connected in some way, and Khand and Harad are right next to each other. khand connects the two, and they both fight on the evil side! it is safe to say that these armies together are indeed themed in some way.
Superior numbers? Ask your allegiance leader what happens to those when the terrain renders those number useless.
While if we don't know a Mumak is on the table, big whoop, all it takes is to set up appropriately to minimalize it's effectiveness.
it is true that the last time i played you, i had initally superior numbers and it came very close, with my mumak dying! however that was completely my fault, a player error. it was a bad choice, one that won't happen again. also, it was only my second battle ever using a mumak. had i set up differently, or had all the troops that were on my side under my command, it think that the battle would have turned out differently!(not patricks fault either, but still, it would have been different)
as for terrain rendering my numbers useless, thats because the uruks went into the forest, and didn't attack where i thought right. that was the case of having team battles. the regular haradrim had no problem with terrain. Ask me what, whether or not i didn't get along with my partner for a few turns and you said it rendered me useless. that was a low blow, and you know it.
Predictable? Not from my experience, we have enough options to keep things interesting. I could choose to use take a magic offensive hero, supported with archers . A combat force with a beastly hero like Celeborn, or a light effective force with captains, or a mix of any of those. I don't think you play against any good elven players personally
again, id like to point out that other than heros, you only have ONE troop type. yes they have weapons options, which i suppose some may say that keeps things interesting, but thats an opinion again, not fact.
my two cents, be they what they may!
best,

Hehe, I was wondering how ling it would take you to post on that, and I was just trying to rattle your cage. At the moment we do have one troop type, until next month when we will have several and new heroes as well.
On the note that Harad and Rhun are connected that would be trough Sauron and little else.
It was an interesting battle though eh? I would point out that due to the terrain it was only your harad trapped in that enclove between two terrifying enemies, the uruks never came to aid. :P Again just trying to yank your chain, so no hard feelings.
AS far as heroes go we also have
Gildor (which again thanks for him)
Thranduil, with themed armies including
Arwen
and the Monkey Twins seeing as they are the grandchildren of Celeborn and Galadriel.
I do look forward to our next match :)

In the year 1944, the Haradrim and the Variags made a pact with the Easterling barbarians called Wainriders. The purpose of their allegiance was to achieve a simultaneous two-pronged attack on Gondor
true enough, but im hoping that GW will also come out with more Harad stuff in the redoing of RotK, or at least some corsairs!
anyway, ill quit taking over your thead, ill be off,
best,

Glorfindel is a Noldor, the only times he was around the Sindar are during the campaign against the Necromancer. Radagast though being able to theme in the armies is not an elf. We were speaking of the Sindar. So I did not forget them.

The Monkey Twins are also Noldor, yet they were also included on the list.

Techically speaking they are not Noldor, as they were born in Middle Earth and thus are second generation. To add to that they can be themed easily as I said because they are the grandchildren of the rulers of Lorien.

Gildor was an exile, was he not? Exile is generally in reference to the Exile of the Noldor from Valinor, bringing on the Doom of Mandos, etc etc. So he could be said to be a Noldor! :P

Gildor is Noldo, in the Book Tolkien says that Gildor is an elf of house of Finrod, and Finrod was Noldo.
