Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Sure, Taelord is a little more mobile, but that Strider has way more offensive punch and can get into position without OMs. For 40 points less. That makes him way better for any Army that can use his Melee attack boost.

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
Aragorn's transition to becoming a king was a slow one. I feel his deeds at Helm's Deep was during this transition period, and is more of an Elessar attribute.

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
For an offensive power, why not reuse C3G's Swordplay? That's what I used (with a new name and very minor tweaks).

What melee army do you use Taelord in right now that would be obsolete because of Aragorn? |

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
LazyO, unfortunately Swordplay has a lot of tricky edge-cases and just plain weird interactions when moved over to a Classic interpretation of power-text. C3G wand-waves all that away but that won't work for us. I love it as a C3G power though.

(By the way, both Taelord/Rats armies did REALLY well.) So you seem to be worried that Aragorn will displace Taelord in a mostly Rats army, which turns out to be a tiny percentage of Taelord armies. Usually he is paired with ranged units. I really don't like how you so quickly dismissed my suggested special ability with such a weak argument. Just say you don't like it--I can accept that. But don't try to back it up and make it sound like an official ruling by spouting that he'll displace Taelord when he really won't. When people do that it makes me upset. |

-- EDIT: And the use of rats with Taelord is not a point in your favor. Those armies both went 5-0 and were, I'm sure, very obnoxious to play against. A 140 Taelord for rats means they get an additional squad. Also consider the Axegrinders with that. They wouldn't even need a bonding hero. It just seems like a bad idea to me from top-to-bottom.

As LazyO said: Quote:
Not only that, but if it's a power issue in playtesting we can raise Aragorn's points. I wasn't locked into 140 points. Make his points 200 and now Taelord is a better bet in ranged armies and probably also in melee armies. You don't want the power on Strider, fine. I didn't realize we were confining Strider to The Fellowship of the Ring and not including his role in the Two Towers. But since we are, I'll save that power for Aragorn the coming king.

180 Taelord 80 Raelin 210 3xAxegrinders + filler (or Darrak) would be a decent army to take to a tournament. or even: 180 Taelord 210 3xAxegrinders 110 Migol Ironwill I don't know that it has been done, though it sounds interesting to try. Quote:
Furthermore, if I wasn't clear enough before, Taelord's undefeated success both times he was used with a pile o' rats makes me 100% opposed to reusing that aura for melee figures on any hero that is either cheaper or more potent. Quote:

Re: HoME Brainstorming Thread
If we can't agree on an offensive power, why not a 2-power card?
