I have decided to create a new much needed troop type for high elves.
As you can guess by the title - They are called the Rangers of Finrod.
I am just finishing the first set of rules for these stealthy soldiers.
They will be out soon - I Promise

Very nice. Medium points too for a good model. Are they heros? You should put in normal infantry too. |

They are sort of rangers of the north based. I might create a captain for the finrod rangers...  Would you prefer a named or unnamed character

Fight of 7 appears high, considering that's what Glorfindel is at. Your rangers should be F5 and the hero F6. I'm assuming they all have the woodland creature special rule? |

You are right, i shall reduce the fight value to your suggested amount. Yes, I will add the woodland creature rule to their profile. |

Sorry 'bout this, but could you maybe lower both Fight points (hero's and warrior's)? They're like really good heros, like Aragorn, or Boromir. |

sorry but i cannot lower the fight value any more as they already have the F value of an elf soldier and captain. If I lower it any more, then the fight value of the rangers will be lower than a standard elf soldier - I can't do that!!!! |

change the 'bow' in the profile for 'elf bow', it might cause misunderstandings. i like the profiles! Mabye it's nice to make them unique to elven forces. Put them in there own list and let them only ally to elves or something. |

What would it cost to give them Expert Shot? Maybe that's overkill. Anyway, between this and WD's Elf Mage, I really like the ideas lately. Elves are soooo in need of expansion. |
