I found good information and companies suggestions spread in the forum here, but I thought it would be nice if it could be all in one place. Please post your companies suggestions here to be a one place stop for people interested in playing battle companies.

A link to download rules and all battle companies in a single PDF file. Makes life lot easier. I'll keep all links posted as backup too.
Thanks to the anonymous contributor! :wink:

Yeah, thanks alot. I was constructing a couple of battle comapnies but now one of them (Easterlings) is practically done for me.

EDIT: Here is a wood elf BC that I have modified from its original to fit wood elves. Let me know what you think.
Wood Elf Ambushers Starting Force
2 Wood Elves w/elf bow, 1 Wood Elf w/spear, 2 Wood Elves w/elf blade, armoured

Wood Elf Ambushers Influence:
1=No Effect
2=Wood elf w/elf bow
3= Wood elf w/elf blade
4= Wood elf w/spear
5=choose 1 of the above
6=re-roll on the below table

1-2 = Armoured wood elf w/spear
3-4= Armoured wood elf w/elf blade
5-6= Wood elf w/elf bow and cloak

Wood Elf Ambushers Promotion table:
Unarmoured Elf – Wood Elf Sentinel
Armoured Elf – Armoured Knight

Wood Elf Ambushers Equipment Options:
Elf bow= 1 ID
Shield=1 ID
Throwing weapon (daggers)=2 ID
Horse=2 ID
Armor=1 ID
Elf blade=1 ID
Spear=1 ID
Elf cloak = 2 ID

Wood Elves Hero have the possibility of using light magic:
Magic:
1. Call Winds.
2. Renew
3. Aura of Dismay
4. Immobilise
5. choose
6. Choose

Special Rules:

Thanks to their incredibly long lives, Elves have far more time to hone their skills in battle. An Elf Hero can increase his Fight value to a maximum of 7, instead of 6 like other races.

Terror. An Elven lord in all his glory is a terrifying foe for the forces of Evil. This Hero causes Terror as described in the main rules manual. Any Elven Hero can select this special rule, instead of rolling for a new special rule on one of the existing tables.

It is always good to see someone using some initiative. Next time I have some coins lying around, I'll give you one.

I am glad it helped guys.

I added some name generator links. I find it nice to give unique names to warriors and easier for following up their progress.

@Noddwyr: I think this follows the same line as the Rivedell battle company above, so looks fine too me though I am not much into elves so someone more familiar with them would give you better ideas.

on the other hand, I have a note on some GW battle companies that they don't hit the same common points level as most of the battle companies. most of the companies are around 60 points, but I find some of the companies are very low on points, for instance Rivendell have 43 points only. doesn't that affect there chances and creates an unbalanced game?

I would like to know what everybody thinks about that?

A gold coin to you! :-D

Noddwyr · **Posted:** Mon Jun 07, 2010 9:59 pm

@muslimRohirrim thanks for the response. :-D

I am not sure if it creates an unbalanced game as I havent played before, but once I try ill let you know.

I've found that while they are quite slow for me, they will work eventually.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, and the coins :-D

It's kinda slow as looks it's archived on a slower network. hopefully for transition later on, but I recommend saving the pages to your pc just in case they drop the links.

@Noddwyr: yes please let us know when you try it. generally I think they should all be at same point level as this is the main balancing mechanism in the game. otherwise that's like stating that point system is not that balanced, I guess.

It's slow for me too, but it works eventually. Just be patient.
