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.

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

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?

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. :)
