Hi all
over on TLA I've seen quite a few dream armies with Lobelia SB in them
which leads me to this question: Why?

shes 10 points and its almost impossible for her to kill anything so why is she so good?
she has some interesting special rules (no stand fast) but with only 2 defence won't she just be wiped on the floor?

could someone clear this up?
TIA

Because if you play her you have tactical advantage on your opponent in the deploying fase.

She could also be in a "dream army" because she's nigh inmpossible to field,

and because of how big Hobbit hordes can be.

Au contraire, likely most of the good armies will have lobelia and the other hobbit fat hero( 5 point value )
it is like having 2 warband free.

they are indipendent hero---- hobbit armies cannot go over 65 models, not a horde really.

By nigh impossible to field, I mean becas=use she is OOP and an incredibly rare model to find. So, it many people's dream to actually own the model.

About the horde stuff, pity they don't have generic Cptns.

Only £12, it normally goes for upwards of £40-50.

I don't think there is a reason there is no hobbit generic cpt other than GW doesn't make a model
I don't play in GW stores or tournaments or buy Finecast or limit myself to GW models so I no longer limit my self to GW list.
