you can ally whatever you want, as long as its the same (good or evil) but its hard to ally different armies because it tends to be expensive, and if you do but keep it low point cost, the army is smaller and not as balanced. But it varies, you can get a good, well sized army, for a low point cost.

But with you allying WoMT, and the elves together really goes against the story or the LotR. You never see elves alligning themselves with the WoMT. If you do deicde to ally all the elves, im supposing you mean the HE in the last alliance, and the wood elves of Lothorien in The Two Towers, and the unarmoured ones in The Fellowship of the Ring, AND then ally some Warriors of Minas Tirith in there toom, and all the heroes of both races. This is going to be another huge army, and very unfluffy. But its up to you

Thank you that was it, but about the whole fluff thing this is going to be like after Aragon becomes king and like they need to reunite because a new evil has risen or something like that (Talking about the heroes and the elves w/minas tirith)

Indeed, you can. http://uk.games-workshop.com/hobbits/

Thanks you, I am also wondering which book the rules for hobbit-folk would be in.

Thanks in advance!

All the rule for hobbits can be found in the supplement, the scoring of the shire. here: http://us.games-workshop.com/games/l...talog/book.htm

I do not have the book nor have I read it. But I heard that a hobbit model cost very little in game term, like 2 or 3 points each. So you will need quite a number of them in a small game like 300pt. I personally have not met a single person who play hobbit, only collector, so I don't really have a lot of info on them. IMO they are great and humorous army and their models looks great.

Hope that helps.

[hit 'em hard]

there is onli 2 way to kill a balrog. use either aragorn with all upgrade except horse/ or take about 50 woddelve all wiv bows celeborn and galdrial and shoot it to pieces.

There is another way.

A Mumakil will kill it with ease. Any one who has got white dwarf recently should find it at the back. (it might be last mounths though)
Rudgie took his mumak against a balrog and won 5 times out of 5! :eek:

[Marlinspike]

Thanks again!

Wow, I like the idea of fielding a horde of angry halflings intent on finishing the battle quickly so they can eat lunch

[hit 'em hard]

oh, and if you are fighting against a mumak, SOOT IT!!! keep shooting and target the oliphaunt. it will die eventually.

To kill the Balrog, Benio, just take Aragorn with Auranduril, lots of spearmen, and Gandalf. Just charge it. The Balrog is only worth it's points because it is intimmidating. Shoot it first though.
