Extending the Kingdom of Rohan List with Missing Profiles [Part 4/13]

The next Army List to be extended is the Kingdom of Rohan. Recall from Part 2/12 that the set of missing profiles for The Kingdom of Rohan Army List included the following:
  • King's Huntsman
  • Eomer, King of the Pelennor
  • Helm's Guard
  • Helm Hammerhand
  • King of Men
  • Rohan Outrider Captain
  • Eowyn, Heroine of Helm's Deep
  • Elfhelm
Each of the SBG profiles were considered carefully and determined the best means by which they would be integrated into the WotR list. It was finally decided that there would be 3 new command upgrade heroes, 2 new legendary formations, and 2 new epic heroes from the list above. Also, due to the addition of Eomer and Eowyn's new profiles their existing Epic Hero profiles have been adjusted to capture their function properly.

NEW COMMAND HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN
  1. King's Huntsman
  2. King of Men
  3. Rohan Outrider Captain

1) KING'S HUNTSMAN

The King's Huntsman is now a common hero upgrade option for the following formations:
  • Riders of Rohan Eored
  • Oathsworn Bowmen
The King's Huntsman has a new Special Rule Hunter. It allows the King's Huntsman to inflict automatic hits on enemy formations.

2) KING OF MEN

A King of Men is the same common hero upgrade option that was mentioned in Gondor & Arnor and can be upgraded in the following formations:
  • Oathsworn Militia
  • Oathsworn Bowmen

As seen in the Gondor & Arnor post, the King of Men has been given a new Heroic Special Rule. This is Heroic Strike. The intent of Heroic Strike is to be similar to Epic Strike, just less potent.



NEW LEGENDARY FORMATIONS FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN
  1. Eomer, King of the Pelennor
  2. Helm's Guard (including Helm Hammerhand)
1) EOMER, KING OF THE PELENNOR
Rohan does have any Monsters within their Army List - so it is appropriate for Eomer to fill this role atop his horse on Pelennor Field.










    2) HELM'S GUARD
    Rohan's Original Hero - Helm Hammerhand finally gets his profile!



    UPDATED EPIC HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN
    1. Eowyn, Shield-Maiden of Rohan
    2. Eomer, Marshal of the Riddermark
    1) EOWYN, HEROINE OF HELM'S DEEP
    The existing profile for Eowyn, Shield-Maiden of Rohan within vanilla WotR has been updated for the Disguise rule and the By My Hand Shall You Fall rule. Both of these just didn't seem to have the "powerful effect" of worthy of an Epic Heroine. Furthermore, she was given a second Epic Action, Epic Defense to allow for her versatility. Likewise, the "correct" model is now shown in the profile as well - Eowyn wearing Rohirrim Armor; exposing her identity behind her disguise.


     2) EOMER, MARSHAL OF THE RIDDERMARK



    NEW EPIC HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN
    1. Eowyn, Heroine of Helm's Deep
    2. Elfhelm, Captain of Rohan
    1) EOWYN, HEROINE OF HELM'S DEEP



    2) ELFHELM, CAPTAIN OF ROHAN

      1. Helm Hammerhand's special rule Horn of the Hammerhand gives every Rohan formation Terror till the end of the phase, but surely by the time the Fight phase has started Terror has no affect as it is to late to be used for preventing charges/reducing the effectiveness of enemy formations.

      3. You also forgot to change Urukbane for Éowyn's profile.

      4. Other than that they look really good, I especially liked the Éomer, King of Pelennor profile.
