Very nicely done. It all makes logical sense. The only thing I'm not keen on is 'Terrifying Fleetmaster'. For me I don't feel a Corsair embodies what is needed (size, evil essence, etc.) to cause Terror. Just my thought though.

Battle companies are really not my thing - I prefer somewhat larger possibilities, with more adherence to the spirit of the Tolkien books and yet a greater range of combat scenarios.

But well done for getting a neat and timely article published!

Thanks guys.

The thing that made me choose Terrifying fleetmaster was more the fact that that particular Fleetmaster was supposed to be a more frightening sight to see due to his wildness and barbarianism (?). It was just my opinion on things and obviously not everbody is going to agree with me :)

Thanks :)

As the standard of articles we try to accept is so high here at One Ring, not many gaming articles make it through, however we let this one slip the net :wink:

For me, I guess I would have liked to see it all playtested and the results included in the article.

Well laid out though !

Yeah... I'm sorry for forgetting to add the playtesting notes into the article. I can post up some notes on my playtesting here if you really want me to? And again, I'm sorry for not including them into the article itself.

And can I also add my thanks to Brian for proofing the article :wink:

A Reavers' only wargear is a pair of swords (hand weapons).

gee, they don't even have throwing weapons? That kinda ruins the ranged style of the army in my opinion, but it's still a good article :D !

With F5 and 2 attacks they're kinda like Corsair berserkers. Throwing things at the enemy to soften them up may not occur to them. Even if they did have daggers all I could see them doing is just putting one between their teeth before charging in. Just for effect.
