I have bits from all over the shop> I was just wondering before I buy specific characters, whose cos effective, who are the tactically awesome characters /units that can supplement LOTR armies. I may start anew from the hobbit, or ally a few with LOTR. I haven't seen the stats, but it'd be nice for some advice with regards to the new minitures-who to avoid, who's good. I think Tauriel is awesome in the film, but I dont want to splash 15 for a useless character. Does that help Mr Mystery? Others please comment!

Think the new releases are cool. bard looks nice, as does gandalf. The laketown warriors are nice, but not collectable. How good is bard in a game?
