Haldir, Galadhrim Captain

 Time to finish my general for the 500 points tournament in november, in case as the reserve player I should be needed to join in.

 

And that is none other then Haldir, in his armoured version as seen on the Battle of Helm's Deep.

 

Commanding the Galadhrim, the elite warriors of Lothlorien, he comes with heavy armour and an Elven bow, and he is a solid all round hero for the game, especially on these lower values.  Helped for a high Fight stat due to him being an Elf, he also has the "One Final Blow" special rule should he fall in melee like he did in the movies (though nowhere near did he die in combat in the books).  Add to that the Expert Shot and Sharpshooter generic special rules, and you have a great centerpiece.

 

The model is the classic metal cast, and I painted him up as movie accurate as possible, with a reddish leather chest piece, black robes and a reddish cloak.  Now to get his warband assembled and painted in the coming months between deadlines of other projects, and all will get ready nicely on time as a result.

 

And hopefully get a few games of the new edition in in between to get a hang of the rules, because it has been from the early days of third edition that I played MESBG...
