If you lose priority and then call a Heroic Move... you still go first, you still move 8", you still can't charge them (because they're 8.5" away), and then they still charge into you (or move further away). No Trample. And you've lost a Might point.

On the one hand, if you happen to draw a kill-count mission with this force (like Lords of Battle), you're in good shape. Spread-out-and-capture missions (like Reconnoitre, or Domination if you spread out your two objectives) are also usually okay if you go with a large mounted contingent (unless there's a ton of difficult terrain on the board). But that assumes you have the points to field a large mounted contingent (which, as you'll see in the sample lists below, usually means 600+ points at a minimum, and probably 800+ minimum to build a list that feels "competitive"). At verylow model counts, most of your models are probablygoing to be in the howdah, just to keep them safe. That makes "spread-out-and-capture" missions much harder. Especially if...

Tolkien, J. R. R. (1954a). The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. OCLC 9552942. The good news is that your heroes are either very well protected (i.e., they're riding a giant Mumak) or they're very fast (because they're normally mounted), and therefore hopefully difficult to catch and pin-down. The bad news is that they're all low defense, and none of them are particularly good in a fight (except of course for Hasharii, although they doesn't help your Might issue at all). Radcliffe, Doug. "The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II Game Guide. Walkthrough: Evil Campaign". Gamespot. CBS Interactive. In the Pelennor Fields level of the Return of the Kingvideo game, the player must kill two to a multitude of Mûmakil (depending on how much the Witch-king is damaged each round). They must be killed with ranged weapons. There is also one featured in the Southern Gate level. Rythbryt: We come to it at last... the greatest legendary legion tax of our time. Until Sauron gets one (and maybe that's coming), this is it, and it's hard to imagine it'll be topped by any other kind of list. On top of that, it's also the legion that sports the largest modelin the range (other than Smaug, of course... but I'd be verysurprised if he gets a legion--wouldn't you?). Finally, while it may not be the legion that requires the largest points limitto play (my vote would be for the Grey Company), if you're playing a smallpoints level, building this legion will probably give you the most fits.

With all that emphasis on killing power, I guess something had to give (don't tell that to Iron Hills Dwarves, though). Apart from a few heroes, the Serpent Horde caps out at Defense 4 (or Defense 3 on your Watchers of Karna). That's usually okay in the fight phase (Strength 3 models usually still need 5s to wound you, and you still have average-to-above-average Fight value to win combats), but it can make impact hits in the move phase (Khand, Iron Hills, Far Mahud) and prolonged shooting wars (against crossbows in particular) bloody affairs. Speaking of which... Tyler, J. E. A. (2002). The Complete Tolkien Companion. Pan Books. pp.307–308. ISBN 978-0-330-41165-3. If you win priority and call a Heroic March (so you can move 11"), they call a Heroic Move... and everything is exactly the same as above (because a Heroic March isn't a Heroic Move). Still no Trample. While there are other armies who have unique wargear options, Far Harad has three that really define their army and set it apart on the table-top. Rather than burying these unique options in profile discussions, I thought it might be good to discuss them all in one spot. But if this doesn't work for you, be sure to blame Fred in the comments. Given that most armies at 800 are going to be fielding at least two combat heroes, you probably want someone with Heroic Strike in that spot, which means either Suladan or a Mahud King. So here's what those lists might look like:

More sneakily, having Suladan means we also have a second model who can call a Heroic Strike or March (both of which are very handy). This not only means we can do more things with more places, but it also means we actually might be able to get that Heroic Combat off with the War Leader's Mumak (he calls the Combat, Suladan calls the Strike, and we hope no one botches anything important). Rappelling Lines: One of the coolest and most cinematic options available to your War Mûmak, this upgrade allows those in the howdah to disembark and help out in combat, or capture objectives in matched play games. One of my favourite things to do with Rappelling Lines is to place a few Half Trolls of Far Harad in the howdah, then have them drop down and swing into action! The Middle-earth Grand Tournament recently shook the rafters at Warhammer World, with generals from all over the world duking it out to be crowned champion. This annual event is one of the biggest in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game calendar, and is as much about showcasing beautifully painted armies as it is battling. The word Oliphaunt is a variant spelling of the archaic word oliphant meaning "elephant", "ivory", "elephant-tusk", "musical horn made of an elephant tusk", or "a musical instrument resembling such a horn". It appears in Middle English as olifant or olifaunt, and was borrowed from Medieval French olifanz. The French word owes something to both Old High German olbenta "camel", and to Latin elephantus "elephant", a word of Greek origin. OHG olbenta is a word of old Germanic origin; cf. Gothic ulbandus also meaning "camel". However, the form of the OHG and Gothic words suggests it is also a borrowing, perhaps indeed directly or indirectly from Greek elephas (ελεφας), meaning "ivory", though apparently with some confusion as to the animal the word referred to. The word survives as the surname "Oliphant" found throughout the English-speaking world. Olifant is also the Dutch word for elephant.a b Bowers, John M. (2019). Tolkien's Lost Chaucer.
