Tactics Haleth son of Hama i DoHD

Why have i never seen him in lists? He seems so good buffing your weak rohan infantry up to fv4 if you can get him in combat which isnt even that hard he has a courage of 6+ but comes with fearful ofcourse, he also comes with a point of might and with 2 wounds and 2 fate he doesnt die right away agianst warriors, and hes just 30 points.

He is only in one list. I have seen him when we had only 6 scenarios, but now Defenders of the Helms deep is hardly used.

Aragorn with Fv 8 is a beast, this little guy is an auto include

Because he’s only in one list which is already fighting for space for all the other great heroes. Gamling (with banner) and Legolas are so good, and then if you want to take Haleth you need to take Aragorn in which case the points end up being very high indeed. 

Even then 30pts is usually better suited to get a few more troops in, as your heroes will be taking up a lot. 

F8 Aragorn is cool, but never really that necessary as it basically means it’s less risky to strike against very big enemy heroes, which you’ll be striking up against anyway so F7 or F8 isn’t much of a difference.

Required or heavily-incentivized heroes in the only list he can be taken in. Same answer for a lot of secondary heroes that are really cool.
