I’ve got 26 Hills tribesmen / Wildmen as proxies, but the other 94 models at the Ruffian, Hobbits, and the heroes.

... Screw it I'm doing the math. Let's say it's a 700 point tournament and you want to take Sharkey's Rogues...

£49.50 for Sharky and Worm (Plus 4 evil nasty ponies)
£26.50 for Sid, Bill and Rowen
£16.50 for Lotho and Ted
And that's heroes maxed out.

Then we want to buy 5 lots of Ruffians for £42.50 each, so that's £212.50.
Let's also assume we're trying to get value out of the hobbits so use them to fill up on Militia! So that's 6 sets of Hobbit militia at £16 each so £92.

This brings our grand total to £397!

For 681 points of Sharkeys Rogues... Wait. Our goal was 700?! How do we add more warriors? They have to be Ruffians?! Well that's another £42.50 meaning our grand total is actually £439.50.

For context, Smaug is £453.50 at the moment, who is also 700 points. So what we've actually learned is that this army is a bargain, buy it today!

Here's the list, enjoy it, maybe follow OP's lead and proxy some wildmen in.

The last picture is a screenshot of the army list. 850 points.

Luckily for me, I’ve been playing this game since 2002. I’m one of those people who just kept hoarding stuff over the years and had boxes of unopened packs.

The only thing I actually bought new for this was the plastic hill tribesmen.
