Strategy[edit]
Dunlending Madman is an inexpensive minion whose middling strength makes him quick work for the Fellowship's main fighters. However, when played alongside more threatening minions such as Hillman Tribe (4C25) or Dunlending Pillager (4U13) the Free Peoples is often forced to assign him to support characters who have no hopes of winning. With the boost to 9 strength in the fierce skirmish, he can now appropriately challenge the stronger companions and, perhaps with a little help from Burn Every Village (4C5) or spare vitality from Saruman, Rabble-rouser (4R33) , put two wounds on the Fellowship at minimal cost.
Note that while it may be tempting to beef him up with Iron Axe (4C26) for a 10/12 strength minion, for the same twilight you could put War Club (4U36) on Dunlending Robber (4C16) for an 11/13 strength minion with the ability to discard items.
Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]
Strong Versus...[edit]
- Fellowships with only one or two strong skirmishers, such as choke or Hobbit-centric decks
Weak Versus...[edit]
- Fellowships without many weak skirmishers, such as Ents
- Fellowships with lots of wounding, as this character is rarely worth saving with Hides (4R19)
Rulings[edit]
- Strength bonus can be stacked with other effects, such as War Cry of Dunland (4C37) or Living Off Rock (4U27) .
See Also[edit]
- The post-shadows Men minion, Crazed Hillman (12C60) , is very similar to this card but with a much higher strength bonus.
