Just finished one uni exam today and jumped ingame to give them a try, I didnt get to recruit them due to stopping playing right after claiming Gundabad back but it seems I assumed badly that 20 armor would offset the 2 hitpoints (which to be hones flew over my head when I wrote that). They do perform better than Durin Chosen and nobles by a big margin in situations where they are flanked or in unfavourable terrain, just pitted them against a few goblin units and they are the best defenetely, in fact they 1v1 Moria Elite goblins getting flanked from all sides and win with 62-77 models alive which is incredible performance, completely misjudged them probably one of the best if not the best unit in the roster. I stand completely corrected in regard to that unit. Worth claiming Gundabad to get them indeed.
