Tactical discussion: Countering (movie) Wargs
Think of them as sort of light cavalry, only smellier, and with bigger teeth.

You mean the Hyena-Lemmings?
Make sure that you are fighting them near the edge of a steep precipice. Like Balrogs (and lemmings), they have a tendency to fall over the edge. Unlike Balrogs, they don't have wings ... :p ;)
Or pit them against real Wargs. |

How would I counter them? Well, I prefer Gandalf's approach in The Hobbit- FLAMING PINECONES!! |
Against the movie 'Wargs' I would feel pretty relaxed with some smart archers. You wouldn't need too great an imagination.
As for real Wargs, well, I would need at least seven weeks of preparation, and even then it would only give me the possibility of a fighting chance. I would probably suggest the hiring of several Maiar. |

Actually, movie wargs don't really look a whole lot like Andrewsarchus to me. They seem more like hyenas. An Andrewsarchus's head looks a lot weirder. (the really long snout, mostly). Yes, I do know what this thing is. (Mesonychid from the late Eocene epoch of Mongolia, to be exact. :smokin: )
But anyway, I think the Weird Mutant Hyena Things mostly fight out of hunger, so throw 'em a few dog treats and you'll be fine. Of course, if you just stay out of their way for a while, they'll probably all jump off a cliff for absolutely no reason and save you the trouble. |
Throw them an Aragorn. Then they'll definitely take the plunge. :D
Neurion, you need to brush up on your knowledge of Wargs. I suggest a visit to The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread. Over seven pages now of blood, treachery, war, and heroism. I'd like to see Gimli and Legolas joking around with true Wargs after them. |
Movie wargs- Mounted spearmen would be the way to go. If the warg jumps at ya, just hold the spear as firm as you can and the beast will impale itself.
Real wargs- Just kick the little wimps in the head- they're weak. |

In Middle Earth long range weapons such as arrows and javelins would probably be one's best choice for countering wargs. Also if they charge, pikes would be able to stop them.
But if I happened to be walking down the street and saw a warg I would 1st: verbally make fun of the way it looks; 2nd use the Force to stop it from moving, and then I would pull out my red lightsaber and finish the job like the excellent Sith warrior I am. The warg's journey would not end there. I would put the dead creature in the back seat of my car and then at home make a nice stew out of it. |
