The Hobbit DoomDiver!

More or less it is a giant ballista, however instead of firing bolts it fires Hobbits in hangglider (with a spear in front) that can pilot the missile at the enemies. Surely a 1:1 ratio of hobbit to troll losses would be acceptable.
Silly Dwarf. A better version lies right under your beard. Dwarven DoomDivers carry more weight (the 'm' in F=ma), are more resistant to flak/countermeasures due to steel mailshirts, have a slightly better survival rate (okay, so it's still almost zero) and if conscious after impact may say something sarcastic regarding elvish princes - what's not to like?

I hear that recruitment has already started...don't wait til the last minute as you still have your choice of hang glider color.
