That moment when the dwarves’ spinning ballista bolts shredded the first volley of arrows and then annihilated the front line of eleven archers was absolutely shocking… the look on Thranduil’s face was priceless. Truly one of the best modifications of defensive / offensive artillery weapons I’ve ever seen on a battle field.

[@yevgenyleontyev]

Khazâd Ballistae reload speed is admirable. Why not use all bolts break the elven formation, then charge in with the dwarven phalanx and flank the elves with goats? Yanâd Durinul! Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!

[@garyhomanick6129]

@@yevgenyleontyev Yes, I agree… there are many ways the spinning ballista bolts could be used to break the elven battle formations… especially if they are fired in a cluster at varying altitudes and at different times… what a nightmare for anyone standing down range at The Gates of Erebor! The only defense against such artillery would be to form two parallel columns of troops that literally create a wide area of open ground for the bolts to miss completely. The archers would then be restricted to firing arrows horizontally at the advancing dwarves’ battle rams. Btw, nice touch with the Khuzdul… Translation: “Sons of Durin! The axes of the dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!” Khazâd, indeed! 😜
