This is something that my character will have picked up on his journey. I have changed some words so instead of new zealand or all blacks it is mittelmarch but it is still intimidating, the last one is the best. The blue is the leader, the yellow is the team, the green is all, (only if not already specified) and the red is the english.
Here are the videos too:

gonna be honest. People chanting and shouting does not intimidate me. Large men in black armor who say nothing but all wield flails, longswords and large shields don't either. And anyone who needs intimidation probably will only be by your performance on the field.

The haka is awesome. And until you've done something like the haka (that is to say, moving and chanting/shouting in unison with a group), you don't really understand what it means. Honestly, I don't see it as being very intimidating to any experienced fighter. I think the bigger impact something like this has is to give a group unity like I've not seen in any Dagorhir realm or unit.

Rojji - I think something like this would be better utilized in a Unit setting. And I would also recommend making it your own. That is, instead of performing a haka that is as famous as the kamate, come up with your own war dance. I'd suggest involving the guys who are part of your unit (which may mean waiting until you've got a unit to come up with the dance). That will make it mean a lot more to them than you know.

For those who doubt the effectiveness of something like this... remember the scene in 300 where the Spartans meet the Arcadians on the road, and King Leonidas asks his men...

"Spartans! What is your profession?"
"AH-OOO! AH-OOO! AH-OOO!"

If that shouting and unified spear-raising didn't fire you up and even give you goosebumps... maybe you're right.
