Hi all
Ive been on the site for a while now and ive been looking at other peoples army lists and its got me pretty excited about collecting LOTR mini's again and building up an army. I used to play SBG quite alot but became incensed by the ammount of new models coming out and the different rulebooks i needed for newer models. Along with a serious lack of finances to continue my collection, i gave it up. Since then i seperated from my girlfriend and lost my complete collection
. About 1500 pts worth of Mordor with WK on fellbeast, 2 trolls and a catapult!Anyway, onto pastures new and with a new format to the game (and i have to be honest, the way id prefer to play the game
), i had the WoTR book bought for me. With this i checked out how the game is played and i generally love what theyve done with the game. Being a big fan of the Mordor army ive decided to go for them as my evil army, ive also decided to collect a good army and with this ive gone for a Gondor army.One question i have to you guys is, whats the best points to play with ? I will only be playing on a rainy day and not neccessarily looking to get into huge battles. Atm i have capped it at 500.... is this good enough to work with or should i at least look to increase to 750pts ?
Im still learning the game a bit but i have a good idea which models i want to buy, and atm, i have a bit of spare cash to get the core troops for my selections, Which are as follows:
Army of the Morranon:
Leader:
Gothmog = 110 pts
Common Formations:
Morranon Orc Warband x3 companies (Banner bearer, shields) = 100 pts
Mordor Orc Warband x3 companies (banner, captain, drummer & shields) = 160 pts
Mordor Orc Archers x2 companies = 30 pts
Warg Rider Warband x3 companies (captain & banner) = 95 pts Total = 495
Gothmog will be housed within the Morranon Orc WB
Army of Morthond:
Leader:
Faramir = 90 pts
Common Formations:
Minas Tirith Warriors x4 companies (banner) = 135 pts
Minas Tirith Knights x3 companies = 75 pts
Legendary Formation:
Blackroot Vale Archers x3 companies = 155 pts Total = 455 pts
Faramir will be housed with the Warriors of MT
Im a little stuck and im not sure if im on the right path.... Would really appreciate your feedback
