Hi, I've been collecting easterlings and corsairs for quite a while now, but we've started playing 500pts at my games workshop, so I've decided to err away from my old lists and experiment using an all hero list.

I was going to do;

Amdur
Khamul
Knight of umbar
Dalymyr
Khandish chieftain

Because I had the models, but I've decided that I wouldn't mind buying other models to make my sort of evil 'fellowship'. My friends don't usually take any fight 6 or more characters, so that's not too bad, but I'm looking to include a selection of evil characters that benefit each other really well.

I will mostly be playing:

Isengard
Gondor
Druhzag spider/warg list

So what do you guys reckon? (500pts btw)

It seems solid, though it will attract, allot of enemy attention and is easily out numbered and at 495pts base leaves your characters with almost no options.

Yes, I know, that's why I'm trying to redo the list, namely to not include 2 ringwraiths because although they are good supporters, they add very little in the way of boosting my own heroes or being combat powerhouses.

An evil fellowship would be cool, maybe make a little story around it and you will get an awesome list!

Evil Fellowship= 9 Ringwraiths on horseback or foot.

Ah, it's 510 pts with all of them. That's close enough.

They lack the variety and hitting power that I'm after though

Well, if you want a real Fellowship, you'd need 9 of them, but you won't get nine uber heros in 500 pts.

9 Nazgul on horse back isn't a very useful in most situations and could be brought down with enough bow shots quite quickly, maybe in themed scenarios they'd be somewhat fun but the current list seems quite good. May I suggest you remove Khamul and replace him with Suldan? Khamul while nice for an Easterling army is possibly the worst Ringwraith of the Nine.

I didn't realise Suladan was any good. Surely his increased stand fast becomes a little pointless...

Yes, but his 3 attacks makes up for it. And I wasn't serious about my list.

He's a better fighter and is cheaper than Khamul.

Would shagrat work well?

Post subject:  Re: Constructing a 500pts 'evil fellowship' for SBG

Shagrat War Leader of Cirith Ungol is very good.

Post subject:  Re: Constructing a 500pts 'evil fellowship' for SBG

So, if we completely scrap my first idea, has anyone got any suggestions for the list? Characters that work well together etc

Post subject:  Re: Constructing a 500pts 'evil fellowship' for SBG

Dark Marshal
Castllen of Dol Guldor
Black Nunemorean Marshal
Amdur
Suldan
Harad Taskmaster
Kurdush
Shagrat War Leader

It's quite expensive though, but offers a hard hitting force.

The Castellans aren't really worth taking. 65 pts for no might isn't really that good.

Post subject:  Re: Constructing a 500pts 'evil fellowship' for SBG

^ how many points was the above list?

I'm not sure if I will follow through with this idea- my friends are telling me it will be boring to play, boring to play against and will get demolished so they said they will refuse to play it :p
