Hi, so i'm writing my first ever list as im going to play my first ever games this weekend.

Im starting with a 500pt game and i have no idea where to start.

In regards to models i have practically everything bar citadel guard, madril and osgiluath veterans.

I want to have a core of gondor with a detachment of mounted knights of Dol amroth.

If anyone can give me a hand then i would greatly appreciate it!

Feel free to ask any questions for more information, thanks.

Do you need to ally Fiefdoms? Because tbh Knights of Dol Amroth work best with Imrahil because he gives a 12" banner, so then there is no point in bringing Minas Tirith.

I would suggest Imrahil, the miniature Aragorn. I would also fully upgrade him to lead some knights, but I would also throw in rangers led by cheaper heroes. Any remaining forces should be WOMT to create a shieldwall with bowfire from behind(with spears if you want) and send your cavalry to flank.

I find it difficult to write army lists for Fiefdoms... the mounted Knights of Dol Amroth are very expensive, and if you take them then you really ought to take Imrahil too (in order to benefit from their excellent Special Rule), who is also expensive. You therefore inevitably have a rather small army.

All that said, here's a basic list to start with:

Warband #1 (6/18) - Fiefdoms
Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth with armoured horse and lance [Leader]
6 Knights of Dol Amroth with armoured horse and lance

Warband #2 (12/12) - Minas Tirith
Captain of Minas Tirith with shield
6 Warriors of Minas Tirith with shield
6 Warriors of Minas Tirith with spear and shield

That comes to 437pts. With the 63pts you have left, you have a few options. You could take three more mounted Knights in Imrahil's warband, or seven Men-at-Arms / Axemen of Lossarnach / Clansmen of Lamedon / Blackroot Vale Archers (or any combination). Alternatively, you could perhaps take a third warband with Damrod and four Rangers of Gondor, or exchange the Captain of Minas Tirith for Faramir (with some equipment) and take three more warriors in his warband.

Let us know how your game goes. :)
