See White Dwarf 365 for the new rules on the Black Numenoreans and Morgul Knights. They can now be taken in a Mordor List. (Same rules as the Fallen Realms, and they can have a hornblower), and are common if The Dark Marshal is chosen as your leader, as he is in this list. 2000 point Mordor (1990 Points) War of the Ring Epic Heroes: 360 Leader: 1 The Dark Marshal 125 1 Gothmog 110 1 The Betrayer 125 Legendary Formations: 325 1 Witch King on Fell Beast 325 Rare Formations: 200 1 Mordor Troll 100 1 Mordor Troll 100 Common Formations: 1105 Mordor Orc Warband 265 9 Companies, Captain, Banner, Shields Morgul Knights 225 4 Companies, Commander, Banner Bearer Morgul Knights 225 4 Companies, Commander, Banner Bearer Black Numenorians 225 4 Companies, Marshall, Banner Mordor Orc Warband 165 4 Companies, Bows, Captain, Banner |

Per my unfinished battle report "Corn for the White City", I played 2400 pts this last weekend and I can say, the Witch King on Fellbeast is a points sink. I would rather - have him on foot in a big block of something or - another 9 company formation of orcs with shields, capt, banner, taskmaster -or a 6 company formation of Morannon orcs with shields But maybe you don't have those models or maybe you have the Witch King and want to use him. I get that. A 4 company formation of orcs with bows and banner is not worth it. Maybe a captain when you need a point of might to move and shoot. Their shooting is Devlan Mud (5+) and without shields incoming shooting will tear them apart. D3 Better to take Grishnakh's Trackers ambushing in a piece of defensible terrain (preferably +2 or better Defense) and use the Take Aim for 3 turns to whittle down the heavy cav, take out bolt throwers etc I would rather have them and regular Trackers - almost always in ambush - to get the better defense. Sure, you don't get as many shots, but they'll last longer. Besides, out in the open, you'll get a company taken off them pretty quick. Hope this helps! |

I'd be included to ditch the Witch King and put the Dark Marshall up on the FB. Also, if you take 3 more companies on the big Orc block, they count as the Gorgoroth Horde and gain special rules. |
