I need a good company to hold my centre.
I have a Gondor Army,
I play calvary on one flank and Grey Company Allies on the other.
But my Warriors of Minas Tirith are a bit weak at holding the centre, shall i use Citadel Guards, Fountain Court Knights or Osgilliath Veterans, which heroes shall I use with them?

How come your Warriors of Minas Tirith are not working? I can't see anything else doing a better job. Afterall Minas Tirith Warriors have defense 7.

You could always try Foot Knights of Dol Amroth since these are defense 7 aswell but have some extra stuff to help them out.

Osgiliath Veterans, maybe?

A 6 company strong formation of Warriors of Minas Tirith with Boromir or Aragorn always work well for me.

I use Aragorn with the Grey Company on my flank and Boromir in an advanced attacking company.
Osgiliath Veterans is a fair shout, who would you use them with, someone mentioned Cirion once, does he give them bonuses?
Or perhaps the citadel guard with Beregond, don't think there's a relevant hero for the Fountain Court Guard

I like Osgiliath Verterans.... as a way to 1. Pad out my army while I get things painted and 2. A 'Jack of All Trades' unit.

However, Keithio the Green is right, WOMT as just as tough and much more points efficient. In WOTR, you can't stop a unit getting messed up, but if you have multiple units in the line you can outflank their attacking units by jumping the hero to another formation and doubling it around.

Perhaps a good one to try is Wardens of the Keys, they come with a hero and are a higher defense then even regular warriors of Minas Tirith. I know there are no models for them yet so I proxy them with Guards of the Fountain Court and in the one game I used them in they perform fairly well and are pretty tough.

I was planning on doing exactly this, but everyone said im crazy because they cost too many points.

Osgiliath Veterens automatically come with Cirion.
