So I have been colelcting my army but I for the first time will write a list for how my army would be...
Suggestions and help is acceptable :-D

The tower of Eclethion
Faramir with heavy armour and horse 85p.
8 Warriors of Minas tirith with shield 64p.
8 Warriors of Minas tirith with spear and shield 72p.
8 Warriors of Minas tirith with bow 64p.
6 Knights of Minas tirith with shield 84p.

Grey company
4 Ranger of the north 100p.
2 Ranger of the north with spear 52p.
2 Dunedain with spear 50p.
20 rangers of arnor 160p.

731 p. 59 models

These guys are only 50 points for the pair. In any case I'd consider dropping one of them for more rangers. The required ratio is 4:1, so with 6 RoTN + 1 Dun. you can take 28 rangers. I'd also give as many rangers spears as you can. Their D is low, so support is always helpful.

In the end it's a lot of bow fire. Just for personal flavour I like to drop the bows from the Gondor contingent, it feels more fair. Take more shields and shields + spears.

Maybe try and Squeeze arathorn or another cheap "brawler" in. I would never go into a 750pt game without a 3 attack model just incase contest of champions comes up, but then yet again i don't know how effective you are with mounted faramir so you could well be fine.

Consider dropping the 2 dunedain for faramir the super amazing WD version
Also drop the bows from the Tower half and take more shields n spears.

Then you have a good start point

Whafrog@ Rangers are out of stock in my country for some months so I will have to wait
SuicidalMarsbar@ I don't have his profile...Maybe Aragorn would be a better option
cereal_theif@ I don't have this WD issue
fritskuhntm@ This army list don't follow the rules because for one ranger of the north or dunedain you can have up to four rangers of arnor(Dol amroth is my favourite but I will begin with something more classic.)

Arathorns profile: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod1070007

He has no special rules so everything you need to know about him is on the GGW site. He is a pretty good horde killer considering he is the only 3 attack model in the good army that doesn't cost over 100pts. However it's a shame he can't outfight any of the evil models which cost the same points value (spider queen, castellans)

Excuse me but how can I take him to a tournament...
I will print the profile? That's illegal and also I need point cost which I know 75p. from lome but anyway I can't
May I don't enter a tournament but I don't want to be: A guy who take the profiles from GW website and the point cost from Lome...

I need to have the sourcebook for his profile...

whafrog · **Posted:** Fri Aug 05, 2011 6:10 pm

Does every player need to have his own sourcebooks? Why wouldn't the tournament organizers have this, or be able to verify it?

Em they have them but they need to see we have them and we are not pdf downlaoders or something like that :-D

Your not a pdf downloader if you printed it off the official GW site. If you really want to use him then don't be conscious of people judging you based on whether or not you have a sourcebook

Sorry...But his profil is on Games workshop site...Then why to take the sourcebooks...
Let's stop this argue... Let's just say if you don't have the book it's not official... The only allowed printable files are the ones on articles of Games workshop for exapmle in sauron sinister service...

cereal_theif · **Posted:** Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:47 pm

In the GW army lists rules thing for tournies it DOES NOT say you need the sourcebooks.
Only the rules and the points as official with the ability for checking... LOME is pts correct. Rules website ... just take a smart phone.
