Radagast the Brown w/horse
Gandalf the Grey w/horse
Celeborn with heavy armour + elven blade + shield
Cirdan

Erestor with elven cloak
Elrond
Thranduil, King of Mirkwood

One day I want to make an army consisting of treebeard and 12 ents... No idea how many points that is or how much it would cost in cash though.

I promise. I'll come back to your thread Sid,a s there are quite a few 'dream armies' that are just for fun, and I wouldn't actually use, but it's be rather time-consuming.

Hmmm, 3000 Iron Guards, that'd be my dream. All of them commanded by King's Champion

hobbitlord · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:03 pm

the last alliance as it should be...

Elendil
Isildur
500 Arnorean Númenóreans

Anarion
250 Gondorian Númenoreans

Gil-galad
Cirdan
200 Elves of Lindon

Elrond
200 Elves of Rivendell

Oropher
Amdír
100 Wood Elves

Durin IV
250 Dwarves of Durins Folk

this force is 1500 strong and will crush any who stand before them.

All mounted Rohan, or Dwarves I think for me, something like this for Rohan, not sure what Evil would be, probably lots of Goblins or Orcs with Monsters

Eorl the Young (represents Theoden)
Eomer with Throwing Spears, Shield and Horse
Eowyn with Throwing Spears, Armour, Shield and Horse
Merry with Shield and Elven Cloak
Gamling with Royal Banner and Horse
Erkenbrand with Horse
2 Captains of Rohan with Throwing Spears, Heavy Armour, Shield and Horse
3 Captains of Rohan with Bows, Heavy Armour, Shield and Horse

72 Rohan Royal Guard with Throwing Spears and Horses
36 Westfold Riders with Bows and Throwing Spears
5 Westfold Riders with Banners
3 Westfold Riders with Bows and War Horns

127 Models, 2980 points

Err, my dream is more along the lines of getting the armies I have painted. Bit of a nightmare really. :roll:

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:29 pm

Before I do, can I ask if I can put a WotR army, or is it only for SBG armies?

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:27 am

do either

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:03 pm

Okay, the reason I ask is because 3,000pts of SBG isn't a 'dream army' for me, i could go over 10,000 if I combined all my evil models. Even 3,000pts WotR isn't too far either, though I still have less than half as much as Dorthonion, and approx half of Leonardis. So here is my dream list. A WotR Pellenor Fields Evil Army.

Battlehosts;
Gorgoroth Orc Horde (18 companies) Captain, Taskmaster
The Black Legion:
1 Mordor Troll Chieftain
6 Mordor Trolls
6 x Morannon Orc Warband (4 coys each) shields

6 War Mumakil of Harad

Epic Heroes;
Gothmog
Kardush
The Mouth of Sauron (what if)
Suladan
Amdur
Dalamyr (what if)
Queen Beruthiel (ditto)

Legendary Formations;
9 Winged Nazgul (yes all of them)
Abrakhan Guard (4 coys)

Common Formations;
2 x Mordor Orc Warband (9 coys each) 2-handers
4 x Mordor Orc Warband (3 coys each) bows
Morannon Orc Warbnad (6 coys) w/ shields, Cptn, Bnnr
4 x Mordor Uruk-hai Warband (5 coys each) 2-handers
4 x Warg Rider Warband (3 coys each) shields
2 x Orc Tracker Warband (3 coys each)
Easterling Cohort (6 coys) pikes, Dragon Knight
4 x Easterling Cohort (4 coys each) pikes, DK
2 x Easterling Kataphrakt Cohort (6 coys each) DK
2 x Khandish Mercenary Warband (6 coy each) 2-handers
3 x Khandish Merc Raiders (3 coys each)
Haradrim Warband (9 coys), Hasharin
3 x Haradrim Warband (3 coys each) bows
3 x Haradrim Raider Warband (3 coys each)
Haradrim Raider Warband (6 coys)
Serpent Riders (6 coys) Banner, Hornblower

Rare Formations;
3 Mordor Troll Chieftains
9 Mordor Trolls
War Catapult Battery (3 coys)
2 x Seige Bow Battery (3 coys each)
2 x Black Numenorean Regiment (4 coys each)
4 x Morgul Knight Regiment (3 coys each)
Khandish King in Chariot
4 Khandish Charioteers
Mahud Warband (6 coys) blowpipes
2 x Mahud Raider Warband (3 coys each)
3 x Half Troll Warband (3 coys each) 2-handers
2 x Corsair Arbalesters (4 coys each) Captain
Watcher Warband (3 coys) bows

This come to 17,300pts

Consisting of 104 formations,
317 companies (inc. Monsters)
and 1,892 models excluding Epic Heroes.

I think my dream army would be 300 foot soldiers and 300 Galadhrim elves to have an army equal to what was at helm's deep. Heroes would Be: Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Theoden, Gamling with Banner, Eowyn and Haldir ~ Brian

Shhhhttttttt.

To be movie accurate, that would be epic!
I can just picture my whole living room floor covered in endless waves of minis doing battle

Technically Eowyn wasn't there either by that logic.

Aye, but I didn't notice she was on the list as she didn't partake in that battle in the film either.

Lots of Galahdrim Swordsmen (metal ones)
Lots of Galahdrim bow dudes (metal ones)
Unarmoured Haldir
Wood Elf sentenials
RotK Legolas :legolas:

Legolas on horse :legolas:

Breaking of the Fellowship Aragorn :aragorn:

Aragorn on horse :aragorn:

Escape from Orthanc Gandalf :gandalf:

Gandalf the grey on horse :gandalf:

Lots of Rangers of the North and Dunadan (they need to make mounted ones :-X

)
Elladan and Elhrohir (armoured)
Elladan and Elhrohir on horses

And for Evil...

Escape from Orthanc Saruman :saruman

lots of Uruk Hai scouts (metal)
Lurtz :lurtz:

Lots of berserkers
Ugluk
Isengaurd trolls (metal)
Lots of Warg riders (metal)

aannnddd I think that's about it :mrgreen:

I have a 6000-points per side game coming up and am supplying half of the evil force. One of my Warbands comprises Burduhr and twelve Cave Trolls. It will probably fail in an epic manner but that's how legends are made!

Telchar · **Posted:** Thu Sep 13, 2012 6:10 pm

OK, my dream Isengard army for WOTR:

Saruman 240 points
Ugluk (Lurtz) 175 points
Mauhur (Thrydan) 50 points

3 formations of 6x Uruk-Hai with swords 3x 210 = 630 points
3 formations of 6x Uruk-Hai Phalanx 3x 210 = 630 points
2 formations of 3x Uruk-Hai Crossbows 3x105 = 210 points
1 formations of 3x Uruk-Hai scouts with bows = 105 points
2 formations of 8x Orcs with 2HW 2x160= 320 points

3 formations of Uruk-Hai Berserkers 3x110 = 330 points
1 formation of 4x Uruk-Hai Reavers (Ferals) = 160 points
2 formations of Uruk-Hai Sappers 2x 30 = 60 points
4 formations of 3x Warg Riders with Shields 4x75 = 300 points
1 formation of 6 coys of Dunlending Warriors with 2HW 150 points
2 formations of 3 coys of Dunlending Horsemen 2x60 = 120 points

4 coys of Isengard Assault Legion (see my WOTR extra units thread) 75+4x40 = 235 points

All in all 3715 points and a bloody fortune...

Balrog88 · **Posted:** Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:37 pm

I would go with a Moria army led by the balrog and using like 10 dwellers in the dark as captains with 300 gobs and allied forces with spiders and bats and tons of trolls :-D
