Grey Company Bow Limit

Can you guys help me see if I understand the Grey Company bow limit rule properly? If I have 23 Warriors and 2 Ranger of the North, can 16 (23/3=8+4+4) have bows?

For example, is this list legal?

Aragorn, Isildur's Heir
7 Warriors of Arnor
5 Rangers of Arnor, 1 spear

Halbarad Dunadan
11 Rangers of Arnor

Ranger of the North

Ranger of the North

500 points

Hi,

You don't mix the two bow limits. You either have 33% in which 2/3 of you warriors are Warriors of Arnor - you can still include some Dunedain/Rangers of the North but you needn't follow the 4 for 1 in this case.

Or you can go with the 4 Rangers per Dunedain/Ranger of the north - you can still include Warriors of Arnor here, but you needn't have 2/3 of your army of them.

So you pick which bow limit you want, but after that you can include the other type, so if you want more than 33% of your army with bows, you must include 1 RotN/Dunedain per Ranger of Arnor, regardless of whether there are Warrior of Arnors in your force.

Does this make sense?

That doesn't make sense to me at all.

Is my army legal?

Yes as far as I can tell it's legal

Do I have the most rangers of Arnor possible given Aragorn and Halbarad? (And not skimping on warriors)

No, it's illegal because you have 16 Rangers of Arnor, and only 2 Rangers of the North. You need to take 4 Rangers of the North (i.e. an extra 2), (or if you don't have any more, you could take 32 Arnor Warriors)

EDIT: To clarify, if you do not want to follow the 33% bow limit, you must take a RotN for every 4 RoA, even if you have some Warriors.

If your reading is the correct one, then why does it mention the normal bow limit?

Because if you're running an Arnor list rather than Grey Company it follows the normal bow limit rules.

it does anoye me that the moment I take a warrior of arnor my grey company army becomes 33% bows.... where as mirkwood can just shove all the bows in 1 warband

No. You could still have 99% bows because you always have to have 1 rotn for every 4 roa. Doesn't mean you can't add some woa in there as well.
