Here are my latest attempts at an Isengard force after having my question about heroes answered by the GBHL guys in the last Q&A. List 1: 350 Points Waband 1 Capain w/ Heavy Armour and Shield 6x Uruks w/ Pike 6x Uruks w/ Shield Warband 2 Shaman w/ armour 4x Berserkers 5x Uruk w/ Crossbow ----- List 2: 500 points Waband 1 Capain w/ Heavy Armour and Shield 6x Uruks w/ Pike 6x Uruks w/ Shield Warband 2 Shaman w/ Armour 6 Bersekers 3 Scouts w/ Shield Warband 3 Vrasku 8x Uruks w/ Crossbow The scouts are only in place becuase they perfectly fill the points in list 2 and will provide extra support for the Berserkers, allowing them to use 2 handed attacks. I prefer Berserkers to Ferals becuase i have the miniatures and don't fancy dropping £30 for 3 of them. Any advice is handy, plus any hints on how/ when Saruman can become useful? |

Solid list. Will hurt for sure. Try Saruman only in bigger armies he costs but he is a beast. Also consider Sharky as a very good one for this work. He is way cheaper and he can be a pain for enemy heroes! |

Hey! I've been building up a little isengard army too. For 350 I would suggest going ferals and crossbows? Maybe even feral front line with pike support? that would be nasty but I feel like at 350 taking a super elite list like that would be hard to deal with. I always have a hard time deciding on heros for isengard, especially at lower points because they have so many good ones. Sharkey and worm, captain with shield, shaman and vrasku are all awesome. |

I'm going to have to hunt down Sharkey and Worm because they look pretty damn good for the points, and i could always have worm get himslef killed so he isnt a threat to Sharkey. I will try the list with Ferals at some point, but for now i lack ferals and will need to convert some. Thanks! |

Yeah they're really good. You can probably just use the berserkers as proxies. I've painted my ferals with white hand tattoos 'n' all that jazz so they look pretty similar. |

That's no longer true. 2 handers can be supported and all models also have hand weapons unless specifically stated. So Berserkers have hand weapons |

Yeah what james said. Berserkers have hand weapons and even if they use their 2-handers they can still be backed up. |
