Good Evening/Morning all.

For those of you who play Battle Companies I would appreciate your feedback on my proposal for a Minus Morgul BC. If you have the opportunity could you also play test it and provide feedback. If successful I'd like to include it as a BC for a tournament I'm hoping to organise later in the year.

Thank you all in advance.

Paul

Special Rule
The Path of the Knight

Terror
Touched by a portion of Sauron’s malice Morgul Knights and Black Númenórean Warriors invoke terror in their enemies and only the noblest of beings can summon the courage to stand against them in battle.

Minus Morgul Promotion Table
Troop Type Promotion Option
Black Númenórean Warrior
Morgul Knight – Alter the Warrior’s statistics appropriately. All weapons and equipment are exchanged for the equipment of a Morgul Knight, including a Dark Steed (Armoured Horse).

Shadow-bound Souls
In the shadows of Minus Morgul the souls of slain men, elves and even orcs sometimes find themselves ensnared by the will of the Witch King becoming Spectres. To reflect this in Battle Companies there is a chance that a Minus Morgul Orc Warrior or Hero who rolls the dead result after becoming a casualty in a scenario can become a Spectre. Immediately after rolling the dead result roll 1D6. On a roll of a 5 or 6 the casualty becomes a Spectre. Spectres do not gain experience so they cannot be promoted or become heroes.

Dead Orc Warrior/Hero
Spectre – Alter the dead Orc’s statistics appropriately. All weapons and equipment are exchanged for the equipment of a Spectre.
