Beregond
11 warriors of arnor

Damrod
12 rangers

Forlong
12 warrior of the dead

500 points

Firstly is this army legal? , I've played it a couple of times now and had good results, the special rule of the dead is very effective especially when supported with the fight 4 spears. So what do you think is it any good?.

Gondor heroes can't lead Arnor troops (Beregond wouldn't be born for another 1600 years), and Fiefdoms are a different list so not all your rangers can shoot.

Looks very effective, but is just as illegal as it is effective

Your list is effetive but illlegal.
I would personally just use the king of the dead instead of forlorn and then use the rangers (8),after take out the warrors of arnor and get minas tirith cavalry with a captain or beregond on horse.

king of death
10warriors with shield

beregond
12 warriors of MT all shields 12 spears

damrod
8rangers of gondor 4 spears
2 warriors of gondor with shields 1 with spear

use the warriors with spear to support the death and make a strong wall (you also can take forlong, less themetic but more powerfull (becouse you can take 2 death warriors and a normal warrior more)

Wow think I've been working my bow limit wrong , counted 38 men in total divided by 3 equals 12 , so 12 rangers can have bows , is this not right?.
Hi Gothmog, yes shields are a good addition.
Hi azog I looked at the king of the dead but I didn't think he was very good plus is your list 500 points ( sorry I don't have my book at the minute)?.
Forlong is better strength and also has might.

No, it's not right, because bow limit is by allied contingent, not over the whole army. You really have three allies, each warband being a separate ally. Your first warband isn't legal by any stretch, but I guess you can pretend its Arnor. Your third warband is fiefdoms. Your second is Minas Tirith, but since it's all rangers only four can shoot.

that list is over bow limit by 2 models as you have to have 2/3 warriors without bows. Heroes dont count towards the total number of models when working this out.

So:

beregond
12 warriors of MT all shields 12 spears

damrod
8rangers of gondor 4 spears
2 warriors of gondor with shields 1 with spear

You have 22 warriors in total and 8 bows. 22/3 = 7 (ish) You would need 24 warriors to get 8 bows.

You're allowed to round up when calculating the bow limit.

I take it you guys are friends and are joking around? For those who don't know, without some smileys or something it looks kind of hostile.
