Hey guys

I'm struggleing with how the game works these days to come up with a list for my Isenguard army. I was looking at (haven't sorted warbands yet)
2 60 point captains (to allow either normal or named captains)
2 shamans
12 fighting Uruk hai
20 pike men
12 crossbows
8 berserkers
1 troll
2 banners going somewhere one any of the normal uruks
Any help? I'm looking at going to throne of skulls next year

How about this:
Warband 1 12/12
Uruk-hai Captain with Shield; Heavy armour;
3 Uruk-hai Warrior with Shield;
4 Uruk-hai Warrior with Pike;
4 Uruk-hai Berserker
1 Isengard Troll
----
Warband 2 12/12
Uruk-hai Shaman
3 Uruk-hai Warrior with Shield;
4 Uruk-hai Warrior with Pike;
1 Uruk-hai Warrior with Banner;
4 Uruk-hai Berserker
----
Warband 3 12/12
Vraskû
10 Uruk-hai Warrior with crossbow
----
Warband 4 12/12
Uruk-hai Shaman
4 Uruk-hai Warrior with Shield;
8 Uruk-hai Warrior with Pike;
----
Warband 5 9/12
Uruk-hai Captain with Shield; Heavy armour;
4 Uruk-hai Warrior with Shield;
5 Uruk-hai Warrior with Pike;
----

Not the most effective but all you would have to buy is vrasku and a box of Uruks.

Something like:

WB 1
Uruk Captain
3 U-H shields
8 U-H pikes
1 U-H banner

WB 2
Uruk Captain
3 U-H Shields
8 U-H Pikes

WB 3
U-H captain with 2HW and Armour (convert/paint differently from a berserker)
6 U-H Berserkers
6 U-H Crossbowmen

No idea about the points, but it should be somewhere near 500 like this. Add in a troll, cavalry, and what have you to taste. It's allways worked fine for me, but I'm no tourney player, so I don't know wether a Throne of Skulls-worthy army will tear it apart or no.

PS: the high number of Berserkers is because I find they work a lot better like this, no way they can get all shot down if there's so many of 'em, and they provide a major scare factor.

Depends on the player tbh, ToS players tend to vary from the big tournie players to the people who take a completely random list and go for a laugh. They arnt nearly as competitive as the old GT's because the match ups are random.

Most big tournie players don't do TOS anymore due to the scoring system
