Appreciate the commentary, gentlemen! Mauhur and the boys will go back on the bench. Will have to look into picking up some Crebain and playing around with Grima/zerker swap. Cheers!

I ran a list similar to Ian's list at 700pts - the biggest benefit to taking Berserkers is to engage Terror. I ran Mauhur with 6 Marauders as my fast troops (no Warg Riders) because they're fast and don't test for breaking as soon, travel through woods better, and wrap flanks quickly. I made the points for Grima by not taking Warg Riders and relying on Uruk-Hai bows instead of crossbows . . .

Great podcast again guys, I’m really enjoying the series especially for armies I don’t usually play with or against. Following the recent preorders and upcoming MTO I’m considering starting an angmar army. No particular lore theme but I want it to play differently to a typical army and focus on the varying debuffs available. Also no Gulavhar as he’s not available but happy to consider a shade as it should be easy to convert. Here’s the 650 list I’ve made up: Witch King (leader) 3/15/3 crown + horse 2 orcs w/ shield 2 orcs w/ spear 1 orc 2handed 1 orc w/ bow 1 warg rider shield + throwing spear 1 cave troll, troll chain + hammer 2 wild wargs 1 orc captain w/ shield + warg 2 orcs w/ shield 2 orcs w/ spear 1 orc 2 handed 1 orc w/ bow 1 warg rider throwing spear + shield 1 wild warg 1 spectre Then 2 of the following identical warbands: Barrow-wight 2 orcs w/ shield 2 orcs w/ spear 1 orc 2 handed 1 orc w/ bow 1 wild warg 1 spectre 39 models. 4 bows 5 might My initial thoughts are to find a few more points to replace the cave troll with either a shade or burhdur. Warg riders and wild wargs are there for mobility in addition to the captains march. Then with plenty of spirit heroes to take advantage of the army bonus. Then relying on the spectres and magic from the WK and wights to neutralise enemy heavy hitters and the captain on warg can take out troops and the cave troll some average lvl heroes and tougher ones when transfixed/paralysed. Thanks

Minor note: Thorin, KUTM can't shield if he loses his goat and is surrounded - of course, he's still D8, so maybe it doesn't matter?

Hey, guys. Love the videos. Been watching for a while and have enjoyed all the content. Just started a Moria army and was wondering what you guys thought of the 750pt list below. I wanted to avoid using the Balrog and explore the other monster options as well as the goblin synergy with Durburz, Groblog and the Shaman. Moria [50 Warriors, 750 Points, 16 Bow] Warband 1: [15 Warriors, 215 Points, 11 Bow]  Durbûrz, The Goblin King of Moria [70 Points, Leader of Valour] Wargear: Heavy Armour, Sword  Dweller in the Dark [1 Warriors, 75 Points] Wargear: Claws and Teeth, Warrior: Dweller in the Dark  Moria Goblin Warrior [11 Warriors, 55 Points, 11 Bow]  Moria Goblin Warrior (Sword and Shield) [3 Warriors, 15 Points] Warband 2: [12 Warriors, 110 Points]  Grôblog [50 Points, Leader of Fortitude] Wargear: Armour, Mithril Crown, Sword  Moria Goblin Warrior {Sword and Shield} [6 Warriors, 30 Points]  Moria Goblin Warrior {Spear} [6 Warriors, 30 Points] Warband 3: [12 Warriors, 100 Points, 5 Bow]  Moria Goblin Captain [40 Points, Leader of Fortitude] Wargear: Armour, Shield, Sword  Moria Goblin Warrior [5 Warriors, 25 Points, 5 Bow]  Moria Goblin Warrior (Sword and Shield) [4 Warriors, 20 Points]  Moria Goblin Warrior (Spear) [3 Warriors, 15 Points] Warband 4: [5 Warriors, 245 Points]  Cave Drake [150 Points, Minor Hero] Wargear: Claws and Teeth  Cave Troll [1 Warriors, 75 Points] Shooting Weapon: Throw Stones, Wargear: Spear, Warrior: Cave Troll  Moria Goblin Warrior (Sword and Shield) [4 Warriors, 20 Points] Warband 5: [6 Warriors, 80 Points]  Moria Blackshield Shaman [50 Points, Minor Hero] Magical Power: Shatter, Tremor, Wargear: Armour, Staff  Moria Goblin Warrior (Sword and Shield) [3 Warriors, 15 Points]  Moria Goblin Warrior (Spear) [3 Warriors, 15 Points]

Thanks for doing these podcasts, I am new to the game and learn so much from listening. I put together an 800 point Mordor list insipired by a list you guys reviewed in a previous episode and wanted to hear your thoughts on it: Warband 1 - 16 Warriors Leader: Witch King - 3M 14W 2F -Crown of Morgul -Armored Fell Beast 8 Mordor Orcs w/Shield 7 Mordor Orcs w/Spear 1 Mordor Orc w/Banner Warband 2 - 12 Warriors Goroth Captain of the Morannon 6 Mordor Orcs w/Shield 5 Mordor Orcs w/Spear Mordor Orc Drummer Warband 3 - 12 Warriors Kardush the Firecaller 4 Orc Trackers 4 Orc Warriors w/Shield 4 Orc Warriors w/Spear Warband 4 - 2 Warriors Mordor Troll Chieftain 2 Warg riders with throwing spears and shield Totals Models: 46 Might: 9 Has Banner and Drum. I wanted the list to be designed around letting my heros do the killing with plenty of orcs around to support them by tying up enemy troops. I also wanted to take advantage of the ability to sacrifice cheap orcs with Kardush and Goroth and use Kardush to supply the WK if I start to run low on will. Witch King needs no explanation, Harbinger of Evil, great caster, 4 attacks with monstrous charge on Fell Beast. Goroth has the drummer and will be used to pile in with his orcs and cut through enemy troops using his S5 with +1 to wound which allows him to take down even D7 enemy troops on a 4+. Another bonus with bringing him is if he is ever the target in one of the assassination scenarios he can sacrifice his orcs to stay alive on a +2 each time. Kardush brings fury to mitigate the orcs courage issues and can cast pretty much at will with his special rule. Troll Chieftain is here to bring some real hero killing power outside of the WK himself. I am concerned about the lack of mobility in this list but I am counting on numbers and the WK on Fell beast to be enough to deal with this. Please let me know what you think and if you would make any changes.

S tier army for sure.

What do you think of this fun army list I made for a 700 points TTS game against my brother? Probably not very competitive, but it will be a fun game. Warband 1 (Leader) Witch King - 3/20/3; Fellbeast, Crown 2 Mordor Orcs - Shield 2 Mordor Orcs - Spear, Shield 3 Mordor Orcs - Spear Warband 2 Kardush 4 Mordor Orcs - Spear, Shield 2 Mordor Orcs - Shield Warband 3 Great Beast of Gorgoroth Warband 4 Great Beast of Gorgoroth

If you're willing to give my list a review I'd appreciate it. The only real requirement is that the list is Umbar/Serpent Horde combined into one list. 800pts, mixed Umbar/Harad green allies Warband 1 253 Suladan+Armoured Horse 115 9 Harad Archers 63 2 Serpent Rider 26 7 Harad Warrior+Spear 49 Warband 2 245 Dalamyr 90 (general) 4 Arbalest 40 11 Corsairs+Shield 88 3 Black Numenoreans 27 Warband 3 159 Corsair Captain+shield 55 4 Arbalest 40 8 Corsairs+shield 64 Warband 4 143 Corsair Bo’sun+Shield 50 3 Arbalest 30 4 Reavers 36 3 Black Numenoreans 27 8 Might, 58 warriors, 4 heroes, 9 poisoned archers (9/18 warriors due to 1/2 allowance), 11 crossbows (11 out of 40 due to 1/3 allowance) 1/2: 32 dead 1/4: 47 dead

Did your website domain expire? I was just trying to get the ‘Gondor Calls for Aid!’ Pdf but the site looks like its down

I guess I’ll try to see if I’ve been really listening to you and learning. I have been collecting and painting since the inception in 2002. First army on the table in 15 years... hope I listened...

hey can you make podcast about corasirs of umbar?

I guess Shelob from the Cirith ungol LL also isn’t interested in eating women 😂

I put my army list in the comment of my last comment.... I’m kind of a big dumb animal...

Usually you give alfrids might to one of the Girls. They have 0 might and alfrid does not "steal" the might- he gets a might even if he rolls a 1 and the Target has no might. Girls call the heroic movement then.... this sucker Alfrid lost me the final of the german championship in 2019, because of getting darted in moonlight.....

On the topic of women: Frida Tallspear feels left out from your list . . .
