Will's Isengard!

Ok, so for my attempt this is what I had in mind, quite experimental.

4 Companies of Uruk-Hai Pikemen
4 Companies of Uruk-Hai Warriors
4 Companies of Uruk-Hai Warriors
6 Companies of Uruk-Hai Warriors
3 Comapnies of Uruk-Hai Crossbowmen
4 Companies of Feral Uruk-Hai Warriors
1 Company of Sappers
1 Assualt Balista
1 Troll
Lurtz
Gothmog
Durhzag the Beastcaller

Comments and Critisism welcom as always,
Will.

That is a very strong list, I'd start with a 1k list first (as that what most armies are at the moment). I know I am a purist but do you have to have the mordor and Moria allies in the army ? Could they have a formation from there lists as well?

Gothmog with some Orcs
Durzag with Goblins.

It just feels better than picking good bit from other list to make a hard list harder.

[William Benson]

Taking that on board then here is a 1000 point list, and abit more fluffy

4 Companies of Uruk-Hai Warriors
4 Companies of Uruk-Hai Warriors
*Generally good in combat, there to hit hard.*

2 Companies of Uruk-Hai Crossbowmen (Drummer.)
*Drummer is there as I had points left over and it gives them more movement to get into posistion in the first turn.*

4 Companies of Feral Uruk-Hai Warriors
*With Ambush and Beserk, these hit real, real hard.*

9 Formations of Mordor Orcs (Double Handed Weapons.)
*With Gothmog, these hit incredibly hard for only 20 points a company, highly underated by alot of opponents means they are generally left alone for alot of the game.*

Gothmog
*Brilliant ability to use oppenents heroic or epic actions against them for free, and a good amount of might makes him an excellent support character.*

Lurtz
*High fight value and good amount of might, all a good character needs.*

Feedback really would be helpfull

Cheers,
Will

Mordor orcs and isenguard Urak-hai were know to have fought together so why not. I like it.
Very strong combat wise, zero magic. You have squeezed a lot of hard hitting troops in there with the added bonus of hard ambushers.
Q. can ambusher hide in defensible terrain that they coudn't occupy due to formation size?

[William Benson]

Not sure about that one, I know that I had this conversation with Pete T a while back, and i'm pretty sure that they can because what we founf out I think was that when the formation enters the terrain the companys arrange themselves however they like to fit, even if that meant they wouldhave to arrange themselves in a way they normally cant. I will have to double check it but I am off to school now, Yipee!
