looks pretty good 8) But are the morgul stalkers indomitable( dont have the rulebook with me at the moment)? Because if not then one company would'nt be very good. And you could also look at some battlehosts. Mordor have some very good ones. My personal favourite would be the Gorgorath Horde, one massive formation that always has a captain :twisted:

Morgul stalkers are not indomitable but they are ambushers and I'll just use them as a kind of kamikaze trooper to charge a big formation one turn in the flank or rear to reduce the enemy formation's attacks whilst one of my big formations charges them head on. I'm not expecting them to last long.

Perhaps, but even so I'd boost them to at least two companies. If I remember correctly they've got very low defence.

I would give the formation of Orcs with two-handed weapons six companies, and the formation with shields four companies, as the two-handed formation has lower defence.

I love that one too!

I kinda wanted the shields to have a larger formation as I wanted to lob one of the epic heroes in the more-reliable shield formation.

I think D4 will be fine as they're only expected to last one turn. Getting another company would also be very expensive.

Not that many warriors. My Gondor 1000pts army has just as many formations and only three less companies.

You've got 7 Might.

Dark Marshal has only got 1 might, it's the witch-king who has 3. I may have a marginally larger army than yours but I would have more cavalry, and some spirits which could prove very troublesome especially as I have a Nazgul as well.

Gothmog has 4 Might, the Dark Marshal has 1 Might, and the Warg Rider Captain has 2 Might.

By the way, you don't have more cavalry: both our armies have four companies of cavalry.

The captain does have 2 might but that's very "restricted" might so I didn't think that should have been included (but I probably should have just added it in bracets.) Oh yes, you took 4 companies, didn't you. Anyway, the sceptres aren't expensive for nothing.
