Okay, I would love some help here. Troops and/or strategy.
I am mentally prepared to get killed, but any support is welcome.
My opponent is a skilled player, and I don't pretend to be so.
I would say 90% of this is painted, and I may try to finish by Saturday.
That is our Day of Glory, it will be public, and when I loose, I will look good doing so!!!

your 30 points under m8 :) you should add a banner and also if you are able swop the dwarf hero for foli stonehand hes funny to play and can make your opponet think on what he should be doing with his own troops. i wouldn't upgrade the gondor rangers to move though forests (never have helped me once) and use the points to something that is more helpful. thats all i would change on this list.

reason why for the dwarf hero being changed: you have 3 heros all ready for melee combat and a load of troops to help in those fights. u should have enough might points to help you in heroic movements. if possible i would change damrod to baragond if you can.

reason for the banner: a reroll in a fight will always help you change one of the khazad guards to a normal dwarf warrior with a shield and banner and keep him in the back of the lines but with the hand to hand combat force and keep him safe. this will force your opponent to choose whats the bigger threat the banner foli or your rangers. having the army of the dead surround your dwarf will help protect him from arrow fire and charging and split them off from him when u can use them for somthing more (eg killing a cave troll if your opponent has one)

tips on fights: try and pair up your axemen with warriors on gondor (no supporting) and using the chop spec rule two handing. this can help secure killing blows more often but the risk is lowering your defense on your axe men. don't use that rule on your dwarfs often unless you are sure they can win a fight because defense is their strongest area.

don't split your force to far (rangers in the back though with your archer hero though shooting the most threatening models).

unnnngh...., things were going okay until his Troll Chieftain Hurled one of my guy's into my support line, Axemen of Lossarnach, behind the Army of the Dead. There was some discussion of whether Floi could negate the Fell Beasts Special Rule: Fly. I just let it happen, and later on this forum, it was validated that he could. Clearly I need more experience and familiarity with the rules. It's just that there is not a lot of time for me to gain experience. I always have fun, and value my time on the field of battle.

This time, the new list here above, I am taking the side of Evil v. his Good. I do not know what he's taking. I imagine some Elves. And I anticipate him using Natures Wrath or something like that. He's a skilled tactician, and knows what his troops can do.

I am going to try to use the combination of Betrayer's magic (sap will and black dart) and Master of Poisons. The Golden King to influence his heroes. Couple cavalry units and the Mahud King to get heroic charges going as well. I have spear support all over the place backing up either high defense, multiple attack, or heavy hitting troops. Minimal shooters as they never seem to help much.


I think, for me, the main challenge is to get my deployment right. Running away is not in my blood, so I always charge in. It's a battle after all. I did use several of your pointers in the match. Osigiliath Vets, Floi, Cirion (I opened my blister to field him), and Guards of the Fountain Court. They all helped.

about floi I can answer you that pretty easily...

you can spend a point of will to denie 1 enemy special rule for the rest of the turn, can prevent terror rule, or gothmog´s master of battle so on...
question, does fly are inscribed as part of special rules? if it does you can deny it...


in this case fellbeasts rule are: Fly and Feral, so yes you could denie either one of those :P
