Hey gang,
I am taking a 650 Azog's Hunter list to a tournament. The Army list is set in concrete. All hunter orcs except the banner bearer are on foot.

Bolg on fell warg with bow and morgul arrows
11 Hunter orcs 6 with bows, 2 with two handed weapons
1 Hunter orc on fell warg with banner and bow

Fimbul on fell warg
12 Hunter orcs 6 with bows, 2 with two handed weapons

Narzug on fell warg
12 Hunter orcs 6 with bows, 2 with two handed weapons

Anyone got any useful strategies and tactics for this force?
Would love to hear general strategies but I am particularly interested about what I can do about specific armies, for example, an all cavalry Rohan force. They could potentially out shoot me and certainly out manoeuvre me so should I just run at their face and try to kill their smaller numbers or perhaps my 20 bows could outshoot them and force them to engage? Also what about isengard with their superior fight value and crossbows?

All thoughts and advice welcome!

I look forward to your replies.

I have been mulling this over since you posted it and I can still not really come up with a solid strategy for getting around mounted archer armies. Rohan does not have the heroes to march Bolg so he is going to be the keystone of your offensive. But his warg can be shot out from under him at a considerable range making it hard to suggest dividing your army into a infantry and a hero wing. Deploying by warband into thirds of the board and trying to march your way up might work to pen them in but it is really just to risky and obvious of a move to counter. If you could come to grips with them in shooting you'd have a good chance since the mounted models are so much more expensive. In my opinion, you are going to have to play to the terrain and objectives and hope that you can win that way.
