Finally, after two years of waiting, begging the few who had models to dust em off and bring them to the store so i could get a game in... and the new source books are here. My phone is ringing non stop for people looking for a game! There's even talk of a campaign! I'm literally giddy with excitement! Haha! So i'm managed to get one game in so far with the new source books and warbands, the last few games i played were all at 750pts so i had to trim down to 500 to play my opponent. This was a 5 minute list thrown together with the few models i keep in my case on the off chance someone wants to play. Monkey Twins -Heavy Armor 8 Rangers of Arnor -Spears 2 Rangers of the North Spears Gimili -Elven Cloak 8 Dwarf Warriors -Shields 4 Khazad Guard And of Course Pippin, cuz he's awesome. So now i'm looking once more into list development, some back story, and overall gameplay results. It faced a Uruk army made up even Pikes, Shields and Orc spears with Saruman and Lurtz. What am i pondering? -Bringing back Halbarad, with a slight chance of using the Banner. -Really want Strider! But he's so freaking expensive!!! -Some Vault Wardens -Dropping characters for regular vanilla captains (this will be highly necessary for a story campaign that's being formulated, vanilla captain who gains attributes for each battle/kills he plays in. Now The latter half of the topic. I need an Evil Army, just so i'm not stuck with the grey company fighting elves/hobbits etc. Any ideas? I haven't been able to pick up any of the evil sourcebooks yet but the Easterlings with their new models are looking tasty... Uruks are OUT. 4 out of our 6 players are all playing Uruk-hai, makes me want to start a massive rohirrim army... Thanks for taking a look! Cal |

1) Welcome back in action... 2) Halbarad is a very cheap but useful character... 3) After you got experience with your army you can modify it right to get him... 4)Vault wardens are good for scenarios with a lot of terrain or objectives, I think Iron guards would be more useful... 5) Don't know about that... Easterlings is a very easy army to play with while Rohan is too hard to be used... Choise is yours

Easterlings finally seem like a complete option: solid base troops, upgrades to elites, kataphract drummers, and decent heroes. It doesn't seem like you'd have to ally with anybody to make them work. |

Easterlings look great, they last awhile because of their armor and the fact that they can be upgraded makes them even better. |
