Hi there!
We are preparing a special tournament here, and we are trying new things.
Army list buildings are as follows:
- 350 points
- Warband formations
- Old Legions of Middle earth book guidelines (only 1 alliance allowed)
- Scenarios are a bit different. 3 / 6 are about controlling objectives (Like the current one scenarios Hold Ground, Domination, High Ground but modified) . Heroes and Monsters have a value as 3 miniatures. Cavalry are equal 2 miniatures. You need to have almost 3 more miniatures than the other to control an ojective marker.
- Other scenario is To The Death. And the other one is related to wounds done by Heroes.
- The last one is Recoinntre with the same Heroes, Monsters and Cavalry rules.
This way I've been searching around about great players and old GTs (like BlackMist blog). I realized then, that there are 4/6 scenarios about having numbers, it would be a good idea to stick the army composition to that strategy (And having Shatter with a Gundabad Shield Shaman, and Fury with another one). Something like this:
Warband 1 9/12
Durbûrz, the Goblin King of Moria
3 Moria Goblin Warrior with Shield;
4 Moria Goblin Warrior with Spear;
2 Warg Marauder
----
Warband 2 9/12
Moria Goblin Shaman
5 Moria Goblin Warrior with Shield;
4 Moria Goblin Warrior with Spear;
----
Warband 3 9/12
Gundabad Blackshield Shaman
5 Moria Goblin Warrior with Shield;
4 Moria Goblin Warrior with Spear;
----
However, I'm not sure if it's worth Quality over Quantity at 350 points match battles.
Perhaps an Erebor list with Full Thorin on Pony (Orcrist & Oakshield) and Balin commanding a bunch of Dwarves and some Dale bow support (About 23 miniature army list) is better (or another one with a strong Hero).
Warband 1 12/12
Thorin Oakenshield with Pony; The Oakenshield; Orcrist;
8 Warrior of Erebor with Shield;
4 Warrior of Erebor with Spear; Shield;
----
Warband 2 9/12
Balin
1 Warrior of Erebor with Spear;
4 Warrior of Dale with Bow;
4 Warrior of Dale with Bow;
----
I thought about mixing Mouth of Sauron with a Morannon warband (6 shields/6 spears) with a Gundabad Shaman, 2 Marauders and goblins with shields and spears.
What do you think? Any ideas are really welcome
Thank you in advance!
