Me and a friend organized a small battle. He gets 250pts of Rohan and a palisade fortress. I get a battering ram, 300pts and one ladder every six warriors.
His list is pure Royal Guard. Led by a Captain with Heavy Armour and Shield. The rest of the points are throwing weapon-less RRG.
Anyway, I wrote up this list to fight it.
The Black Gate The Mouth of Sauron
20 Morannon Orcs 8 with shield. 12 with spear and shield.
10 Orc Trackers
2 Mordor Uruk-hai 2 with two-handed weapon.
Total: 300 points Models: 33 Might: 1
Now, I have one less might than him, but I've got magic. My might point will likely be used for a heroic action after he's spent his two might points. I've got 22 Str 4 Fighters, 20 of which have def 6. He has no ranged whatsoever. So I did consider just staying back and targerting him with range and magic. But I'll let the game be fun. I'm gonna march, with no fear of bows or anything, and just push it all against the gate. I'll break in and start by transfixing the captain so he can't deal any damage.
I have considered dropping a lot of my men in favour of a troll.
Watcha think?

Pretty good army. You should outnumber them by 12 or so, seeing as they dont have bows you can probably kill 1-2 before combat, widening the gap. I think this is quite a good army. Good Luck!

Nice Army! LoME illegal, but well thought out. Trolls won't do much, they can't get up...

It is nice in terms of numbers - especially so many Morannons Fist would drop the 2h from the Uruks and make fewer of the Morannons have spears to free up some more points. And second drop the trackers for normal orcs with bows - able to use them in combat then and much better poised to make use of your numbers in terms of outnumbering and trapping

How about a Mordor Catapult with Troll? As they have no ranged weapons, you can sit back and massacre them from range, till they're broken, then send in Orcs with ladders at the walls.

Oh yeah, and target the Captain to negate the Bodyguard rule

Mmm. I did consider a siege bow. I have found out he's got throwing spears but only like four, and they're so short range. I might just sit back. Anyway. He's got an ally of Gondor now, but again, the stupidity of no bows has come. This is an all Fountain Guard force I have an ally too. Isengard. And this guy is new, and loves the the crossbow models. He's maxing on crossbows, taking Uruks with shield and a load of bombs. I think we're gonna win. It will be an easy game.

Wow, thats a lot of models for a 300 point army, But only the mouth of Sauron for a hero, he is not really a great in battle leader if I can remember using him. I would suggest drop some warriors for a captain but its up to you, if outnumbering is your tactic then by all means stick with your large amount of guys
