I'm looking for a LOTR army.

What ones are good? I've heard rangers army is good? Recommendations anyone

Depends whether you are looking for GT filth, or some normal army. Most of them are much of a muchness really, with little to distinguish between forces.

If rangers do it for you, then go for it.

I'd also point you to 'the last alliance' not sure of the url, but a quick google search with 'forum' should do the trick. It seems to be th emain LotR forum for gaming I've come across.

Hello,

not directly related to which army is best to select but the
LOTR reference list I'm still putting together over at
astronomican might be of some general help;

i have an isengard army. i personally think theyre a good army. rangers etc pretty much come under the bracket of 'good' where you can have pretty much anything good in your army no matter where it comes from.

 

[Pyromanic Tendencies]

Yeah, Isengard rocks. It can choose from a huge amount of troops, and has pretty cool heroes to back it up.

 

[Larkin]

get elves they have total archer superiority brilliant heroes and good infantry

 

[Sei 'fir]

Haradrim are pretty cool with poison arrows, the raiders, harashii and the mumakil if you use them right your on to a winner

 

[cccp]

basic haradrim are defence 4, their list is restrictive and theyre heroes arent all that good. their only redeeming feature is the murmakill.

elves, whilst having good shooting and a high fight value are fucking expensive. i think from memory a basic elf with no gear is about 8 or 9 points which is only 1 less than an uruk with heavy armour. they are also reasonably frail.

 

[Larkin]

was was playing a game once and i killed so many uruks with shooting that they were going to get masacered unfortunatly for me someone realy annoying came in to the room and pissed me of so much that i just went without finishing

You won't have won that game, your elves where so close to the table edge they where about to fall off. You had nowhere to run.
And anyway, the Uruk player had no crossbowmen. If he had, he'd have kicked your sorry ass.

 

[Sei 'fir]

are we talkin bout angus

 

[Larkin]

yea it was him
but i might start a new thread just for angus and his anoyingness

sorry jug but your force was wrecked and i still had 2 heroes left so i would have won if not for angus

 

[Sei 'fir]

mmm no one knows angus larkin

 

[Larkin]

we do and we could educate the world in how to spot and kill angus before he becomes a problem

 

[Pyromanic Tendencies]

GET BACK ON TRACK BEFORE I KILL YOU BOTH TOMORROW AT SCHOOL. NO ONE BUT US KNOWS OR CARES WHO ANGUS IS.

Sorry you had to see that, everyone.

 

[cccp]

back on topic - lord of the rings.

if you want to have a childish argument about angus then have it in the off topic forum.

 

[Larkin]

Yes back on topic elves they may be expensive but they are just good at everything i killed sauron with just elven archers once.

or you could take the other path and just buy a huge goblin army and swarm everything that gets in your way that works as well.

I am sorry for the above coments that involved me.

 

[cccp]

elves are very expensive, but their strengths do lie in archery. however, uruk hai are a good all round army, almost comparable to space marines in 40k.

however, if an opponent turned up for a game with a massive goblin army he would get a few funny looks from people nearby....

 

[Larkin]

well uruk hai would be my next choise for an army because they are realy tough and cool and they can be converted realy well by even a newby lke me.
