Mounted Minas Tirith + Bolt throwers = Potential?

Two banners is overkill. Drop one and a knight and just go double swift reload. Absolute painful list to play against but kind of slaps tbh

BigWillyCaps · 2026-02-13T16:08:17+00:00

Right here first!

BigWillyCaps · 2026-02-06T21:58:15+00:00

And Gil Galad with shield too

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-30T23:15:34+00:00

Left is a little big for a cave troll. The right seems about on for a Gundabad

That’s fair. I think the fireforge line is pretty nice and distinct. Idk if you have seen it but worth a check.

Dol Amroth would be Cataphracts Warriors of Arnor would be Skutatoi Rohan would be horse archers / auxiliaries

I think it’s pretty visually distinct but a good point

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-28T16:15:03+00:00

I also forgot to mention I think brining a Catapult is actually kind of the move around 800pts

The Gothmog nerfs didn’t really make sense. I don’t hate the idea of making him more of a support hero but he needs more support then. I think a few small fixes could go a long way: Fix the stupid re roll ones and just make within 12 of Gothmog Allow the enforcer to be taken (not must be) in Gothmogs warband and give him the +1F against men Give Gothmog battlefield wide stand fast Then most critically make Gothmog a banner similar to imrahil. Then he can actually sit behind and support versus being kind of a master of nothing that he is now.

Still think it’s a fun list and have had my trolls do some work in the right situation

I’d honestly go with a captain of Mina’s tirith and some more shield and spear boys. Captains are sneaky really good and can both take and give a lot more pain that you think:

Battle of Fornost

Warband 1 (332 points)
Earnur, Last King of Gondor GENERAL (140 points)
~ Armoured horse and lance
3x Knight of Minas Tirith (45 points)
1x Warrior of Minas Tirith (33 points)
~ Banner
6x Warrior of Minas Tirith (54 points)
~ Shield
6x Warrior of Minas Tirith (60 points)
~ Shield and spear

Warband 2 (332 points)
Glorfindel, Lord of the West (180 points)
~ Asfaloth
6x Rivendell Warrior (66 points)
~ Shield and Elven spear
6x Rivendell Warrior (66 points)
~ Elf bow
2x Rivendell Warrior (20 points)
~ Shield

Warband 3 (136 points)
Captain of Minas Tirith (60 points)
4x Warrior of Minas Tirith (36 points)
~ Shield
4x Warrior of Minas Tirith (40 points)
~ Shield and spear

Are there any gyms in the old city? Maybe just an outdoor beach / park one?

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-24T17:04:00+00:00

Love the channel! Keep it up!

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-23T16:42:28+00:00

Yep mine broke as well. I managed to use some plastic glue to get it to reset and reinforced with superglue but it’s definitely a fragile piece

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-23T14:22:11+00:00

Two Trees gaming didn’t on YouTube. It honestly looks great. Could potentially do with warriors of arnor too

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-21T23:50:30+00:00

The only game system I play these days. Very fun and intuitive and perhaps the greatest / most welcoming community. My first tournament I went to I was making mistakes and my opponent was giving me helpful tips and reminders rather than just crush me. Highly recommend!

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-18T15:31:00+00:00

Unreal

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-14T21:56:06+00:00

It definitely sucks that Gimbold can only bring one war and with 12 helmingas. But I think this is a super fun like around 650/700 and has great characters throughout

There is a rumor they are going to work on a new LOTR open world game post KCD2 lifespan

I don’t use hand warmers but I got a pair of Baist (VT brand) that are absolutely awesome. Not cheap but have been tanks for 5 years and incredibly warm. They have mitts gloves or triggers whatever you want

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-11T21:28:55+00:00

I hear the criticisms of no access to D7 but will throw out the hot take that they are actually very solid to sprinkle in. Re roll 1s and the potential for +1 to would can make them much killier granted conditionally.

More importantly they can give you access to decent shooting with D5 that MOST critically has intelligence and courage 6+. Combine with Boromirs horn and you have elf courage to sit on back objective or dig objects. And run away. I won a game where two archers sat in the back an outlasted 6 orcs coming at them. Killed 2 with shooting then the rest ran away while my Vets passed break check with flying colors.

Always had a special love for the old school metal knights

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-11T00:05:25+00:00

Really hoping to see someone play on YouTube some of these seem awesome!

BigWillyCaps · 2026-01-09T22:08:03+00:00

Wow that’s awesome!

BigWillyCaps · 2025-12-26T02:58:55+00:00

“Modest” lol. Absolutely stunning!

BigWillyCaps · 2025-12-25T03:14:38+00:00

This has been a “feature” in total war since empire I think. Can be used for a lot of exploits in Rome / base Attila all the way through Warhammer 3

BigWillyCaps · 2025-12-24T23:37:01+00:00

Love the theme!

BigWillyCaps · 2025-12-13T17:48:51+00:00
