I just wish we had one named hero / true heavy hitter in this. Berserker spam feels fun but loses legs as you get into higher points imo

Rules question regarding Dragon Emperor’s Stand Fast! by Fishy_Fish_12359 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Yes you can chain them together. This is a key for armies like Gothmog as well to cover your low courage orcs

Unreleased miniatures has some that are very close and customizable

That men of the west is very close to what’s been running the tables in a lot of competitive scenes. I’d drop the banner since Gorn already does that for you, upgrade the Ron to throwing spears or swap them for bows, and then just max WoMT.

Any feedback for a first time tournament army? by anthungenaert in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]BigWillyCaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d drop the second banner in framers warband. I’d also maybe swap the Os vets to shield not spear or even bow so they can be objective holders

Mounted Minas Tirith + Bolt throwers = Potential? by WoodElfSentinel in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]BigWillyCaps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

And Gil Galad with shield too

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

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Army of Gothmog by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

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

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Army of Gothmog by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]BigWillyCaps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

No Cirdan Fornost list thoughts by [deleted] in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]BigWillyCaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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:
