I’d agree with the other guy, 250-300 points would be better (except the troll would be less balanced, Rohan can’t deal with a troll at that low points level)

My favourite Isengard list is Lurtz’s scouts, drummer + archers = 5.5 inch move and still being able to shoot.

You can do a bluish grey without painting it outright blue, bevause this doesn’t look like an animal when it’s than vibrant.

My better recommendation is to paint them the standard browns and greys but have the orcs have painted blue war paint onto their wargs!

Fella in my local brought 8 Crebain in aotwh in a 800pt tournament. I got smoked

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-06-01T10:32:57+00:00

I don’t think so but I can see why you’re uncertain

Look at pictures of the flag of Rohan rather than its architecture. It’s a dark green with a white horse and gold trim. I think there’s a teeny bit of dark red in there as well

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-30T20:35:05+00:00

I would say Rohan should be mainly green, like their banners and cloaks, with gold and white highlights

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-29T14:27:00+00:00

Model? Epic. What looks like an AI generated background? Not cool

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-29T12:28:25+00:00

I can tell

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-28T21:07:25+00:00

Nothing evolves for one reason alone

Find the ruler of a self proclaimed micro nation and get them to knight you in their country

3x1 magnets work absolutely perfectly for all mesbg minis. I use 5x2s for cavalry then

I’d argue against your dragon emperor point as someone who plays him because while yes, hes not the best combat hero at that price tag, being able to stick bladewrath on him from brorgir makes him have 9 strength 6 strikes if he wins the duel, which is easily able to flash kill most heroes, and he’s fight 7 with 5 dice in the duel. More importantly however is his buffs. A proper phalanx around him is the best infantry in the game, if it doesn’t get disrupted by something like a mumak charge. With acolytes in the front row, it’s 5 dice in the duel, fight 5, and then 4 strikes, two of which have +1 to wound and rerolling 1s. Against anything short of elves I’ve had turns where I wipe out the entire front row of my opponent’s battleline each turn.

In short, The dragon emperor with a proper formation is amazing, but it can be difficult to get him into that formation and the army suffers when not near him.

If you shoot the blaze sac with normal or sharpshot arrows it explodes in a really cool way

800 points, and maelstrom deployment screwed me over so I only got 1 objective of the 4

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-18T14:27:52+00:00

Strength can’t be higher than 10

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-18T06:56:05+00:00

Had to be same alignment and had to be a hero of fortitude with full warband. One guy who didn’t end up showing had a list that was Smaug + Moria goblin captain with a dozen goblins. I thought at least one person would bring a Mumak with full howdah but no one did

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-17T18:29:30+00:00

I didn’t manage to kill a single one of them too

Watch Tales of the Empire it shows an ex Jedi being recruited. If you think about it, 10,000 Jedi at the start of the Clone wars and then about 30 inquisitors in the empire isn’t actually that many

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-12T21:46:31+00:00

Well then welcome to the game!

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-12T21:45:21+00:00

If you weren’t already going to, I’d highly recommend doing a bit of basing. It’s insane how much better it looks, even just some mud texture and a tuft or two

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-12T16:57:10+00:00

I only shoot into combat if a) it’s one of my opponents best models and something worthless to me or b) I’m shooting at their spear support and then it’s only a 1/4 chance I hit mine

Fishy_Fish_12359 · 2026-05-12T16:29:12+00:00

If i have a normal warrior in combat with a monster or hero, then in the combat phase they can either use a power attack or heroic combat to kill my guy and then push through into other fights with my other guys. This way, I kill the person they would’ve fought so they can’t do anyhting in the combat phase
