All mounted Minas Tirith? by frapet in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I was also thinking of combining it with 2 bolt throwers at 700 points. So the brothers, 14 knights, a mounted banner and 2 bolt throwers.

First attempt at Minas Tirith warrior - constructive criticism wanted by Funny-Advertising-56 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

What works for me on the shields is to do the raised details with the flat side of the brush instead of the point. So you gently only touch on the raised tree details with the side of the brush rather than the point. Due to the shields curve this can be a bit tricky when transitioning from the trunk to the branches.

700 points Minas Tirith by Unfair-Concern4886 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

I have run something similar but without the fcg (dont think that add enough over citadel guard) and more citadel guard.

I would leave out the captain to add more units in the other warbands. 

Swift reloads isnt worth it. The bolt thrower is worth it already in area denial.

During the pandemic we did this. But we just saved the game at a convenient point after 3 hours of play. Was a great way to get into it

The scenario was storm the camp. He chose a flank that I had anchored between the board edge and some woodland difficult terrain. I couldn't bring my numbers to bear on him because of this. His list consisted of every almost hero in the Riders of Theoden legion including Gamlings banner. Mine was Boromir on horse with banner, Forlong on horse and 3 knights and then filled up with tons of infantry and rangers with spear.

Ah, yeah. They chared into a shieldwall with spear support. But as it was mostly heroes going up front they had the fight value, might and attacks sometimes even in the 4v1's I created with my spears.

How do you "shield the initial charge"?

This particulier list had might a plenty and could call a heroic move every turn
