Guys, trying to figure this list out... in terms of bow limit...

Ok, so as I read it...If I take all troops from Arnor... I can then take Dunedain and/or Rangers of the North (both normally considered independent) and group with each 4 rangers of Arnor, and this can go beyond Bow limit...

a) But what if I want to take say Halbarad and/or Arathorn and/or the twins too, can I give each of these a warband of 12 rangers, can I do this in addition to the above and still ignore bow limit for the force?

b) What if I don't take the Dunedain or Rangers of the North and just go with the above named heroes with Arnor rangers, can this force go beyond bow limit?

Grey Company rules: You have to include the Rangers in a normal warband (with a hero to lead them). But for every 4 Rangers, you must also include a Dunedain or Ranger Of The North (both independant heroes) in your force.

If you decide to go with the normal rules, 1/3 of your army can still be Rangers.

I think this example will make it clear:

Arathorn
12 Rangers of Arnor

Ranger of the North

Ranger of the North

Ranger of the North

This is legal as well as

Malbet
6 Warriors of Arnor
4 Ranger of Arnor

Captain of Arnor
4 Ranger of Arnor

Ranger of the North


For each Ranger of the North/Dunedain 4 Warriors with bows count as they aren't there. So in the second list you only count 4 bows and 10 warriors.

The above examples are good, also it's worth pointing out that the Rangers don't need to lead the Rangers directly in a Warband (which is how the OP makes it sound) in fact aren't they independent heroes? Which means that they cannot take Warbands for themselves

That's true: Dunedain and Rangers of the North are indepent hero's

Thanks guys, you've cleared that up for me

I don’t think Frêrin’s second example is correct. The Rangers of the North/Dúnedain don’t cancel out the bows. If you want to use a Grey Company force then you can ignore the bow limit but every 4 Rangers of Arnor you need to take a Ranger of the North/Dúnedain.

So in the example above you would need

Warband 1
Malbeth
6 Warriors of Arnor
4 Rangers of Arnor

Warband 2
Dúnedain

Warband 3
Captain of Arnor
4 Rangers of Arnor

Warband 4
Dúnedain

It is correct. You are still allowed to take 1/3 bows. For each Ranger of the North/Dunedain you simply ignore 4 rangers of Arnor.
