Post subject:  (WOTR) New Army!
I have an elf army at the moment which is about 2000-2500pts which is based around Lothlorien, i love it! But now its time for change, And im thinking of using an Uruk Hai army.
I love the models, I love the way they look...etc
The only thing im unsure of is how they really play, ive only faced a Uruk army once and he wasnt very aggresive(not charging much) which seemed crazy to me, because from the way i saw it there strong as hell.
Im going on to much so. All im asking is how do they play?

Thanks in advance
CJ :-D

I envy your lothlorien army :oops: how long did that take to build up?
Anyway, on to the uruk-hai. Well i'd say there probably the second best evil faction( only second because mordor suit my evil tactics the best: field masses of orcs :twisted: ) and yes, that strength 4 really helps. They also have a good range of troops such as:
Phalanx:extremely effective against cavalry
Uruk-hai warband:high strength and defence
Uruk-hai scout warband:still good defence,high strength and move of 7''
Warg riders: high strength, fast moving and prowlers special rule
Beserkers: extremely good on the charge :twisted:
and then the odd troll here and there :-D
Then Lurtz and saruman are probably the best isengard heroes:
Lurtz has 4 might points and some very nice special rules
Saruman has mastery 3, touched by destiny and voice of saruman(which means that enemies wishing to charge saruman's formation must role a dice and get above 3 or the charge automatically fails)

So yes, if you use them well and select good troops, then Isengard would definately be a very good choice 8)

(oh and isengard also have some very effective battle hosts, but i don't have my battlehosts book with me right now :roll: )

It took about 5 to 6 weeks to get it up to full 2500pt standard that i was happy with. Im suprised myself at how i got them all painted so fast lol.
I just love how you can shoot the enemy to death! hehe :P
