Hi all, I've been struggling to think of an army I really like and I know I wanted to incorporate some Rangers of the North in it somewhere. Then after a lot of thought, it hit me. I was looking at it, just go full Arnor.
So here it is!
I know its a bit light on the amount of men but wasn't quite sure where to squeeze some more in.

Warband 1
Halbarad Dúnadan with Spear
5 Rangers of Arnor with Spear
7 Rangers of Arnor

Warband 2
Malbeth the Seer
8 Warriors of Arnor

Warband 3
Captain of Arnor with Shield
7 Warriors of Arnor

Warband
Ranger of the North with Spear

Warband
Ranger of the North with Spear

Warband
Ranger of the North with Spear

Thanks for looking and any advice is much appreciated!

Looks like fun :)

A standard 500 point Grey Company list would look like this..

W1 - Arathorn
6 Rangers of Arnor
6 Rangers of Arnor (Spears)

W2 - Halbarad
6 Rangers of Arnor
6 Rangers of Arnor (Spears)

W3 - Ranger of the North (spear)

W4 - Ranger of the North (spear)

W5 - Ranger of the North (spear)

W6 - Ranger of the North (spear)

W7 - Ranger of the North (spear)

W8 - Ranger of the North (spear)

But the above isn't as fun to play as say

W1 - Halbarad (horse)
12 Warriors of Arnor

W2 - Malbeth
12 Warriors of Arnor

W3 - Captain of Arnor (bow)
12 Rangers of Arnor

If I was meddling with yours, I might do the following…

W1 - Halbarad
6 Warriors of Arnor
6 Rangers of Arnor (Spear)

W2 - Malbeth
6 Warriors of Arnor
6 Rangers of Arnor (Spear)

W3 - Ranger of the North

W4 - Ranger of the North

W5 - Captain of Arnor
6 Warriors of Arnor

I really like the look of this list! Thank you for the advice.
Just a quick question, are hobbits worth taking at all? Just a quick list I thought of to represent the hobbits that aided Arnor.

Malbeth the Seer
2 Ranger of Arnor with Spear
4 Ranger of Arnor
6 Warrior of Arnor

Halbarad Dúnadan with Spear
2 Ranger of Arnor with Spear
4 Ranger of Arnor
6 Warrior of Arnor

Ranger of the North with Spear
Ranger of the North with Spear
Ranger of the North with Spear

Peregrin, Captain of the Shire with Elven cloak
8 Hobbit Militia
4 Hobbit Archer

This list comes in at exactly 500 points.

I'm also building a 100% Arnor army and I tend to use Arvedui instead of Malbeth.
I find that the Rangers become separated from the Warriors fairly quickly, so the Gift of Foresight rule that you've paid a premium for only affects half your men. Secondly, a 12" Stand Fast! Is extremely helpful with Courage 2 Warriors. Arvedui is also 10 points cheaper.

If you are going for the Grey Company, consider Elladan and Elrohir! Kill orcs in droves!

Using the old lotr rulebook: only has Aragorn and rangers of the north as heroes. Can't afford any of the new sourcebooks or rulebooks at the moment. :sad:
