Post subject:  900 points Alternative Fellowship
So, my local GW is currently running a competition of sorts on thursday, and I might attend.

The idea is to create an alternative fellowship, either good or evil (no mixing allowed!) that consists of 9 models (no less, no more). The points limit is 900. The only special rule is that one of your models must carry a ring of power, that awards no bonuses, and the chosen model must pass a courage test each turn with a -1 modifier. If the chosen model fails this courage test, it will run of the board. The game ends when one side is below 25% (aka, the loosing side).

I have thought of many lists, the latest being:

The Dark Lord Sauron (without the One Ring)
2*Castellan of Dol Guldur, both with Morgul Blade
Grishnák, with shield
Orc Captain, with shield
Ringwraith, with extra: 2/4/1 and a horse
Ringwraith, with extra 2/1/0 and the ring of power (throw channeled black dart twice, and vanish)
2*Ringwraith, with extra 2/3/1

I would like to take a fell beast, but I won't have the carrying capacity to bring any thing larger than Sauron, trolls etc..

The idea behind the list is board control, and - Turn 1) Sap will, Turn 2) Channeled Black Dart (with 4 dice) /Chill soul - if the opponent has invested in a few strong models (these will be targeted), and filled up with the likes of Damrod and Beregond etc. I believe these types of lists will be fairly common, and they will probably be filled by elven heroes and the likes of Aragorn and Boromir.

All lists are welcome, good/evil, theme or no theme, cheesy or not!

Cheers! :)

I like the Fantasy Fellowship building rules better in WD (the second time they made them). only because of themed building, as you picked a ring bearer and his companion, and then each of the roles were selected/swapped. This tournament seams to have only bare bones of that (900 points and 9 models) and I can see why as they are not running a campaign.
I think you are right that people will stick to the general old fantasy style lists of swapping merry for beregond and Gimli for an elf hero and things like that. And thus you will have some advantage with all the wraiths. But fighting a well put together council (fellowship) could do much of the same back to your lads. Should be fun. I am surprised they didn't limit mounts as having movement to control the board and get charge dice and things like that can give some fellowships a great advantage.

Your list seems realy good, good enough to be a little bit boring in my opinion. If you wanna play with a little more risk, I would take would take out Sauron and play something like this:

Witchking of Angmar with armoured horse, extra 3/3/3
The Undying with armoured horse
The Shadow Lord with armoured horse
Ringwraith with armoured horse extra 1/0/0 (ring of might)
Ringwraith with armoured horse extra 2/1/2
Ringwraith with armoured horse extra 2/1/2
Ringwraith with armoured horse extra 2/1/2
Black Númenórean Marshall with armoured horse, Shield
Black Númenórean Marshall with armoured horse, Shield

Two more spell casters. The strategy is the same like yours, but with the horses you are much faster and every of your miniatures has the terror special rule.

Here a list of the good forces:
(is every body allowed to were a ring of might, or only the real ones?)
Aragorn - Strider with Elven Cloak
Legolas with armour, Elven Cloak
Thranduil with armour, Elven Cloak
Haldir with armour, Elven Cloak, Elf bow
Ranger of the north (ring of might)/Smeagol
Elladan and Elrohir with Elven Cloak, Elf bow
King's Huntsman
Radagast the Brown with Sebastian

Where can I find these rules for making your own fellowship?

It's a cool idea!
