so, im at the crossroad point of having to choose an army to go with.

i currently have 1 unit of WOMT. thats my army ive been fighting with against my local friends. i want to expand my army.

i also really like the rohan.

which army do you think i should go with. and which models i should get next to enhance my army?

thanks

In answer to you question:

-You should stick with Gondor. Gondor has solid warriors,(relatively) tough cavalry, access to warmachines and plenty of Heroes to choose from (ranging from cheap, effective leaders to high end Über's like Aragorn and Boromir). Rohan is a difficult army to use but is cavalry centric. However many of the models from both armies are fun to paint.

-If you take my advice on sticking with Gondor then I advise you to obtain the following- Faramir (on foot and on horse), a box of Rangers of Middle Earth, a box of Gondorian Knights (and (optional) the 'Gondor in Flames' sourcebook).

Buy the Rangers and Faramir first (so that you get a good mid-level hero and more importantly, have 49 men (1 under the limit of troops in a 500< point game) since numbers are important in SBG. This will provide you with a good starting point with the cavalry being your next purchase.

-Once you have a 500 point force you could consider buying any of the following: Another box of WoMT, Osgilath Veterans (they are a perfect compliment to Faramir), Citadel Guard, Fountain Guards, fiefdoms troops (Knights of Dol Armoth etc.) or another box of Knights.

After 750+ points though, the rest is up to you and how you want to build your army.

Good Luck.

Yours

EDIT: This is the advice I gave to my friend who started Gondor and his army wiped the floor at the SBG beginner games and still continues to provide a challenge for my goblin tactics.

thanks so much!

I couldn't agree more with the Dragon of Moria, follow what he's said if you can and you should have a decent army in no time. Gondor are a very good army and tough to play against, so you should be ok even if you aren't so sure on the rules and tactics.
