I've made up the best contest of champions army ever! Here is an army to get instant points in a torney:

Dark Lord Sauron
upgrades

The one ring

That's it!

explanation:

You will always get 5 points with this army
look
Major victory is already archieved if you made 2 kills (use drain soul for 4+ :!:

) because your opponent can't make more then one kill so 20 points
Minor victory is not possible to get
Draw if you both made 1 kill (almost impossible) so 10 points
Minor defeat if your enemy leader killed Sauron (in case of a very lucky king of the dead), so you'll still get 5 points....
Major defeat not possible............

You will almost always get the major victory, making 2 kills with Sauron is not that hard...... just drain soul 2 times and you've won.
So

It's an illegal army (Min 3 models) and will probaby lose all the other scenarios in the competition.

yeah indeed it is useless but it is funny to do once...
So just put 2 orcs in your force and put them at the other side of the table where he hasn't got his leader.
Sauron almost can't di

By the way I found out that if Sauron doesn't make any kills it will still be a Maior defeat.
I'm sorry

I've faced Sauron twice. The first time I had Aragorn with Anduril, so I thought I had a chance (indeed, I managed to reduce Sauron to one wound). The second time, however, I was in a very bad situation: we had rolled for the scenario and got To The Death... I surrendered when I realized there were two models in my army that wouldn't need double 6's to wound him.

How do you hide a model, your army just walks past Sauron and kill them.

Very simple way to counter those 500pt armies in a Contest of Champions, take cavalry and run around Sauron (keeping well out of range of spells) before attacking his escorting troops. If they huddle next to the Dark Lord, pick them off with archers. Cavalry can run circles around Sauron since they move 4" faster and if they have bows they can fire at 24" to Chill Soul's 18".
