Yeah I thought about these pikes, and no, I actually dont own any feral uruks or a couple heros yet, but my budget is unlimited(within reason).
Um....by the way I thought the bow limit was 33% for each specific warband, not per force??
Pretty much any army I end up presenting here, I am within reach of putting together in a few weeks to say it simply.
Im just never sure with pikes, because although yes, its cool to see 3 attacks come in, youre spending 180 pts for a warband with the extra pike support. Then comes the idea of them rallying together to form into a unit after you initially deploy.
I could drop some of the crossbows.
Thanks for your advice though bud! Im taking everyones posts into consideration and Ill come up with a happy medium

I think it's a solid list as is tbh, and theres no lumping all his range in one basket, its powerful and versatile, high strength, plenty of might,decent defence and good numbers too.
Personally i would have a shaman but then again if you don't like magic this definitely the way to go
Simple yet very effective, doesn't even need a monster!
Yeah, the new monster rules are sweet, but every time I practice alone, monster just dont do it. They get swarmed and are a good distraction, but often dont get their points back. The only way to go is a 1000 pt or more force with like 3 monsters or more.
I played a practice with Tom Bert and Bill and all goblins against Elves and Dwarves, and yeah, the trolls were some of the last to die or took a lot of effort from the enemies charge, but man, they didnt even come close to getting their points back. You really have to make sure you only got 1-2 enemies on you with them.
And I dont like magic, but I do like shamans. They are simple, and tactical. I just dont like wizards, wraiths etc. Even elven magic is ok. In this case, I mainly said that for saruman! Darth Sidious nothing!
And thank you for the imput!
