So in 2 days i have a battle again with my friend who has picked Gondor. only thing i can guess strongly is he will pick boromir (but i doupt banner as it will be way costly...but then again its a guess) followed by many mini heroes such as damrod/beregond/captains

I have gone with easterlings and this is my army so far
* i didnt bother picking any bows because im pretty sure he will out shoot me strongly

Warband 1
Ambur (leader)
x11 easterling warriors with shield

warband 2
War priest
X11 easterling warriors wtih shield + pikes +black dragons (this will be the 2nd line)

warband 3
Easterling captain with shield
x11 easterling warriors with pike + shields

warband 4
Dragon knight
-with armored horse

warband 5
khamul on felbeast
X5 black dragon kataphrakts

=43 models
-10 might
-6 cavalry + 1 monster

Plan is:
- to keep a tight formation with infatry to get full benefit from ambur and war priest rules
-charge ambur/dragon knight to his minor heroes to keep getting back might while keeping boromir trasfixed with khamul as much as possible
-open space with fell beast from his rear along with my cavalry to charge the dragon knight to boromir while i have bladewath and he has transfix, that should be an instant kill with a little help from mother luck

of course anything can change to the course of battle

any advice is welcome to either alter (only a little ) the list or the tactics

Looks like you have planned well

Please don't take this as anything serious because it's meant in jest... but... it's AmDur! Lol every time I read "Ambur" I go a little crazy inside lol.

That aside, bows with either force is near useless as both of you have such low strength bows ahs high defense troops. I would also recommend taking some Easterlings as "Black Dragons" simply so you can win drawn combats or force roll-offs against Fountain Guard and other F4 Gondor.
It'll be a grind fest as neither of you will be able to kill each other much at all lol but with Fury I'd give you the advantage

He has got 11 Black Dragons. I understand your pain James. I see things like that all the time.
