Sorry for all the LotRsy titles, but with the extended RotK coming out timorrow, I can't resist.

Varatrix-156
(Witch King)

***Honorguard-38
EF Stag-47
(Mouth of Sauron)

**Solonavi Shadex2-58
(2 of 8 other Nazgul)

The Witch King goes around killing stuff, while the Mouth goes where he is needed most. The other Nazgul harass. So, how is it? Thanks! :)

i wouldn't use that as an army. range would probably be a big problem. And with the current archetypes of BoL and arcane sight or stone of scrying, it makes for a pretty hard to use army.

You have little range, and mostly close combat power only. That would require a lot of harrassment, or you would need healing.

i might scrap the shades and simply plop the souldrinker onto trix, making him magic immune, as well as allowing him to heal whenever he kills somebody. Then add an item to enhance his speed like the cloak of shadows. (if it still fits the points)

ognib, who cares about BoL, with the army you can base the BoL wielder turn two, and probably be doing major damamge with the stag/honorguard.

I like Theme Armies... And a trio of ringwraiths is a fun idea. Heck, if I had a Trix, I'd run this just for a few laughs ^_^

After seeing how awful the Mouth of Sauron is the movie, and how easily he is beheaded, I think I'll have to get a remod on my Honorguard :p.

In all seriousness, I really like this army. Healing could really help. I was trying to get a ***Dragon Priest on the Stag instead of the Honorguard, but then I'd have to demote a Shade to a **ZC. What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards the Honorguard, due to his high defense, Command, and CB.

Well, the healer costs you a Ringwraith... And then you'd be running only two. I'd say Healing adds effectiveness, while the Honorguard keeps the flavor. It's a toss up ^_^

I'll stick with flavor, just because the Honorguard has a nice 18 defense. Although, in the movie, he was decapitated rather easily...

Gamewise, this army has a hard time against Soaring Ranged threats (Namely Rowan w/Wyrm Strike) w/Arcane Sight, guarded by a Sky Dragon. I lack arial superiority, and they can spend that whole game shooting. Once Trix gets in the air and is not shot down, he goes against the Skydragon and looses. Sure he takes the Rider down with him, but a 156 for 34 trade isn't exactly a good one. Then my army has to run around the whole game. I must say, the game has showed me the incredible value of the Stag's awesome speed.

Here's a new one that I don't like as much, because I loose the insane speed of the Stag, as well as the flavor;

Varatrix-156
Wylden Host-Leader-78
*Blood Demonx2-66

Now I have healing and a ranged fighter, although I can only heal Varatrix once he's 6ish clicks down.

Varatrix-156
MSB-10
***Regal Skymage-63
*Blood Demonx2-66

More offensive, but I loose the insane speed again.

Ok, cleaned up version I really like:

Varatrix-156
Scorch Hammer-30
***Regal Skymage-63
*Zombie Centaurx2-48

The synergy between the 1st 2 is beautiful. Instead of wasting 3 turns to get the Skymage into Bound, I just have to have her in base with Varatrix at the beginning of the turn. With the Hammer, Varatrix can destroy Cavalry and Swarms, and can pop anything for 10 once. The ZCs are tried and true.

nice polished verson. not as much LotR theme but it could do well:) also you might want to get a healer.

plus, finially a person using scortch hammer!
ive never seen it done


well done :)
