I challenged myself to write a very different Mordor list. No Morannons, no troll drummers, no Gothmog/Shagrat. No problem!
May I introduce, the army of Gogoroth!!!!
The shadow lord (the key to this army as you will see later)
4 ward riders w shields (Backline and artillery harassment)
5 orc trackers (objective holders)
2 black guard & 1 Uruk with shield (bodyguards for the shadow lord)
Captain
6 Warriors w shields
6 warriors w spears
Captain
6 warriors w shields
6 warriors w spears
Great beast of Gogoroth
Great beast of Gogoroth
750pts
The plan is to either deploy the orc hoard and the shadow lords clique between the 2 great beasts, or if the scenario/terrain/enemy army calls for it, deploy them on the flanks of the 2 big daddys.
Walk forward. Use the shadow lords ability to protect the army from all shooting attacks. Shoot the enemy with our 23 bow shots a turn. Kill em dead with the 2 great beasts. Shadow lord compels characters out of our way.
I do feel like I should have a Shaman for Fury though
The obvious weaknesses are split deployment scenarios and a lack of banner. What do y'all think? Seems horiffically powerful at least 30-40% of the time and very unfun for certain armies to play against!
