So I am considering an Angmar army.
Leader-Cannot remember the name, but he is the one with seeping decay. 180pts
Dwimmerlaik
10 orc warriors

160pts
Hero-Shade
10 orc warriors

110pts
Hero-Barrow-Weight
10 orc warriors

110pts
Hero-Barrow-Weight
10 orc warriors

However, I a, considering sacking my Ring-wraith for 2 cave trolls with hand and a half hammer. I would have to also sack 40pts of orcs.
My orcs will have 1/3 with shield and pick, 1/3 with spear, 1/3 with two handed weapon. :sauron: :sauron:

Your list round up at 560 which is quite odd. is it intentional ?

Can you edit your post to display only points at the warband level please. It would be appreciated.

On the list itself, I would say that, trolls or no trolls, it looks really short on might. Without the Tainted you are going to be in dire straights. Even with him, I think you'd be in trouble. What about Buhrdur, the shade, and the Tainted and then such orcs as you can bring? I think having Buhrdur and his might, plus hero killing power, would be more reliable than the paralysis spells.

Manadar, I think I need to redo my math.
Wan Shi Tong, that is a great suggestion. However, won't I essentially lose my army bonus?

Hmm. Okay, banking on terror to negate charges and leave your troops to move as they like rather than might for heroics. Loosing the wraith for two trolls at what 500pts? Not much will be able to deal with the trolls backed up by a shade at that level. With the wraith you're banking on orcs to killing this to carry the day. Trolls or Buhrdur for the wraith is the question. Maybe the trolls would be enough. Depends on what you are fighting. I think it is worth a try.

Hmmm... So I will probably go with two cave trolls. They have burly now. One shade. And orc captains.

Have you considered a spectre or two ? They can be incredibly useful in the right situation.

Yes... I could isolate heroes... That could work.
