Hey me and my mate want to get back into the lotr minis. We play sbg I have chosen an army of Uruk hai just for their sheer coolness. I will be facing Gondor army's such as minas tirith and rangers of Gondor. Any ideas in what to get to smash the human race. cheers

Isengard is a good choice, pretty easy to build an army with, and easy to expand on previous purchases. Depends if you're going for heavy armour and formations, or lighter and possibly more mobile. If you want the former, you'll want a couple boxes of uruks with shield and pike (1 box is 200 points), a few blisters of xbows, and a couple blisters of berzerkers or ferals. I find any of the heroes useful, though personally I've found Lurtz to the be the least effective (your mileage may vary). You also can't go wrong with a box of warg riders and Sharku. In bigger armies you can take Saruman and Grima to great effect. The only thing you might suffer from is lack of mobile bows, but xbows punch nicely through D6 armour. If you go with Scouts, you could get Mauhur for extra mobility. Scouts are also decent bowmen and come with the requisite 33% bows. Unfortunately 1/3rd of the box has no shields or bows. If you screen your shieldless guys with D5 shields against S2 bows more will survive to combat, where D4 or D5 won't matter. |

In my opinion, Uruk-hai are far and away the most effecient army to use against Gondor, so you're already one step ahead of your opponent. To deal with the Knights, massed Pikes work surprisingly well. |

To take on Aragorn king you just need Sauruman and a bunch of uruk/ uruk captians. Compel, or transfix him with Saruman and then (hopefully if he is compelled) you can surround him. Also you could try using Grima to cause Aragorn's free point of might to effectively be negated, however it is very easy for an opponent to surround Grima so that all he ever does is tie up his points worth of models. |
