| Post subject: | Carn Dum and Angmar questions |
How different is The Ruin of Arnor from Moria and Angmar are they interchangeable? I have owned the game for some time though I have never played. I am interested in building an Angmar army. Several years ago WD had an article detailing Angmar, it included "men of Carn Dum" . I did not notice them in The Ruin of Arnor. Are they still included as options to take? |

I have owned the game for some time though I have never played. I am interested in building an Angmar army. The rules for models mostly havn't changed I think, no changes to profiles and points. But some units were removed from the Angmar "list" in M&A. Wild Wargs were removed (now found in the Moria list), and Warg Riders were added. What the Ruin of Arnor had that M&A does not have, are the narrative historical scenarios which form a mini-campaign of sorts. I'd recommend getting both if you can. Whilst you need M&A for the most current and up to date rules (Warbands), it lacks the fluff, narrative scenarios and overall charm of RoA. M&A may seem a little bland in comparison. Quote: Several years ago WD had an article detailing Angmar, it included "men of Carn Dum" . I did not notice them in The Ruin of Arnor. Are they still included as options to take? No. That was a White Dwarf only unit, and not an official expansion to the game equivalent to a sourcebook - you could only use them with your opponents' consent. A good stand in would be the armoured Dunlending Warriors from the Isengard list, converted and painted to suit an Angmar theme. |

thanks for the info. I'll take a look at the Isengard list. I liked the look of the Army of the Dead painted in an Angmar theme from that White Dwarf. I have some Mordor Orcs that I am working on now, I'll move onto some other Angmar units when they are finished. |
