.........so, baddies and monsters - id probably have more good armies but they have no capacity to take monsters, they can take game winning heroes and in all honesty will probably kick the ass of my monsters off the board - but..... monsters
Apart from Angmar, the most monstery army of all is Azogs legion, save maybe an all cave troll army, but thats just silly
So, Azogs legion -
The beserkers - in my 800 point army, there will be 15 of these, 12 are in the post - they have a almost keeping up with a horse movement of 8 and 2 attacks, plus if they get killed, on a roll of 6 they shrug off the wound and carry on
The trolls - there are three to choose from, a troll with scythes, a troll with crushing club, and the troll brute - if youve seen the hobbit hes the all white one with scythes for feet and flails for hands been steered by his eye sockets (quite frikking dark and horrific really) - hes in the post too
how big and awesome are they? Heres a berserker next to him
and the man himself - Azog the Despoiler on The White Warg
So for a complete Azog army at 800, im waiting for 12 more berserkers, an orc captain, 2 ogres and the troll brute - my opponent fears azog the most, as mentioned earlier the secret to winning the game is knowing when to spend the all important might to call heroic actions, Azogs special ability is that when you call a heroic action he gets the same action for free, then you just roll off to see who goes first - so normally most top tier heroes will have 3 might and will spend these on either heroic actions or increasing failed dice rolls - Azog starts with 3, gets an extra 3 as long as hes on the warg and doesnt need to spend any might on actions if youre going to call the ones he wants to
As an aside, a chance conversation with a chap on ebay led to an unexpected offer of £200 for all the Morgul knights (£75), so theyve been sold and packed off - it leaves shelob whos for sale, the mouth on horse i threw in for free and the dark marshal who ill post on sale tomorrow
I realised (not like enough of us here!!) i had too much - so now im narrowed down to 1000 pts of Angmar, 800 points of Rivendell, 800 points of Azog - ive given up on the camel mounted Far Harad and Serpent Horde for the same reason - enough is enough
Well, enough was enough and then the dirty GW bastards announced this at the weekend
wankers
