Who is the Most Popular Race in the Lord of the Rings Game?
Vote for your favourite, giving reasons as a comment.

Personally I like the Easterlings most, in my 1250pt Fallen Realms army only a pair of allied Mordor Siege Bows and a Khandish king aren't Easterlings. Of course the army is lead by Khamul.

I personally like my Rohirrim... They are very fun to play with b/c they have a lot of flexibility. Also, having light cav that can shoot and scoot people down is always fun.

Lurtz steers my direction towards Uruk Hai.

I have never played the game itself, but I agree with a black ram about the Uruk Hai, who can resist all those pikes and the tough looking armour!?

Sorry guys, had to go haradrim. Taste Mumakil fools!

Although I do also love my 100ish man Elves army, and my uruk-hai legion.

I love the Urak-Hai stat wise they're just broken, I also really really like Arnor, but there wasn't a button to vote for them. I know they're part of Gondor in WoTR, but I only play LoTR where they're their own army.

Lord of the Rings is one of those few games that has nothing but cool armies in it, but I had to show some love to Wood Elves. If I ever get back into the game, they're the force that I'll be building (for LotR, probably not WotR).

I like pretty much all the Evil factions.

Rangers of Ilithien are easily the coolest looking models in the game, so some form of men army focused around them.

Orcs ftw, but you cannot play Easterlings as an army, they can only be taken as allies.

Umm, I don't know what the situation is with WotR, I don't play crap games, but in SBG, Easterlings are a viable choice. I think a few years ago they were flavour of the season? And with all of the models that have come out recently, they are even more viable.

Anyways, on topic, my favourite is definitely "present-day" Arnor, but there is no choice for it. For me it's the sneaky tactics LOLJK ARAGORN AND ELF TWINS! that does it for me.

Good my favs and races I play are Elves and Gondor

Evil Easterlings/Fallen realms and Mordor

Hobbits!! Can't wait for any new plastic models!!

Dwarfs, but Haradrim are cool too! Dwarfs are just awesome, small people with beards, what do you want more?

I'll tell you what I want more of, SBG support.

The thought of out manuvering any army is why i like the Rohirrim

Uruk-hai as they are epic with pikemen then the scout then they blow them selves up and the have trolls

I like Uruks for the Pikes, Gondorians for their armour, and Rohirrim because they are basically mounted saxons.

dwarves for the mithril

Wood Elves i like the most . Nice racing .

Wood Elves is the most pupular racing .

Gondor is my Favourite with the dark forces of Mordor following closely

I don't play at the moment, but if my boys got into the films down the road and asked for us to get the game, I'd go with a Easterlings force for certain.

@waftseo - Wood Elves are pretty cool. Also the fact that you can get a horde of elite fighters out of them makes them really viable.

Hey what about Arnor, there my fav, I always have been a fan of the Rangers of the north.
