Well, I had planned on building a Haradrim force but then after seeing the Fell Wargs in person my plans suddenly changed After reading what little I could find online, I came up with the two following lists. Comments and suggestion are welcome.

Azog's Hunters - 250 pts Hunter Orc Force


Warband One

Fimbul the Hunter @ 60 pts
* Fell Warg

2 Hunter Orcs @ 32 pts
* Fell Wargs

8 Hunter Orcs @ 64 pts


Warband Two

Hunter Orc Captain @ 45 pts

5 Hunter Orcs @ 45 pts
* Orc Bows


GRAND TOTAL: 246 pts

Azog's Hunters - 500 pts Hunter Orc Force


Warband One

Fimbul the Hunter @ 60 pts
* Fell Warg

6 Hunter Orcs @ 96 pts
* Fell Wargs

5 Fell Wargs @ 45 pts


Warband Two

Hunter Orc Captain @ 45 pts

12 Hunter Orcs @ 96 pts


Warband Three

Hunter Orc Captain @ 50 pts
* Orc Bow

8 Hunter Orcs @ 102 pts
* Orc Bow, War Horn


GRAND TOTAL: 500 pts

When I eventually grow the list to 750 points, I plan on adding either an Orc Shaman or Buhrdur but I'll have to get the sourcebook first.

Looks good enough, although you will have a hard time against forces with a solid stat line like Easterlings or Dwarfs.
Also what will be your hammer unit?

Tactics aren't my strong point. It usually boils down to do I scream and leap or do I scream then leap?

Anyway my main thought is that the Hunter Orcs on foot form the strong center while the Wargs come in from the flanks. The archers will act as a nuisance, peppering small enemy units with arrow fire.

I see....well I can say for sure you will be sorely pressed to deal with the likes of Galadrim Knigths or Kataprakts for that mather, but as long as you manage to at least partialy direct the batle to sway in your advantage you will do okay.

Too bad Azog isn't a model.

Well that just mean we can make our own! With moar dakka

Well, I've decided to tweak my lists a little bit in favor of saving some money. Here's my new lists, hopefully none the worse for the changes.

I plan on converting one of the plastic Hunter Orcs instead of paying $40 for the finecast Fimbul model.

As I mentioned above, I plan on adding either Buhrdȗr or an Orc Shaman (possibly on a Warg) at 750 points. Any recommendations either way? Note that I'm taking Buhrdȗr instead of a normal troll based simply on the looks of the model. Thanks.

I finally picked up the Moria & Angmar sourcebook over the weekend so I've managed to put together three 750 point lists. The first list adds a heavy hitter in the form of Buhrdûr, the second buffs the orcs by adding an orc shaman and the third buffs the fell wargs by adding Drûzhag.

Overall, I think I'm favoring the list with Buhrdûr. It gives me a heavy hitter in the force, it's a model that I really like and it's the cheapest. The list with Drûzhag I'm not really happy with for some reason and would be the one I'd most likely drop. Any thoughts?
