C&C wanted

Edit: Added Shield and removed bow

Looks ok, I think that the only thng is that you aren't allowed to give more than 33% of your army bows (IIRC), and you are currently using 9 bows out of 26 models. So you either need to drop a bow, or get another model without a bow.

Hope this Helps!

Looks about as solid as you'll get, odd limit though pal

Would Wild Wargs be a good addition to the force? I like the models but I wonder if Warg Riders would be better.

They would be a good cheap cavelry unit.

I would get more dudes with spears. 3 is kinda odd. and your point limit is odd too.

If you are going to run Easterling Spearmen you want to take advantage of them counting as pikes. 3 spears behind 13 swordsmen is going to be really funky.


the skirmish game works really well when you actually apply actual military formations. My Uruk-hai form a Phalanx as detailed below.

S=sword and shield
P=Pike
B=banner

S S S S S S S
S P P P P P S
S P P P P P S
S P P B P P S

extra sword and shield Uruks bring up the rear and either replace losses or run interference on the flanks.

You can do the same thing with Easterlings(with the added advantage that your pikes benifit from their shields)

The difficulty is getting the spears, you only get four with a box so I'll 'ave to convert some.

IMHO, Bows are overrated build a phalanx with a banner behind the wall

I've converted several more Pikes, meaning once I've bought another box I'll have nine along with eight more warriors. I planned to have 19 Easterling Warriors behind nine Pikes with a banner in the middle and a Captain at the front, maybe some Warg Riders or Morgul Knights.
