hi guys, im thinking of strating a mordor army, but dont know what to use, could you help me put together a 500pt army list
thanks! ok thats enogh orks

Hi there!

Firstly welcome to dakka

On to the list, not sure whether you intend to use legions of middle earth or the new companies system, but what I'd definitely recommend for a Mordor player is don't bother with generic Mordor orcs if you can, morrannon orcs are so much better and only cost a fraction more.

At 500 points you can probably afford a nice hero, so something like a ring wraith (for their awesome magical abilities) or a good captain.

Mordor orcs of course are rubbish in terms of courage, so getting a banner or two to help them is also definitely worth it

Hope that helps!!

Why on middle earth Mordor! Well if your mind is already made up I recomend as Celeborn said about Moraron Orks. Ring Wraiths are okay but I seldom waste points on them. I much rather have more boots on the field. Banners are a must and trolls help a lot too with combat.

I personaly field Easterlings and a Dunlending army and I always make sure to bring trolls if I have the pints to spare. But I much rather bring a warband of Kataprakts with the black Dragon upgrade if I need things killed fast and hard.
