I am going to be adding some black numenereon infantry and morgul knights to my force. Mainly because I love how they look. How have these guys played out on the table?

Haven't played yet with new edition but they generally did well!

I've played a single game with them but i had them get bogged down behind my lines (poor planning on my behalf) so i haven't had the chance to actually throw them at an enemy.

In the two games I've played ever they did ok.

First game vs Gondor when I managed to actually win combat they would destroy, when they lost generally they had good staying power. It was a small points game though so they were able to throw more bodies and have spear support, combined with my opponent not being able to fail a Terror Check, I got obliterated.

Second game vs Rohan, I was again out numbered ( total I have 13 models, 12 Knights and the Witch-King on Fellbeast). They had good staying power for the most part, except when my friend got priority and rolled super hot in the first round and removed 4 of the Knights with shooting. The Knights did damage, but again numbers (and my dice hating me) just rolled them off the table.

I am planning on a unit of six probably led by a dark marshall on horse. The rest of my force will include a nazgul of some kind, some black numenereon foot and the rest cheap orc warriors to take advantage of the mordor special rule about outnumbering.

Picked up some Morgul knights today. Look cool and will be super fast to paint. I'll post results of performance here later.

Should work fairly well. The issue I will run into that you wont, is that I'm not the biggest fan of Orcs or Urks so, I probably wont ever get the bonus until I break down and get some. For your foot Black Numenors are you gonna get the Metals? I traded a friend for some Dark Elf Bleakswords to see if they will work for Black Numenoreans and/or Morgul Knights if their mounts get killed.

I have a bunch of the finecast ones.
