Hi guys.

I've pulled together an Angmar list from my old stuff.

I don't know anything about the current game at all.

What would you add/ change to this to make a coherent force ?
What's the usual points ?

Thanks!

One quick proviso, I've not played Angmar wit the new rules. With that in mind a few points :-
1.Drop the orc captain and move the troops to other warband. The way deployment works small warband can end up isolated from the main army and taken out. remember the WK can have 18 in his war band


2. Mix up the warbands troops so that for example you have all your archers taken out

3. Under the new army bonus spirit heroes give terror to orcs within a 3" range, you have 3 so good ( Remember the witch king has affects the courage of enemies).


4. Use the points from the orc captain to get some dead marsh spectre. There speaicla rules can pul minis out of line to be placed in to danger or away from objectives. Also they have blades of the dead special rules which means they swop the courage stat for defence, normally making enemies easiler to beat.


So from what you have that should be enough to give you a viable force (ok you army will be light in might).


Going forward consider :
Cave trolls for extra punch, rending and hurling fun.
You have loaded the WK as a combat wraith, so consider loading more might.
Banner has auto vp in some senarios and a re rolls in combat

Warg riders for some cav.
Just a few pointers to make your army a bit more resiliant and harder to deal with

Cheers !

Sorry just realised I missed one quick point. Mount the WK. Makes him more potent with the charge. You could also consider fell beast, but that a lot of points. There is force multiplier for having multiple wraiths on fell beast, however the Amgmar list not my fav profiles, not sure work best with a fell beast.

Ok I'm back. Now own all the models
How's this list looking ?
