Help, I need tactics against a 1000 point, all mounted Gondor force. The heroes are Aragorn the King, An captain with heavy armour, and the rest are Knights of Gondor. about 50 or so. Anyway, could you please help me. I will be facing it with a custom made, Mordor force of 1000 points, but the tactics are for what I should field in the force to beat the Gondor force. I have about everything you can field in a Mordor force, although I rarely use it fully. Thanks, Mardat.

try to use a nice mix of captains and use their might so you can get the charge before they do (that would be one big, scary cavalry charge)

and don't hesistate to use a lot of archers..

You should consider getting some heavily armoured troops supported so that when in combat it will be 2 attacks vs 2 that way you counter the cavalry bonus. Furthermore if they are Mordor Uruk-Hai you will have higher F value and can put up a good fight against the cavs. If you are gonna get archers get Trackers.

Where is everyone?

Gothmog: old Gimpy orc is usefull,keep im behind but when the lines of Evil Crash threw the lines of good bring him out....He should have a Warg A sheild for best use. With Gothmog on a warg if he Charges he can attack 4 times which is great and he can do much Damage to armes, but if you play against someone who like his Heroic actions Gotmog can counter that with Master of Battle but u must be within 6inches of hero or Captian that is calling it.


Catapults VS Apollo: He has 4 Bolt Throwers and 1 Treb well 2 Catapults should take care of him but they must each have a troll and Engineer Captain.... With 4 shots a turn in total Apollos Seige will not last. ( look at your seige of Gondor book about any of the Upgrades I said)

i dunno if we should do that...thats 490pts....and we'd probably want extra orc engineers....so we'd spend another 5pts on each of them

i dont think we have to worry about him though because he doesnt have the rulebook....and even if he gets 1...it'll take him a while to fully understand the rules....but i will agree that trebuchets and bolt throwers are a pain in the ass....if he fields them all he will have very few modles left....so all we have to do is max out on archers and we can kill all of his crew

:P

In ordor for them to be effective, they have to have an army to back them up, try it yourself right now, 5 or 6 of any basic unit, and the troll will be surrounded and die :P

What you awnt is to send him in with an orc captain to make sure he wins the fight, or atleast about 6 elites like Morannon orcs to make sure he doesn't get surrounded...

Try to flank your enemy with him, or make a gap in his line that you can exploit to get behind and surround him :P

If you use the troll to make a gap, and then he dies when the gap is made, it should be all right and you will still be on the top of the game. Don't depend on him, but on the dozens of crappy dwarves you've got outnumbering his troops.

I think that about covers it...

:P

khamul is essentially a Ringwraith, but he is slightly better in combat.

Don't always use his will to boost your attack, because trust me it will run out fast. He isn't all that great on his own so he will need models that charge in with him. Use transfix and then charge the enemy when you are on a horse. (in this case you wont need help from other models)

I would never boost my fv or S with him, because the # of attacks is more important. Also don't cast a spell every turn because he will never be able to cope with all of te lost will.

Also save his might to use on his own rolls, not heroic actions. His fate should always work so long as he has a bit of will left, so use one fate at a time :P

I haven't even tested him yet Kirbs, so all of those things are theory.

:P
