Loved this bat rep Lachie! Watching these latest videos is definitely making me want to push forward with a full on Rohan army

When the UrukHai force was broken, the Uruk models would still have had to take courage as they do not get their isenguard rule of only taking courage after 66% so they would have still had to take courage tests at 50%

You're thinking of heroic marches mate :) heroic moves are absolutely for setting up charges :) glad you enjoyed it though!
Glad you did this video. Was really struggling to put together a 500pt Ugluk list without 4 heroes. This has a nice balance. Grishnak with shield instead of Shagna though. Few less bows on my list though and a few mordor with spear and shield gives a bit of extra defense for those soft Mordor chaps.

Yeah definitely Grishnahk, Snaga is pretty situational!
Uruk scouts and Rohan, my two favourite factions.
Never thought of taking theodred due to not being able to get his model, have the model now so that will change. I am confused about why isenguard didn't break as that is an army rule and not a LL, have I missed something?

Great video!! Theodreds guard is awesome!! Really liked the similarities with the Battle of fords of Isen. Orc and Uruks sounds like a good combo and movement 8 is quite nice. Shooting into combat and wounding Ugluk sucks 🤣 & poor Snaga who now has a model (being late sucks). Cheers Lachie!!

Loving the videos guys will be following them all! Definitely keen to see how the legion with Eomer and Gandalf performs. Now have legit reasons to own every Rohan hero I think. Probablt would have happened anyway, lots of horses to paint after Christmas! Love how the Ugluk force works definitely tempted to build towards that as a first evil force. And I also feel the loss of +1 S on the charge will hurt but didn’t stop Rohan this game!

@@Zorpazorp Fielding a swarm of infantry is such a great way of throwing off the opponent. Do they go after the middle units of infantry, or the flanks of cavalry? I like to use them in lines, to move forward then when they hit the blob of enemies (often 4x2 spear or 4x3 pike formations) the infantry can surround the blob peeling off support units and/or attacking the middle ranks; hoping to possibly getting trapped units. At 7 or 9points per model, I can field a few more guys. I'm one of those unorthodox players. Rohan is my favourite army.

There is a bunch of different models that ocme with corpses, including the casualty pack which was released at one point but it's pretty hard to track down.
I'm pretty sure that in the magazine (the one with 80 issues that came with models, scenarios et cetera) rohan warriors were able to support with their throwing spears, was that rule changed or was the magazine incorrect?
