That's a lot...

After that (which will be when? :wink: ) I would get some Cave Trolls, Bat Swarms, and some more Goblins. After that, probably either the Dragon or Balrog.

I would get things in the certain order depending on the type of army you're looking for. If you're going for mainly pure Moria, I would get Durburz, some captains, some trolls, and a drum first but if you want dwellers below I would start with some wargs (they now come in plastic sets without riders) and a chieftan + some spiders and trolls and druzag.

One of our local games recently finished up his 2000(ish) point Misty Mountain list and it's very similar to what you posted...though you'll need more Goblins. :?

Something like 18 Companies of Goblins. Just when I thought I was doing good with my 120ish Wood Elves he has to go and up me with over 140. :x

It has a lot of variety and flexibility, he's just working out some of the kinks of playing it (his other large WotR force is Dwarves and they play VERY different obviously).

well i forget to mention that i have 3 trolls :)

and im not going to get a pure moria, but a alliance btw it and dol gul-dur.

i love the goblins and i also love the beast type army. so im going to get the best of both :)



so stuff i should get (much later): 2ish more packs of goblins, balrog, probably a few more prowlers

i also have the fellowship, and a pack of uruk scouts (which i might trade for something or make a small isengard raiders army to go with my gobs/beasts)

Rather than Balrog, consider a Dragon or Cave Drake (just use the Dragon model...I'm thinking of leaving off the wings, do some minor conversion work and paint it appropriately for mine). Might be better themed than the Balrog for what you're doing and may play better.

well im going to get a balrog, thats for certain, it is one of the stand out things for lotr for me.

and i want to get a dragon (but there is already alot i want to get)
one of the things that i do really want to do is make a full beast army. in an old WD issue they showed an army of spiders, bats, wargs and a dragon - a full beast army from the forest 750pts and ever since then ive wanted to get a beast army (for many reasons like theme and punch and super speed).

The army only looks about 1500 ish so i would get some more wargs and gobbos.
