So all my suggestions are just for competitive play and don't really take fluff in to much consideration. And I just want to say I really like where how this army is looking, seems like a lot of fun.

    About Raiders, I think the problem (because I have seen this also at times) is not with the unit but with how they are being played. People seem to use them just like they use other heavy cav, which they are most certainly not. People often fail to go for flanks with them, and I have never seen people keep them in reinforcement which is a tactic I think is very good but under used.

    I don't really think the Morgul Knights being only 4 companies is a super big deal. It kind of sucks but and if it was a drop from say 6-7 to 4 I would say thats a problem, but 4 is a pretty good number, and it would give unit a banner (which I think is really important for cav, or any assault unit really). Over all I think this unit would be more effective and powerful then the Easterling Kataphrakts, but it is in the end a matter of taste.

    Suladan is pretty awesome.


    Yea I cant wait til its finished im hoping for a few months after Christmas for completion but I never know with myself. Its hard to inspire myself to paint.


    Yea I guess so. I may consider Raiders if I go to 2500pts later but im not even going to consider that expansion until much later.


    Yea I think I might take 4 companies of Morgul Knights with Banner Bearer instead of 5 companies of Easterling Kataphrakts. It would be a better retinue for my Ringwraith wouldn't it?



    Also while on that topic what is your thoughts on The Betrayer? Also what would you consider to be the BEST Ringwraith both fluffwise and rulewise?

    I think that you should take Khamul. He is incredible. I put him on my mumak and its almost untouchable. I was playing elves a while ago and legolas used his epic shot on my mumak. he rolled 5, then i redirected those onto a nearby ent, killing it. I can honestly say that I think that Khamul is probably the best ringwraith to use.

    As an afterthought, if ur goin to 2500 points i suggest making ur mumak even more unkillable and putting the shadow lord on it. Ur mumak would be hiddin, deflect most attacks and well, its a mumak. strongest thing we have in fallen realms. once you get in close, your opponent won't be able to kill you (especially since most of his attacks are flying back at him). If you want to make him even better in close combat (extremely hard to do btw). try putting Amdur on top of him and when hes in close combat with a large block of troops, use epic rampage (ive never used amdur, its just a thought that popped into my head)

    idk about fluff. i don't know much fluff about any of the ringwraiths. Only one that I know is SURPRISE Khamul. I know he is the lieutenant of dol guldur, and that he is ranked second amongst ringwraiths but I just took that off the games workshop site
