WotR: Battlehost - Gothmog's Morannon Orcs





The Age of Men is over...  ...The Time of the Orc has come."

                                                              Gothmog, The Return of the King, The Lord of the Rings

Gothmog, Castellan of Minuas Morgul - Lieutenant of Mordor

WotR: Gothmog - Morannon Orc 
Gothmog is the castellan of Minas Morgul and one of the trusted servants at the command of the Nazgul. 

In battle Gothmog is fearless and is a very dangerous leader and commander.

Unless guided by some other will, it is the way of the orc to press home the attack until either the enemy is destroyed or their own fragile courage fails them.



WotR: Gothmog - Morannon Orc 
Such a tactic is not Gothmog's way.  He is the master of the battlefield and a truly skilled tactician

Gothmog is successful beyond all doubt, for it is the forces under his command that have cost GOndor's armies out of many strongholds along the Anduin.

Gothmog's Morannon Orcs 
A new strain of orc has appeared within the armies of Mordor, stronger and more resilient than other orcs of their kind - the Morannon Orcs.

When coupled with their superior weaponary and armour they form ideal shock troops for Sauron's attack against Minas Tirith.  The Morannon orcs answer directly to Gothmog, a veteran warrior whose mishappen , mangled and scared limbs testify to the life of brutal warfare.

Under the command of Gothmog the Morannon orcs have found many bloody and fierce battles, now they are paused and ready to lay siege to Osgiliath and then to destroy Minas Tirith and end the time of men.

Here is my Morranon Orc Battlehost "Gothmog's Morranon Orc's" ready to lay waste to the last bastion of men, the walls of Minas Tirith...

A new addition to my Osgilaith siege army is a mordor battering ram crewed by hardy and reliable Morannon orcs.

We are about to start playing LOTR SBG - both skirmish battles and walk through the books/films each Monday night and WotR on club nights.

We welcome anyone interested in playing Lotr SBG, WotR or any warhammer/40K battle - why not let us know so that we can arrange some starter battles, like the one above, or if you/your club want to challenge us. We have all the LOTR SBG figures and LOTR scenery from the Mines of Moria to the siege of Helms Deep ready and waiting.
