At 700pts, it's certainly possible to spam a lot of guys (a mix of Orc Warriors and Morannon Orcs, probably - along with lots of 50-80pt heroes), but the double catapults does a few things for you. Bigger and stronger than their subterranean kin, these Trolls are amongst the most lethal troops in the armies of the Dark Lord.

I'll do my best to convince you that they do, in fact, have a place next time - and until then, happy hobbying! Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

Our first stop is a "Tiberius Special" for Mordor - a list that fields a ton of units that I love (some of which people think are garbage from a competitive standpoint). This usually means that, given the choice between using archery to bring down your Troll before you engage or bringing down D3-6 Orcs, your opponent is likely to avoid shooting the Trolls down and instead seek to even the numbers out. With lots of shooting, a Fell Beast, and a Drummer Troll to keep our infantry blocks moving quickly, this army is ready for all comers (though it only has 31 models .

Our final list is the most likely situation where you'll see a Mordor Troll show up - and it's in the Black Gate Opens Legendary Legion.they just can't charge at all (instead of only being prohibited from charging if they move after the March hero). But this leads to our first rule about fielding Mordor Trolls: Mordor Trolls are great at draining enemy resources, especially Might points. A similar strategy could be employed by using an Immobilize/Transfix spell caster - anyone who can cast either of these spells on a 2+ or 3+ against a model that can't resist them has the potential to stall out a good lump of points away from the action (or worse still, who is in the MIDDLE of the action but can't move and can't make Strikes if engaged). but Mordor Trolls might have the easiest time out of any Monster models of dealing with Heroic Defense. Our second stop is the Army of Gothmog LL, which I believe to be the best list for running double Mordor War Catapults - mostly because everyone else in the list is bad at killing stuff.
