Riders of Eomer (War in Rohan): If you like all-mounted Rohan with a wizard (Gandalf the White), maybe this is for you? The core rule, as Centaur notes in this detailed break-down, is a one-time-use Shade debuff for nearby enemy models within 12" of Gandalf (-1 to their duel roll), which is good. And that's good... I'm just not sure it's better than taking Gandalf and some Knights of Minas Tirith in a historic alliance, to bolster your killing power. In the 13th century of the Third Age, the Kings of Gondor made alliances with the Northmen of Rhovanion, a people thought to be distantly descended from the Edain, those peoples of Men who crossed into Beleriand in the First Age and later settled in Númenor. The Men who would become the Rohirrim were in fact more closely akin to the Beornings and the Men of Dale, and were accounted as Middle Men, who, while not directly descended from the Men of Númenor, never served the will of Sauron. In The Two Towers, Aragorn describes the Rohirrim: Gríma: possibly from "grima" ("mask", "helmet", "ghost")or from gríma, the icelandic word for mask.

Weakness: Low Fight. This is less of an issue for your core troops (particularly your mounted Riders and Royal Guard, who can get to impressively high Fight Values if they charge within 12” of Theoden) than it is for your heroes. Rohan caps out at Fight 5 heroes: not even Eomer, who Tolkien singles-out as one of just three heroes to escape Pelennor unscathed (Aragorn and Imrahil being the others), gets to Fight 6 (which I’m not sure does him justice). And many of Rohan’s named heroes (Gamling, Hama, Elfhelm) end up capped at Fight 4 (since none of them can call Heroic Strike). The good news is that many of Rohan’s Fight 5 heroes can Strike (Theoden, Eomer, Theodred, Deorwine, Eowyn, even Merry), and with Gamling’s banner in tow, they can potentially Strike all game long. That’s great in the late-game, when your opponent has run out of Might trying to counter your own Heroic Strikes; it’s not as great in the early-game, when your Rohan Heroes will need a 5+ to get to Fight 10, while opposing heroes (elf heroes in particular) have a higher chance of getting there (and probably have elven-made weapons for the Fight 10 advantage, to boot). You can force a lot of strike-offs, but winning them is something else entirely. The Rohirrim were famous as skilled horsemen and renowned masters of horse breeding. Among the horses of the Rohirrim were the famed Mearas, the noblest and fastest horses who ever roamed Arda; Shadowfax was the greatest of all Mearas. There were very few Mearas left in Middle-earth at this point, but there were enough that a breeding population was present. The army of Rohan was almost exclusively cavalry, divided into irregular units termed éoreds, raised at need and not maintained on a standing basis. Rohan's foot-men armies were more of a very well trained militia called upon in times of war, the militia of Rohan wielded wooden shields of all sizes and used four weapons: longswords, short bows, axes, and longspears. The actual standing infantry force was relatively small with the professional career limited to the royal bodyguard of Edoras. The King's Company were those men that directly served and protected the king. This is dead on 500 points and involves buying two blisters (Mordor Orc Command and Orc Shaman on Warg, both useable in most armies with Mordor Orcs in). This is one of the cheapest expansions to the battleforce, because the Witch King (tooled up here to murder enemy heroes and break lines) is so pricy. Once she’s within 3” of it, she has to stay within 3” of it, where she gains Fearless and rerolls all failed To

So GW have basically given Middle Earth Strategy Battle Games Start Collecting boxes for four factions: Gondor, Mordor, Rohan and Isengard. These are all popular armies with plastic troops and cavalry, and new plastic character kits. GW have created boxes with a new, modern plastic character and two boxes worth of infantry or cavalry. The new starter is again, a solid buy to expand the force, featuring 3 heroes and another 24 infantry. Lurtz’s Scouts, a Legendary Legion from the Quest of the Ringbearer book, built around the 24 Uruk Hai Scouts. Similarly an Assault on Helm’s Deep Legendary Legion, which plays well at the higher points totals, would take the armoured Uruk Hai as a core. You have Eomer, Marshall of the Riddermark, 6 Riders of Rohan and 24 Warriors of Rohan. Because riders can lose their horses and get replaced by foot models, you will want to keep six of your foot models to use for this. This gives you 351 points to start.

Fréaláf's son was Brytta Léofa, a beloved king. In his time, however, Orcs fleeing the Misty Mountains after the Battle of Azanulbizar in TA 2799 began to take refuge in the foothills of the White Mountains. Brytta's son Walda reigned for just nine years before he was killed by a group of Orcs. Folca, son of Walda, was a great hunter, and took a vow upon becoming king that he would not hunt beasts again until every Orc had been driven out of Rohan. After destroying the last Orc-hold in Rohan in TA 2864, he journeyed to the Firien wood, to kill the great boar of Everholt that lived there. He slew the boar, but died of the wounds he received in the act of killing it. The reign of Folcwine, son of Folca, saw a return to prosperity for Rohan, as he subdued the West-march, and drove out the Dunlendings. In his reign, the Rohirrim finally recovered from their losses in the war against Wulf. He also came to the aid of Gondor when a great army of the Haradrim came up against the South-kingdom. Persuaded not to go to battle himself, Folcwine sent instead his twin sons, Folcred and Fastred. Although the combined armies of Rohan and Gondor won a great victory at the Battle of the Crossings of Poros on the banks of the River Poros in South Ithilien, the sons of King Folcwine fell side by side in battle. Steward Túrin II of Gondor therefore paid a rich weregild of gold to Folcwine for his sacrifice. Defense 6, and Courage 3 (which makes up for their Bodyguard), with an option for a horse (that pushes them just 1 Gandalf is an incredibly expensive hero in a 500 point game, but he brings a lot to the table. This is a cheap expansion again, as it is the Command blister again and it still leaves you with the Knight of the White Tower and Hornblower, which with the remaining infantry would take you over 700 points.

In the year TA 2509, Eorl received summons from Cirion, Steward of Gondor. The Steward pleaded for help from Gondor's old allies; as a large army of Easterling Balchoth had invaded the province of Calenardhon and threatened to overrun it. Eorl surprised even the errand-rider of Gondor by agreeing to come to the aid of Cirion. Though young, Eorl wisely perceived that if Gondor should fall, all the lesser realms of men west of Anduin would eventually fall. He gathered all the Men of the Éothéod that could possibly be spared, some 7000, and, leaving his land at risk of invasion itself, rode south to the aid of Gondor. Despite a prejudice against the Elves that would continue up until the time of the War of the Ring, a protective mist seemed to come out of Lothlórien as the Éothéod journeyed south, rejuvenating horse and rider and shielding their approach from their enemies. Believing that there would be no time for the Éothéod to help his armies, Cirion nonetheless met them in battle on the Field of Celebrant, though Gondor's legions were worsted. All hope seemed lost when an army of Orcs came upon the flank of the army of Gondor, but at that moment Eorl and his cavalry thundered out of the north unlooked for and, smashing into the rear of the Balchoth, completely reversed the fortunes of battle. Gondor's army was saved, and the riders of the Éothéod drove the Balchoth into the Anduin. to-wound penalty) which is really not great. To compensate, he has Mighty Blow which, if you read Tiberius’s

Cirion committed the guardianship of Calenardhon to Eorl and his men for three months, during which time the Steward took counsel to determine what reward he could present to the Éothéod for their heroic arrival on the Field of Celebrant. At the end of the three months, he rode north with his son Hallas and his counsellors, and led Eorl and some of his guard to the hidden tomb of Elendil upon Amon Anwar (Hill of Awe), which was later renamed Halifirien (the Holy Mountain) in Rohanese. Cirion realised that the Éothéod as a people needed more room to flourish, and that they would make for a strong ally to Gondor against the growing threat of Sauron and the continued harassment of the Easterlings. Therefore, upon Amon Anwar he told Eorl that in reward for their aid in battle, he would grant the land of Calenardhon to the Éothéod to dwell in. Eorl was so impressed and grateful for Cirion's gift that he swore to the Steward the Oath of Eorl; of everlasting friendship to Gondor, and aid to the South-kingdom in war. Eorl thus became the first King of Rohan, and his army sent north for their wives and kin. Coming into the land of Calenardhon the Éothéod were named anew the Rohirrim in Gondor, and named their new realm the Mark of the Riders, and themselves the Eorlingas.

Isengard have a number of Legendary Legions that play well at 5/600 points, with Ugluk’s Scouts being a prime example. The Uruk Hai Scouts in the Battle Host can form a solid core for this. If you're looking at Minas Tirith, it's hard to go wrong with either Gandalf or Boromir. If you think you'll run into issues with magic, Gandalf is safer for sure (Fortify Spirit is a fantastic way to help your heroes shrug off spells way longer than they'd normally have any right to do), and he's decent in combat. I do think he's more multi-dimensional than Boromir is, although it's hard to argue against Fight 5 troops to help out your Fight 4/5 Rohan Cavalry (if you have Théoden). If you're trying to figure out which of them to take, I'll refer you to Tiberius' multi-part write up that compares them both, with a recommendation that you look to the comments as well for the pro-Boromir portion of the argument (https://tellmeatalegreatorsmall.blogspot.com/2019/04/magic-in-mesbg-part-ii-b-responding-to.html).
