The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game/Tactics/The Grey Company

Legendary Legion

The Grey Company

The Grey Company Legion consists of:

• Aragorn-Strider with all upgrades except horse
• Halbarad with Banner of Arwen Evenstar upgrade
• Legolas Greenleaf with armor and elven cloak upgrades
• Gimli with elven cloak upgrade
• Elladan and Elrohir with an elven bow, cloak, and heavy armor upgrades for both
• Ranger of the North with just the spear upgrade

Any unlisted upgrade means you can't take those upgrades in order to run this legion which means no horses, and all upgrades listed are optional for those characters

Additional Rules

• A Grey Company force must have Aragorn-Strider in the army and as leader
• Regardless of the number of models you must deploy as a single warband with Aragorn being that warbands captain

Special Rules

• Passing of the Grey Company: The Rangers army bonus is retained and applied to the whole warband and the Rangers of the North also benefit from the Stand Fast! of Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Halbarad, Elladan, and Elrohir. The Rangers of the North also get the 2 attacks for being infantry.
• The Heir of Isildur: The Anduril, Flame of the West upgrade for Aragorn is free

How to Buy

• Get the Three Hunters set (with dice if possible), Elladan and Elrohir, Lords of the Dunedain, and if you want to get the old metal finecast models of the Rangers of the North, if not get the plastic rangers of middle earth kit to cut down on time and cost.

Tactics

• Essentially runs like a pure Rangers army list with just more named heroes that can pack a punch. This legion does not work well with smaller point games due to the cost of running your heroes.
• You could get rid of the named characters such as Legolas, Gimli, Elladan & Elrohir to run a pure ranger list with free Anduril. I personally don't recommend this since a major portion of your killing power is in those heroes
