    Default mordor heroes

    for future pachts or versions,heroes for the campaign and battle map.

    The Witch-king is the greatest and most feared of the Nazgul. Immeasurably ancient, and a sorcerer of prodigious power, the Witch-king draws his power from the limitless will of Sauron. The Witch-king is both a deadly strategist and sorcerer, his cloaked and armoured form a terror to all who behold it, and his presence upon the battlefield a horror that few can hope to withstand.



    Where the other Nazgul were slowly swallowed by the taint of their rings, the Tainted gave himself wholly and willingly to Sauron. Now all natural things rebel in his presence, vegetation withers, animals sicken and bold warriors cower. He is an abomination whose merest presence is poison to life, honour and hope.




    The Undying has endured long where others have fallen. He is said to be the oldest of the Ringwraiths, and the last to succumb to the wasting influences of the Rings of Power. Through an obsessive mastery of evil magics, the Undying has learnt to draw sustenance from the magics of others, fortifying himself with the magical energy that flows around him.


    The Shadow Lord was once the king of a small and insignificant kingdom. When Sauron offered him one of the Nine Rings, the promise of its power proved irresistible. Now, his physical being all but gone, and his will enslaved to Sauron, the Shadow Lord wears his dark pride like a cloak, blotting the sun from the sky and dimming the sight of his foes



    In the centuries since the Dark Marshal and his fellow kings became Ringwraiths, he has become even more sadistic and malicious. The most black-hearted and unrelentingly cruel of all the Nazgul, his name is a byword for misery and death. Where the Dark Marshal passes, Evil creatures fight harder, fearful of their lives whilst Good warriors feel the icy touch of death upon their hearts



    Like all of the Nazgūl, the Knight of Umbar's past is shrouded in mystery. If the rumours pertaining to him hold any truth, he was once one of the great Nśmenórean kings who ruled the Southlands prior to the days of the Last Alliance




    Cursed long ago for yielding the Southlands to Sauron's rule, the Betrayer is driven by malice and self-hatred that knows no bounds. Of all the Nazgūl, the Betrayer is amongst the lowest of Sauron's lieutenants, for even the Dark Lord is leery of placing faith in one who betrayed his kin so readily.



    Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, Khamul is second amongst the Ringwraiths, a dark terror clad in an impenetrable shroud of cloth and armour. The knowledge of how he came into the service of The Lord of The Rings has long been lost, though a few of the Wise believe that he once ruled a land beyond Mordor's eastern boundaries. A weaker sorcerer than the other nine, Khamul's great strength lies in his ability to draw strength from the death of others: excelling in combat.



    Gothmog is the castellan of Minas Morgul and bears the wounds and disfigurement of a seasoned warrior, his misshapen scars and mangled limbs testifying to a life of brutal and bloody combats. That Gothmog is the master of the battlefield and a skilled tactician is beyond all doubt, for it is the forces under his command that have cast Gondor's armies out of their strongholds



    Orc Shamans are a peculiar breed who practice a primitive and brutish form of sorcery. The Wise believe Kārdush of Barad-dūr to have been schooled in more learned sorceries by one of the Nazgūl - doubtless for the Ringwraith's own twisted ends, though the Orc surely remains ignorant of it.

    Nazguls/Witch King are already in the game...
    And about Gothmog, you are right, i would also like to see him in Third Age
    About the others I am not 100% sure (since I am also not very well acquainted with the lor )

    I'm pretty sure orcs using magic is some hogwash made up by Games workshop to create diversity in the TT game but as far I know It's only the Istari and the Elves who are capable of doing magic. Would be real nice to see unique nazguls though

    Default Re: mordor heroes

    in the wokshop have many units that are good as new units types for all factions of third age mod with the lord of the ring style.
    for example:

    Black Guard of Barad-Dūr
    The Black Guard of Barad-dūr are considered the most fearsome of all the Orc breeds to march in Sauron's armies. Not only are the warriors of the Black Guard stronger than ordinary Uruk-hai, they are led by Captains whose loyalty to Sauron renders them almost insensate to fear.






    Morgul Knights
    Morgul Knights are the embodiment of all the cruelty and malice in Mordor. They are the elite of Sauron's armies, cruel and silent warriors astride dark steeds who wield wicked lances with fearsome skill. Each Morgul Knight is touched by a portion of Sauron's malice, and only the noblest of beings can summon courage enough to stand against them in battle





    Castellans of Dol Guldur
    Nameless and with no will of their own, the Castellans of Dol Guldur are but one facet of that cursed tower's sleepless malice. Formless, save for the armour thast binds them, they stalk the paths about Dol Guldur, slaying those they find

    Some of them could, Galadriel for example, last time I checked, Horses appearing out of water and farsight were magic

    And Anibal, the problem with your unit isnt magic, but rather there is no lore basis for them, they were made up by Games Workshop and doesn't exist in the LOTR universe, hope i cleared things up a bit for you

    OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD!

    THE MISERY! THE LORE RAPE! OH MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THY SOUL!

    Those named Nazgul, those orc wizards and such stuff is made up by Games Workshop. And even if you`d convince the team to add such magicans, the game engine still coulnd`t handle such stuff.

    Games Workshop alters the lore as it suits them. Compared to this stuff, the movies are the pinnacle of lore accurateness.

    They're a remnant of Sgawara's unit submod, they can only be recruited in Barad-dur and they look pretty much like the GW unit. Not sure what you mean by "where" so hopefully this covers it.

    RC/RR is a submod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=259833 Apart from the Black Guards it also has some AoR Dol Amroth units (in addition to the Knights), men-at-arms, pikemen and archers.

    Yes it has. A few for Gondor and Mordor. You can find it here.
    And I don't think that Gothmog is a Half-troll. I always imagined him as an uruc or an orc.

    yea the units look ok for his mod but the vanilla units look alot better i think so i guess I have wait for kk to make some AOR unit for mordor

    It's not even known what Gothmog is but he might make a good hero. He could have an Uruk bodyguard or in RC/RR's case a Black Guard bodyguard. I guess he could wear an "evil mask" (tm) to cover his true race/origin. Just no fireballs plz.

    That's the thing, we don't know what Gothmog is - he could be an Orc or an evil Man (or even a Nazgūl, why not?). He's definitely not an Olog-hai (even Olog-hai aren't intelligent enough to command armies), nor a half-troll...

    The original Gothmog, though, was a Balrog.
