De Bellis Fictionalis - Tolkien Army Lists

Introduction.
These army lists allow reconstructions of battles from JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth using De Bellis (Fi)itionalis wargame rules for fantasy battle.
This booklet assumes players have a copy of and a working knowledge of the DBFi rules which are keyed to DBM v2.1.
Tolkien's world is rich with cultures and races in conflict, however, Professor Tolkien described himself as seeing the detail of his world dimly
against the broad sweep of the unfolding drama, this has made the task of a lists writer difficult. Soldiers’ weapons and formations tend to have
a certain sameness to them, the desire to emphasise differences between armies had to be kept in check to avoid creating differences where they
were not intended.
Armies have been given a range of options for individual troop types, in many cases this is to allow players their own choice of interpretations.
Foot armed with spears or swords are usually given the option to be Blade or Spear. The lack of descriptions of fighting techniques has made
classifications, especially for foot and naval, often quite arbitrary. The two grades of Balrogs represent differing accounts of their numbers and
power, the Unfinished Tales discusses this point in more detail while Morgoth’s Ring mentions Boldogs, lesser spirits of evil.
I have not included vast quantities of “evidence” to back up various troop classifications as such evidence could easily treble the length of this
document and still not convince some people of the final choice. If you and your opponent don’t agree with something, change it to something
you can both live with. As a general guide I have taken Tolkien’s comment in the Letters of JRR Tolkien where he describes Middleearth
soldiers as looking more or less like the depiction on the Bayeux Tapestry.
These lists are designed to cater for armies of between 300-500 APs, however many of the lists will extend to much larger forces. Lists are
divided into main armies which often have sub-lists of allies or options. Where options are noted they may appear as new troops to add to the
main list or specify a new or additional set of conditions for organising the main list.
Representational Scales.
Many of Tolkien’s armies, especially the good forces, seem quite small by our historical standards, however the lower end of the troop scale in
DBM, where one element represents 128 men, should cater for these. A 375AP army representing the Rohan at the Battle of Pelennor Fields
works out at about 230 men per element.
Dragons, Demons and other monsters represent as few as one actual beast, otherwise count them on the same troop scale as elephants.
Time and ground scale need not be altered for Middle-earth, players with armies originating before the first sunrise can agree to fight under the
stars and ignore time-of-day influences. The changing of the world from flat to round after the fall of Numenor seemed to have no affect on
weather which can be treated as the same as earth.
ALLIES
Allies are specified by reference to their own list. Each such allied contingent must include a single general and two baggage elements. The
general's type can be that of the allied list's specified C-in-C or other general. Unless stated in a particular list, the allied contingent can include
only compulsory troop types, and must have at least a quarter of the minimum for each such type. It cannot include more than a third of the
specified maximum number of each type, or one element, whichever is greater.
In some cases the maximum total number of elements that can be included in the allied contingent, including the general and two baggage
elements is specified.
Treachery.
An unreliable Elf, Huorn, Ent or Hobbit Ally-general will not change sides and join an army with any elements of Orcs, Wolves, Trolls, Uruk-
hai, Balrogs, dragons, spiders, mûmakil or Khamûl the Black Easterling. An Orc, Troll, Uruk-hai, Balrog, dragon, spider, mûmakil-mounted,
Nazgûl, Wolf or Wolf rider, ally-general or Khamûl will not change sides and fight for an army including any elements of Elves, Ents, Edain-
Dunedain or Hobbits.
Naval and aerial.

Naval and airboat elements must be provided with a disembarking element as listed, the cost quoted is for the naval or airboat only - the crew
element (if listed) must still be paid for.
Terrain.
Terrain types listed in bold type are compulsory for defending armies - some armies such as Dwarves and eagles may also provide a Mountain
Range, which counts as impassable, and is otherwise positioned as if a WW.
Terrain types are:
•Waterways WW
•Rivers Rv
1
•Hills with some or all slopes steep H(S)
•Hills or rises with gentle slopes H(G)
•Woods Wd
•Orchards or Palm groves O
•Vines V
•Enclosed fields E
•Rough going, such as brush or bog Rgo
•Marsh M
•Sand Dunes D
•Roads Rd
•Built-up areas, villages BUA
•Mountain ranges Mra
Baggage.
Players are reminded that an entirely waterborne, airborne, lurker, single-element or sneaker command need not have baggage.
Multi-command armies.
Players wishing to use a fifth or sixth command, as a single-element command, can choose to create one by providing an extra element of the
type of any home-nation general listed, however, items which are intended to be unique can be provided only once. Items underlined in the
body of a list can be upgraded into the general of a single-element command.
Competition play.
Armies with optional climatic regions must choose one for the entire competition.
Races.
Players not familiar with Middle-earth should note that Hithlum, Doriath, Gondolin, Noldor and Sindar are all Elvish armies, and Naugrim are
Dwarves.
Fortifications
Only those armies specified as having TF can use them in the way described - other PF and TF use is linked to the DBFi terrain system.

This list covers the early Elven armies not related to the house of Fëanor or Thingol of Menegroth. The Teleri are the unfortunate ones defeated
by Fëanor at the Kinslaying of Alqualondië, they fought mostly with slender bows, early Elves "possessed only weapons of the chase, spears and
bows and arrows". Teleri may not use LH. The Laiquendi (Green Elves) of Ossiriand were similarly lightly armed and were mauled by Orcs at
the First Battle of Beleriand. This list can also cover "Grey Elves" such as Círdan's people and Moriquendi (Dark Elves) during their first
contacts with Morgoth's Orcs. The Lost Road mentions Elwë lord of the Teleri with long white hair and lists Elven races as; "Lindar, Spear-
elves... the White, Noldor...Golden ...Sword-elves, Teleri...Arrow-elves...Blue Elves, Danas... Green Elves". Morgoth’s Ring has the Elven
types as; Vanya, Spear-elves, the White; Noldor, Sword-elves, the Golden; Teleri, Arrowelves, the Blue elves; Nandor, Axe-elves, Green elves
and the Brown. Tolkien's painting of a Telerin swan-ship has a white sail emblazoned with a red-centred sun with yellow rays. Morgoth’s Ring
once mentions ships actually drawn by strong-winged swans - the ships where white and had gold beaks and eyes of gold and jet.

Swarthy Men allies - List 1:9 Easterlings and Swarthy Men
Orc allies - List 1:4 First Battle Morgoth
This list covers the Dwarves of Middle-earth either at Moria or in Beleriand. Regular Dwarves must be commanded by a regular general. Bd
(D) are based on the Dwarves of Azaghâl Lord of the Longbeards of Belegost with their hideous battle masks, such troops were proofed against
fire. The Peoples of Middleearth lists the seven Dwarf kindreds as Longbeards; Firebeards, Broadbeams, Ironfists, Stiffbeards, Blacklocks and
Stonefoots. Dwarves usually prefer an axe but could also use a sword or mattock. The Silmarillion gives little detail on Dwarves, much of this
list is conjectural and is based on weapons hoards and later trends. Petty Dwarves can use no regulars, no Bd (S) or Bd (D). Bd (D) may not be
used with a magic user. Petty Dwarves can be allied contingents only for other Petty Dwarves.

Thingol of Doriath made early contact with the Dwarves who manufacture arms and armour for him, Elvish blades may use a sword or an axe.
Dwarves are described as axe-wielding, but they also make swords and spears, Dwarves should wear mail as they are mentioned as having
invented it - at least one ally contingent must be used.

Melko’s monsters of horn and ivory - Irr Beasts (S) @ 7AP 0-3
This list covers the Orcs at the First Battle of Beleriand, there is little information to base the list on except the Orcs’ armourment description.
Masses of Orcs led by generals in a determined advance could be quite dangerous for contemporary opponents - providing you can protect your
flanks and keep the pressure on enemy light troops. Morgoth’s Ring describes him perverting beasts and spirits, the types of beasts are not
further described but other monsters of horn and ivory are mentioned. Phantoms can be doubles of loved ones sent by Melkor or Sauron to
spread lies and disharmony.
1:5 WOLVES

Giant Wolves - Irr Kn (F) @ 9AP or all Irr Beasts (S) @ 7AP 0-4
Wolves - Irr LH (I) @ 3AP or all Irr Beasts (O) @ 5AP 50-180
Packs of Wolves and other evil creatures were a menace to Dwarves Men and Elves even before the first sunrise, what the "other" creatures
might be is a mystery. Giant Wolves are based on Sauron’s troops which assail Huan singly at the Isle of the Werewolves. The Lost Road has
Morgoth making "many monsters of divers kinds and shapes that long troubled the world". The Peoples of Middle-earth records the migrating
Edain fighting the vile things that Morgoth had populated the world with.
1:6 FINGON PRINCE OF HITHLUM - 75-300.

Later Noldor allies - List 1:14 Later Noldor
The cavalry force with which Fingon attacks Glaurung may not have been army size as represented here, however, later related armies were
noted for their use of massed cavalry. Regular troops must be commanded by a regular general. Later Noldor allies can be Círdan and all his
naval, The War of The Jewels mentions Círdan's army arriving to aid Fingon and falling on the flanks of Morgoth’s Orcs. The broken Orcs are
pursued by horsed archers.

Laiquendi (or Grey Elf) allies - List 1:1 Teleri, Laiquendi, Early Grey Elves or Dark Elves.
Edain allies - List 1:8 Three Houses of Edain.
The great Elf kingdom of Doriath, founded by Thingol, was protected by the Girdle of Melian - a magical force woven by her to confound
enemies. More tangible defence came in the form of the famous border troops, the marchwardens of the heroic Beleg Strongbow. Edain
represent the combined forces of Beleg and Halmir Lord of Haladin. Laiquendi could be commanded by Beren One-hand as in the conflict with
the Dwarves. Thingol was initially on good terms with the Dwarves until their lust for treasure got the better of them and they decided to kill the
king. The Doriath blades typically use an axe. No army can use both Cv and Kn.

Spearmen are based upon the Edain forming a ring of spears around King Fingon at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. Edain cavalry are once
noted carrying a gold-coloured standard. The Lost Road describes the House of Hador as "yellow-haired and blue-eyed for the most part".
Beor's people as "greater strength and stature in body than elves...and dark or brown of hair, their eyes were grey". Haleth's folk, like Beor's, but
not so tall, their "backs broader and their legs shorter and less swift". Haleth can use only 0-6 Cv or Kn, including generals, no Sp or Bd and no
regulars may be used. Haleth is the warrior queen of the second house of Edain, women were accustomed to fighting, especially in times of
great need. The Unfinished Tales mentions Haleth's bodyguard and other women soldiers. She uses a stockade to blunt the Orc assault at
Thargelion. If Haleth's foot are upgraded to Irr Ax (S) no Wb or Kn Amazons may be used but women warriors should still be included - this
option is based on The Peoples of Middle-earth's description of them as being excellent specialist forest fighters. The Drûg are the mysterious
Drúedain associated with the Haladin. Drûgs' uncompromising attitude to Orcs, (they use poisoned arrows only on Orcs) expert woodcraft skills
and occasional shamanistic powers make them candidates for Wb. Count the Drûg general as a sub-general for unreliability.

Orc allies - List 1:4 First Battle Morgoth
There is virtually no information to base this list on, it is included for the important part played by Ulfang the Black, Uldor the Accursed and
related people in their fight for and against Morgoth. They are described as "short and broad, long and strong in the arm; their hair was black
and grew much also upon their face and breast; their skins were swart and sallow, and their eyes brown". The description of the "tribes and
battalions of the Easterlings" at the Fifth Battle suggests standing forces represented by the optional regulars.

Ents' activities are given passing reference in The Silmarillion, they aid the Laiquendi and Doriath Elves in their quest to retrieve the Silmaril of
Beren from the Dwarves. The Green Elves and Ents may have cooperated more often, in larger alliances it is assumed the Elves would be the
senior partner, in which case use the Later Laiquendi list 1:23.

Eagle allies - List 1:21 Eagles 0-4
The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales give information about Turgon's force, but the Fall of Gondolin is a more detailed (and inspirational)
account. This army list is based on the Fall of Gondolin; however, it should not contradict the other two versions. The Unfinished Tales
suggests the army deployed before Tuor was based on seven units guarding the gates. The Fifth Gate Archers in white robes and Sindar, as
mentioned in the Unfinished Tales, have no close parallel in the Fall of Gondolin account unless they are the Tower of Snow. The Battalion of
the Rainbow and the Heavenly Arch are probably one and the same. The Fall of Gondolin has the Heart of Finwë as the King's banner while the
Unfinished Tales has the blue and silver banner of Fingolfin as his standard. Gondolin armourers produce bills and spears; their hauberks,
byrnies, greaves and vambraces may qualify troops as Bd (S). The Hammers use a long-handled hammer as carried by their leader, Rog. The
Moles use an axe, “two-headed like a mattock,” the Trees use an iron-studded club in addition to their slings, the rest are swords. Turgon's army
at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears is described with "long swords and spears like a forest", and the King's Guard as a "phalanx", hence the Sp
(S) option. Cavalry are assumed for the Unfinished Tales version of the army. No army can have both Cv and Kn. A general depicted as a
battalion type counts against the maximum and minimum for that battalion. Hd may not be used with Art or Eagles.

This list includes the outlaws of Dorthonion and similar groups of dispossessed men, often led by charismatic figures such as Túrin, they were
not without success. Barahir's wife armed women and children - a few individual Elves (and Dwarves ?) can be mixed into the ranks. The Bd
(D) option for one general represents Túrin Turambar, "Mormegil'" (the black sword) with his dragon helm. The Lost Road describes the dragon
helm of Gumlin, wrought by Telchar the dwarf smith of Belegost, as, "grey steel adorned with gold...(with)...runes of victory...upon this helm
was set in mockery an image of the head of Glomund the dragon...towering above the heads of Men in battle". No army can have both Hd (O)
and Hd (S). The War of The Jewels mentions the Brethil Woodmen and the Taiglin guards most of whom were archers.

Fëanor or the sons of Fëanor will bring out their uncompromising attitude to enemies opposing their oath to retrieve the Silmarils. Fëanor’s
shields were emblazoned with silver, gold and gems. If any Wb are used, the C-in-C and all sub-generals must also be Wb, remaining generals
not commanding Wb must be allies. Regular troops must be commanded by regular generals.

provide a general, in which case their troops are commanded by the Cin-C. Not all allies are compulsory, representing different phases or
locations of the six-day fight. Only the Swarthy Men count as foreign allies for treachery. A second Later Noldor contingent can count as a

The Orc army of the Third Battle was thrashed by the Noldor, after this defeat Morgoth realised unaided Orcs were no match for the combined
Noldor princes. Orc archers must be outnumbered by 2:1 or greater by other Orcs. It should be a matter of pride for players of Orc armies to
include as many different figures as possible in their legions, many of the oversized and disproportioned 15mm ancients figures produced by
some manufactures make excellent 25mm Orcs. Glaurung rises 200 years after the Third Battle; the opportunity for Morgoth to support him
with an Orc army before the walls of Angband was always a possibility and has been included here. The War of Jewels has Glaurung leading an
Orc army to sack Nargothrond - he then expels the Orcs to keep the loot for himself - also mentioned are Orc robber bands in the woods catching
stray elves.

Orc archers must be outnumbered by 2:1 or greater by other Orcs. Players of campaigns will have to devise their own rules governing rivers of
flame and deadly fumes that precede Morgoth’s army. Wolf allies are not allowed. The timely arrival of Balrogs will create breaks in the
enemy line for your other troops to exploit - in which case full use of light troops should be made to buy time before the Balrogs arrive.

This list is included to represent Morgoth's forces during the last part of the War of Wrath. Morgoth releases the Urulóki (flying dragons) to
assault the hosts of the Valar, the dragons are in turn attacked by Eärendil and Thorondor. This army has Morgoth at the peak of his strength,
his large and powerful army proved irresistible. Players must chose either Gothmog or Glaurung as supreme commander. A Wolf or Wolf rider
Sub-general must command some Wolves or Wolf riders. Gothmog’s guard is allowed only if Gothmog is present and they must be in his
command. During the assault on Gondolin no Demons (S) may be used and no Wolves without riders may be used and only 0-4 Wolf elements
with riders may be used. Gothmog must be C-in-C. Dragons as WWg are machine-like and have their bellies full of orcs - who disgorge
through doors. The Unfinished Tales mentions Orc arsonists with brimstone which was "quickly inflamed and not quenched with water".

This list covers the eagles of Thorondor and others as they appear in the first age, classifying them has been difficult given the lack of battle
descriptions. The Lost Road describes Thorondor with a beak of gold and 30-fathom wingspan - hence the optional Dragon classification for the
C-in-C. This list is included an option for the battle between dragons and the "great birds of heaven" at the end of the War of Wrath. Vingilot
with Eärendil aboard is costed as, and fights as, an Airboat (S) and causes daylight within 600p.

giant bat is Thuringwethil. A Giant wolf sub-general can represent Draugluin, sire of the Werewolves. Sauron* if given magic ability can
perform the spell of lycanthropy to change between a Irr Flyer (S) Bat, Irr Kn (F) giant wolf, Irr Beast (S) giant wolf, Irr LH (O) Wolf rider or
Irr Dragon (I) serpent. The War of the Jewels mentions Morgoth's, smiths, miners, masters of fire, they brought with them and set up great
14
engines to assault forts at Brithon and Nenning and Cirdan's tower of Ingildon. Orcs specially trained for forest warfare are described as being
inferior to Haleth's troops in The Peoples of Middle-earth.

Númenórean armies were well trained, well armed and numerous. The strength of the army was the disciplined foot, especially archers with the
famous hollow steel longbow shooting arrows "like a great cloud, as a rain turned to serpents or a black hail tipped with steel". The "dirnaith,
man spear head" is the only direct evidence of Tolkien using wedge other than as a literary device (ie. they consider forming wedge before
engaging the enemy). "Thangail, shield fence" is used at the disaster at Gladden Fields, where it is described as close serried back-to-back if
need be, the Orc archers have little impact on Isildur's armoured men in the formation. Isildur's Ohtar - (perhaps meaning) "soldiers" and
Roquen - "Knights" were armed with a mix of swords and spears. Artillery and slaves are included for later armies such as Ar-Pharazôn the
Golden, King-of-Kings, whose armada was described as the most powerful army seen to date. When sailing to conquer the undying lands Ar-
Pharazôn is described in Sauron Defeated as “...aboard his mighty ship Aglarrama, castle of the sea, golden and sable, and upon it the throne of
ArPharazôn was set.” Early armies such as Aldarion the Mariner were mainly marines. The somewhat arbitrary 1200 cut-off date is the
establishment of permanent Númenórean havens in Middle-earth. The note in the Unfinished Tales regarding the scarcity of the horse in
Númenórean warfare is probably intended for the early phase of expansion into Middle-earth, horseback shooting is mentioned as a popular
sport in the Unfinished Tales. Auxiliary troops are those recruited in Middle-earth and can be Harad or western types. Players may wish to
purchase large figures for the tall Ship Kings as Elendil was 7 foot 10 tall! Red, gold and black seem to have been popular military colours,
Númenórean tents are described as “blue, golden and white, as a field of tall flowers”. The Peoples of Middle-Earth mentions the ships of
captains and rulers with black sails decorated with stars, while other ships have white sails - the black sail struck terror into the hearts of the
lesser humans in Middle-earth. Airboats are included for the History of the Lord of the Rings accounts of Númenórean flying ships. If airboats
are used the army may include no mounted or venturers.

This list represents Oropher, and later Thranduil of Mirkwood, Malgalad of Lórien and similar nonNoldor or non-Beleriand exile Elves. The
Elves of Mirkwood, like earlier Laiquendi, are described as "hardy and valiant but ill equipped with armour and weapons,". Regulars are
included for standing forces or continued campaigns such as the war with Sauron, these people were only coolly responsive to Gilgalad's
authority in the last alliance. Oropher rashly attacks Sauron, and dies, without waiting for orders from Gil-galad at the siege of Barad-Dur.
Regular troops must be commanded by a regular general. No command can have both Sp and Ax or both Bd (O) and Bd (F).

Beleriand. Númenórean or Exile “auxiliary” troops may be commanded by either the Númenórean general or an Elf general or some by both.
Númenórean allies can represent Tar-Minastir who sent a great force to aid Gil-galad. No command can have both Cv and Kn. No command
can have both Bd (F) and Bd (O). No command can have both Elf Ax and Elf Sp (O). Dwarf and Sindar allies represent those people aiding
Elrond in the fight against Sauron - they can be the Dwarves led by Durin or the Loriand led by Amroth.

This list starts after the fall of Númenór in 3319, includes the last 121 years of the Second Age and ends at 420 in the Third Age, when King
Ostoher rebuilds Minas Arnor. This army forms part of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men to defeat Sauron. I have assumed the regular forces
continued Númenórean military organisation and tactics and that the use of bows and high-quality armour declines over the years. Ohtar must
outnumber marines. "Auxiliary" troops must not outnumber regular troops.

This list includes the non-Edain related men of Eriador largely before the establishment of Númenórean realms in exile. They are included as
the "numerous and barbarous natives of Minhiriath" or the fisher folk of the river mouths. They were often at conflict with Númenórean
expansion, later many become servants and worshippers of Sauron and were much used as guerillas by him. The men of Agar and Udul are
described in the unfinished story of Tal-Emar in The Peoples of Middle-earth. These people were not particularly civilised - Tal-Emar was
dressed in loin cloth and a little cloak of fur while he carries a casting stone in a pouch. His people knew nothing of bows. The story also
mentions a great ambush in the Valley of Ishmalog when the people of Agar destroy a migrating Fell folk and capture their women and wains
and cattle. Tal-Emar was terrified of Númenóreans : "for the tales of the 'blades' of the Cruel Men were familiar to his childhood."

If Númenóreans exiles are used, their general can become the C-in-C, or an ally-general such as the "king's men" Herumor and Fuinur - in either
case they may command other troops as well. The Númenóreans become known as "Black Númenórean" and increasingly under direct control
of Sauron during the age. Harad is used to cover the lands south and east of Mordor especially the city of Umbar, the term includes peoples later
referred to as Southrons, Easterlings and Haradrim, as with later armies there is little information to base a list on. Khamûl, "The Shadow of the
East" "The Black Easterling" is a magic user who eventually becomes second-in-charge Nazgûl and commands the Dol Guldur garrison during
the War of the Ring. Khamûl can be the general of Númenóreans. All the warriors of a command must be the same type and grade.

Sauron as the C-in-C may command elements provided by any allied contingent and can substitute for its general. Orc archers must be
outnumbered by other Orcs. An Orc or wolf rider general can command only Orcs, wolves and wolf riders. This list is included for armies of
Sauron up to the fall of Númenor and before the Last Alliance. Sauron was successful against the human inhabitants of Middle-earth, but failed
against the might of Númenórean invasion. Regular generals are humans - possibly those given rings. Refugee Orcs are those fleeing the
destruction of Beleriand - they were "without general leadership - wellarmed, numerous, cruel, savage and reckless in assault". They were
involved in battles with Dwarves and Men in the north. Refugee orcs can also represent forces influenced, or indirectly controlled, by Sauron
during the first half of the Age. Refugee Orcs may include no more than two elements of Wolves of any type, no trolls or any humans other than
the allied contingent listed.

Orc archers must be outnumbered by other Orcs, an Orc or wolf rider general can command only Orcs, wolves and wolf riders. An Easterling
general can command Orcs up to the same number of Easterlings, but no wolves or wolf riders. A Western Barbarian general may command
only Western Barbarians. A Black Númenórean general must command all the Black Númenórean troops not commanded by Sauron. Sauron
can command any mix of troops. The army standard can be the corpse of Celebrimbor on a pole shot through with Orc arrows. Militia troops,
artillery and Barad-dûr guard are included for the siege of Barad-dûr after the defeat at Dagorlad. Regular generals are humans. Contingents are

The Dwarves of Moria are at their height in the Second Age as their nation is bolstered by refugees from the ruin of the great Dwarf cities in
Beleriand, they are strong enough to defy Sauron in their own right. The establishment of the Elvish Kingdom in Eregion benefits the Dwarves
with an infusion of new ideas for machinery and craft. Lórien Elves were on good terms with Moria and take shelter there during the war with
Sauron. Moria militia represent a home defence and may not be used with allies, artillery may not be used without militia. There must be more
Dwarves than allied troops. In The Treason of Isenguard, Gimli says the three mountains above Moria was a popular Dwarvish artistic motif.
Dwarves were great road builders - the Great Dwarf Road being preserved into the third age as the northern route from Erebor west to the sea.
Men of the Alliance were on friendly terms with the Dwarves and were employed by them as scouts - especially lightly armed and skilful riders
to surround enemy. Alliance Men may not be used with other allies. In The Peoples of Middle-earth we learn that the Goblin capital of Mount
Gunderbad was originally the Dwarf Capital of Mount Gunderbad and that it was lost and re-taken several times during the Second Age.

small villages - they can be seen as forefathers of the Third Age Northmen. The men were lightly armed with bows and noted as skilful riders
and scouts. The Alliance was broken after Sauron successfully over-runs much of the West and marshals the orcs to assault Moria and take
Gunderbad. The men of the Alliance are scattered following war with the combined forces of Orcs and savage tribesmen of the East.

Human allies can represent the defence of Erebor or Dale against Smaug or during the War of the Ring when Brand and Dáin Ironfoot fight a
three-day battle against Sauron’s Easterling allies. The human allies could be doubled and used as a list in their own right to represent Bardings
of Dale, who by the time of the War of the Ring had expanded their realm far to the south and east of Esgaroth. The Bd (F) general represents
Thorin Oakenshield at the Battle of Azanulbizar fighting with axe and improvised oak tree branch. The Peoples of Middle-earth mentions
Thorin thereafter using an undecorated oak shield, without colour or device, in memory of acquired name - suggesting that it was usual for
Dwarves to have such decorated shields. The friendly birds and beasts are included for the Kingdom of Thrór in Erebor before the destruction
by Smaug. No Moria army may be used after 1980 when Durin VI is slain by the Balrog.

This list ends with the Battle of Five Armies and represents Goblins acting under their own monarchy while Sauron recovers his strength during
the Third Age. The descriptions of the orc types involved in the capture of two younger Hobbits in The Lord of the Rings suggests some Orcs
were still not operating under Sauron's direct control but were still on friendly enough terms with both Mordor and Isenguard. Regulars
represent standing garrison units during an extended conflict such as the Dwarf-Goblin war (Third Age 2793-2800). Non-guard regulars may
not be used with foreign ally-generals. Artillery is suggested in The Hobbit where the Goblins are described as "loving machines and devices
that can kill many people at once" they would presumably have been used in the Dwarf-Goblin War. Artillery can not be used with foreign
allied contingents. Wolf riders may be commanded by a wolf general of an allied command. Trolls are assumed to have gone on raids with
Goblin forces. Trolls may not be used with more than four wolf riders, a Goblin bodyguard or regulars. Minima marked * apply only if any
bats are used. Regular troops must be commanded by regular generals.

This list is included to represent major raiding parties of wolves, if raiding in concert with Goblins the wolves would usually be junior partners.
White Wolves of the great winter of 2911 are included for their raid on the Shire as recalled in The Treason of Isenguard. Goblins may not be
used with Snow Wolves. Snow Trolls may have been apocryphal - but Helm Hammerhand was likened to one - so they have been included for
variety.

Exactly how large Tolkien's Eagles were and how best to classify them is difficult. In The Hobbit they are uneasy about the Woodmen's bows
and prefer to raid stealthily, at The Battle of the Five Armies they pick off Goblins, so skirmishers seem the best option. The illustration of
Bilbo in the eyrie next to one eagle suggests the eagle stands between three and four metres tall.

After about 2570 dragons multiply in the Withered Heath and Grey Mountains before intensifying their assault on Dwarf strongholds in search
of loot. Not all dragons could fly - Scatha the Worm was one such, similarly cold drakes may not have breathed fire (unless Tolkien meant they
emanated cold rather than flames?), Dáin I was slain by a cold drake. Tolkien's paintings of dragons has Glaurung with a grey or olive head and
a yellow-to-orange body while his other wingless dragons are painted in green shades.

This list ends for Arnor with the death of Eärnedur and the division of Arnor into the three states of
Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur. The 830 end date for Gondor represents the founding of the line of Ship-kings of Gondor by Falastur. The
Dúnedain decline steadily during the Third Age after the fall of Númenor. I have assumed the armoured infantry archers dominant in earlier
armies are now only a remnant troop type. I have retained the earlier names for infantry. No army can use both Cv (S) and Kn (F).

Gondor reaches the height of its power by about 1200 with the Ship Kings dominating the east and extending borders to the north, the list ends

This list covers the Northmen and the Kingdom of Rhovanion founded by Vidugavia at about 1240. Rhovanion allies of Gondor are noted for
their "fearless spirit of the Northmen" and proud horses. The Lake-men of Esgaroth are presumably remnants of the Rhovanion kingdom
defeated by the Wainriders at about 1850. Mairhwini's outlaws spearheaded the revolt against the Wainriders - an outlaw general can command
only irregular foot. The notes to the Lord of the Rings mention Vidugavia being the most powerful of the Northern princes - hence the option to
have an ally-general representing a small friendly princedom. The Unfinished Tales mentions the once powerful Northmen confederation.
Frumgar was the chieftain who led his people to Éothéod, his son, Fram, slew Scatha the great Dragon. Fram’s grandson was Eorl the Young
who became the first ruler of Rohan. Eorl can ride Felaróf the famous white horse. Eorl's army at the Battle of Celebrant can include the twin
sons of Elrond, as mentioned in the Peoples of Middle-earth, they were clad all in grey charging in a leading element having arrived
mysteriously at the battle (and also left mysteriously after the victory). The 2569 end date is Brego’s founding of the Golden Hall. Éowyn, in
the War of The Ring, tells how women once rode to battle in an early army.

This list covers the armies of the Witch-king in his northern realm but not when he returns to lead forces of Mordor 25 years after the fall of
Angmar or 470 years later when he captures Osgiliath for Mordor or a further 640 years later when he again takes the field for Mordor during
the War of the Ring. The Kingdom of Angmar is founded with the collapse of the small nations of the Dúnedain toward the middle of the Third
Age. Evil Hill-men in secret league with the Witch-king usurp the rule of Rhudaur by 1340 and may have formed the backbone of his armies,
few other Angmar troops are mentioned. At the defeat at the Battle of Fornost the Witch-king's army of Men and Orcs flees suffering great loss
at the hands of pursuing enemy cavalry. Trolls are later recorded in the area controlled by the Witch-king. An Orc general can control only
Orcs and wolves, a Hill-man sub-general can control remnant Rhudaur troops as well as, or instead of his own but no other troops - the Witch-
28
king may control any mix of troops. Regular generals are humans, regular sub-generals can command any mix of humans. Evil spirits are
undead. Different grades of Bd may not give rear support. Remnant Rhudaur troops may not be used with a Rhudaur allied contingent.

The Wainriders were a serious threat to Gondor during the Third Age, they killed several rulers of Gondor in battle and defeated their field
armies. Chariots are a construction based on what little evidence there is (ie. none), the size of crew and number of horses is conjectural, (in
historical parallels centralised governments often develop four-horse chariots, many other groups retained two-horse). There seem to have been
two broad groups of Wainriders; the northern group based upon the collapsed Kingdom of Rhovanion, and a southern group that migrated
through lands often associated with Mordor. However, before the Battle of the Camps the southern group had been bolstered by fresh
reinforcements including men of Khand. The slaves of the northern group represent the repressed population of Rhovanion, they end up
revolting at the first encouragement from Gondor. Armed females are fierce defenders of the wagons along with their menfolk, they may also be
in lesser numbers among other troops. No army can have both TF and WWg. All the chariots in the army must be the same type and grade.

The Balchoth (mighty horde) were probably the last wave of invading people related to the Wainriders, they were "rudely armed but numerous"

Tactical units of the Rohan known as Éoreds are described variously as tactical formations or organisational divisions, whether these should be
regular or irregular may depend on their present state of preparedness for war. The Unfinished Tales mentions a nominal army strength of 100
Éoreds of 120 men each. All able-bodied men were trained in arms to fight from a horse if they could afford one, however, only small standing
forces existed outside times of peril. Scouts are mentioned in Théoden's company travelling to Gondor and in the notes to the Lord of the Rings.
Companies of mounted archers support Eorl and Théodred. Dismounted troops figure in the Battle of the Fords, they are able to resist their
Dunlending enemy due to superior training and Gondor-supplied armour. Riders were dismounted to stiffen the foot. Infantry may have been
common in the poorer and more mountainous Westfold. Théoden's guard are called Knights and may fit the Reg Kn category better than
ordinary riders, this will give them an appropriate punch. It is uncertain whether the bow was used in addition to a lance by the same man or, if
indeed, it was used in formal battles by ordinary Éoreds. Western Drúedain are recorded in The Unfinished Tales sallying from their caves to
attack Saruman's stragglers after the Battle of the Fords. The army of Wulf son of Freca as pretender to the throne of Rohan is included for
action during the Civil War. His support came from the west of the nation and he was able to rally Dunlanders to his cause. Wulf’s initial
success can be attributed, in part, to co-operation with one of the three fleets of Corsairs invading Gondor in a combined assault (they sailed up
the Isen). The Royalists can include Helm Hammerhand's desperate Civil War during the great winter and his son's final expulsion of the
pretender, this was eventually achieved with the assistance of troops from Gondor. Helm Hammerhand as Wb fights barehanded, "like a great
Snow troll dressed in all white"; he or his Wb companions cannot be used with Gondor allies. The winter of 2758 was especially hard on the
horses and cattle of Rohan and much of the fighting was over fortified strongholds. Riders may always dismount when the C-in-C is aware of
any friendly command currently demoralised or when the C-in-C is aware of an enemy flank march. Riders must dismount as the troop type and
grade of “dismounted riders” if any are present otherwise as either all Bd (O) or all Sp (S). Dismounted riders must be all Bd or all Sp.

Notional command at the Battle of Five Armies was exercised jointly between the eminent persons present; with Thorin, Dáin, Thranduil, Bard
and Gandalf there was plenty of talent available. Generals which are not single-element commands must, if present, command all troops of their
own race. The Elf King rides to and from battle, similarly messengers and scouts are mentioned but their form is uncertain, the Elf blades wield
a "sword gleaming with a chill flame". Dáin's Dwarves' armour may qualify as Bd (S), the troop scale has been stretched a little for Dáin’s small
31
force. A single-element Dwarf command can represent Thorin, his retainers and perhaps include Elves and Men coming to his rescue. Eagles
and Beorn are not compulsory as they could have arrived after the battle was resolved. Lake-men seemed to have had a standing militia as they
form into companies when attacked by Smaug, hence the optional regular status. The total of Men and Dwarves must not exceed the total of
Elves. If Gandalf is not used as the C-in-C one of the other non-eagle generals becomes the C-in-C. If Gandalf is used he can substitute for one
non-eagle command’s general. If no Dwarf general* is used they become part of the Lake-men command. Dwarves and Men may not rear-
support each other. Beorn can be part of any command. No more than one element of Human Bw (S) can be used.

This list represents Gondor during the latter stages of the Third Age. The list starts with the loss of Osgiliath to the Witch-king and his new
model army and includes conflicts with the Balchoth, Corsairs of Umbar, Harad, and Sauron in the War of the Ring. “Gondor” foot can
represent any standing garrison troops such as those at Minas Tirith, Dol Amroth or other strongholds. Irregular foot must not outnumber
regular foot. Foot must outnumber mounted and the total of Bw and Ps (O) must be outnumbered by other foot. There may be no more than
two elements of Gondor Kn including generals. A Rohan general is assumed to be sufficiently loyal to class as a sub-general, and if regular, for
PIP dice allocation, he may also command Gondor cavalry. Choose Rohan items from the main list not the Civil war or other options.
Oathbreakers must be commanded by their own general or the C-in-C subsitituting for their general - such a C-in-C can command other troops.

The Uruk-hai were a reliable force or considerable esprit de corps, they are described as heavily armed and trained to move quickly, hence the
loose order classifications. Black Uruks with axes form an elite company at the Battle of The Fords of Isen where they fight to the last man.
Messengers reaching Théoden before Helm’s Deep describe Saruman as having armed the "wild hillmen and herd folk of Dunland beyond the
rivers" hence the two cultural groups. The Northern Goblins represent Orcs fighting for Saruman in hope of loot or payment. Wolves may not
have all been ridden, wolf riders shoot arrows at Théoden’s vanguard before fleeing prior to the battle at Helm’s Deep. The notes to the Battle
of the Fords of Isen in the Unfinished Tales provide evidence for Wolves being light troops, they are unwilling to fight formed bodies of troops
unless in desperate situations, but are much used for scouting and attacking stray groups of men. Saruman's wolves may have been permanently
housed in his dens and are thus given the option to be regular. Blasting fire from Orthanc was used with success at Helm’s Deep. Dunland
cavalry are compulsory if pikemen are used, as are trenches, trenches may not be used without pikemen. Human sub-generals can command
only humans. Dunlanders marked* or Wild hill-men marked** can be all ignored if an allied contingent is provided in each case - Saruman can
substitute for the ally-general and command other troops as well.

The Corsairs of Umbar were a constant menace for Gondor throughout the Third Age. A Black
Númenórean ally can become the C-in-C and command other troops in addition to his own. The Black Númenóreans decline during the Third
Age following the overthrow of Sauron, however, even when mingled with the lesser men of the area they proved a match for Gondor. A
Gondor rebel can represent Angamaitë and Sangahyando, “sons” of Castamir, in an attempt to invade Gondor. The Gondor rebel general can
command troops from the main list or can substitute for the C-in-C - he must command all the Gondor troops. In the Lord of the Rings the
Corsair fleet is described as: “50 great ships and small vessels beyond count”, and later as “Dromunds, and ships of great draught with may
oars’. Which could imply a range of possible DBM classifications. Tolkien gives us no descriptions of naval combat to clarify whether Third
Age vessels were built to ram each other. The 2750 date represents the presumed marshalling of the three great fleets that assail Gondor during
the 19th Stewardship. Allied contingents provided from this list may include naval.

Harad allies List 3:22 Harad 0-2 contingents of any nation
This list covers all the human nations of the east and south who fight for Sauron. At times Tolkien uses the terms Corsair; Harad, Rhûn, Khand,
Southron and Easterling almost interchangeably. I have differentiated between them by emphasising the Corsairs as loose foot for ship-board
operations, "Haradrim" make use of cavalry and later mûmakil whilst Southrons tend to regular forces. Different petty kingdoms can be allied
together to produce a composite force with one becoming the senior partner providing the C-in-C and the others allied contingents. Bowmen
upon horse and chariots represent Frodo’s vision of migrating nations seen from Amon Hen in the Treason of Isenguard. Southrons in scarlet
are "bold men and grim" and fight on when all is lost at Pelennor and Cormallen. Rhûn are mentioned with red and black banners. Far Harad are
"black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tongues". The Wb classification for Far Harad can represent troops in armour or the
36
possibility such troops were, like those at Pelennor, literally a half-troll breed. The archaic Minifigs ME 31 Troll figure is a good basis for
figure converters who favour the half-troll theory. Haradrim use mûmakil during the War of the Ring but are not recorded using them in the
great wars with Gondor during the Third Age. There is no need to make mûmakil more powerful than DBM elephants - all the mûmakil at the
siege of Gondor are slain by archers and artillery. No nationality may have more mûmakil elements than Cv elements.

Labour mûmakil are included to represent those beasts at the siege of Minas Tirith which are used to pull siege engines. Sauron Defeated notes
Sauron’s allies fielding 50 mûmakil. There must be more irregular Orcs than the total of other foot. An Orc or Uruk-hai general may command
only Orcs, Trolls Wolves and Uruk-hai, Nazgûl may command any mix of troops. No army can have both Flyers and Dragons. WWg may not
outnumber Art. Allied contingents can provide non-compulsory troops from their respective lists and have the loyalty and PIP dice swapping
capacity of sub-generals. A Haradrim mûmakil-mounted general may not be used unless the army also has a Haradrim Cv-mounted general.
The Troops of up to any four human allied contingents can be grouped under the generalship of a Black Rider, Nazgûl or Black Lieutenant who
can also command other troops. The Anórian invasion army represents the force sent into the region, presumably to block Rohan intervention in
38
the siege of Minas Tirith, the Orcs and Easterlings build a ditch and use stakes to defend their position on the road to Rohan. The army is
destroyed by Treebeard and mopped up by the Rohan force commanded by Elfhelm to protect Minas Tirith after the Battle of the Pelennor
Fields. At least one Easterling contingent must be used with such an army. The Mordor Home Defence can represent the army at the Battle of
Cormallen or as a Barad-dûr force for campaigns. Corsairs may not be used with this army. The Ps (O) Orcs are based on those hunting Gollum
in Mordor, the equipment of bow and spear may have been standard for many Orcs. The Black Lieutenant of Barad-dûr is the mouth of Sauron.
Shelob would probably have avoided open battle but has been included for campaigns and players who can’t resist the option. The Orc cavalry
is included for the possibility that the riders pursuing the Hobbits in Mordor may have been part of a cavalry garrison at Minas Morgul or Kirith
Ungol. In The War of The Ring one Orc is quoted: "...curse you Dushgoi (Morgul) horseboys..." to a colleague. The Dol Guldur Army can be
led by the now ringwraith, Khamûl, in the three unsuccessfully assaults on Lórien and can also be used to represent the forces defeated by
Thranduil in the Battle under the Trees. The Bd (S) of the Moria Garrison represent Black Uruks in "black armour from head to foot". The
Ithilien Uruks army represents the “Black Uruks of great strength" who appear in Mordor about 2475 and overrun Ithilien before capturing
Osgiliath. Non- sneaker Evil spirits of Morgul are undead. Nazgûl on winged beasts can always "dismount" as LH (S) in the same way as
Airboats land troops. The riderless beast counts as baggage if attacked or the player wishes to move it (but not for losses) - however it need not
accompany the LH and is not removed if the LH becomes separated.

Hobbits were not warlike but could organise in times of danger such as Bullroarer Took versus Golfimbul’s Orcs at the Battle of Greenfields in
2747, defending against the White Wolves' raid in the Fell Winter of 2911 or against Sharkey’s thugs. They also claimed to have sent archers to
help fight against the Witch-king. Bree troops may not be used with Took or Bucklanders. Elves and Rangers represent Wandering Companies
39
of Elves such as Gildor's or patrolling forces detailed by Aragorn or Elrond - they could start the game in ambush to simulate Hobbits’ ignorance
of the outside world. Sauron Defeated lists Hobbits armed with: “...sticks, staves, knives, pitchforks, and mattocks and axes and scythes.” The
prologue to The Lord Of The Rings mentions “The Thain, master of the Shire-moot, Captain of the Shiremuster and the Hobbitry-in-arms”.
Elves, Rangers, Bree troops and Bombadil must be in different commands.
End notes.
No attempt has been made to provide a full list for the Good forces at the War of Wrath. If you wish to refight the battles mentioned in the Last
Road; use list 1:14 Later Noldor and up to 4 Valar, or Sons of the Gods counting as generals, fighting as Demons (S) that are not destroyed by
enemy generals scoring greater in close combat. Count Morgoth's forces as list 1:19 Unnumbered Tears, count Morgoth himself as a Son of the
Gods, C-in-C.
I have included information from the history of the Lord of the Rings Vol 1-12 I have not included information from the excerpts that greatly
conflict Tolkien's final concept of events or descriptions - the choice of what to leave out has necessarily been subjective. Not included in these
lists are Balrog cavalry, Ents and Elves at the Battle of Pelennor or goblin "guns" as mentioned in The Hobbit. No rules have been offered for
Sauron's artificial darkness - campaign umpires may wish to count it as negating daylight and dissipating when the first evil command becomes
demoralised.
Rings
Players wishing to include Rings as Artefacts in their games might consider the One Ring as an Artefact (P,A,R) at 22 plus twice base AP. The
Ring of Fire could be costed at 22AP and the wearer counts a having a permanent Rally spell about him to influence humans. The Ring of
Defence (also 22AP) allows the wearer’s army to choose to be the attacker or invader - but roll normal set up dice to determine weather and time
of day the ring user can then decide to defend or invade. No enemy can flank march against a user of the Ring of Defence. The wearer can cast
the Spell Fortify for one PIP rather than two. The Ring of Healing has no obvious tactical uses.
