Unit Analysis

Heroes

• The Necromancer of Dol Guldur: Representing Sauron during his time at Dol Guldur during the timeline of The Hobbit, the Necromancer is a 250 point single wound model, with all of the vulnerabilities that that situation entails. He has the same vulnerabilities as the Ringwraiths (one attack, has to spend will in a fight phase, disappears when no will remains) but can use his massive will stock of 25 points as fate points if needed. He redeems himself by auto-killing any multi wound models who lose combat to him and by buffing Orcs to almost the same level as warriors of Minas Tirith. A thematic and passable option, but there are better ways to spend your points, cannot do anything that two named Ringwraiths can't do

• Nazgûl of Dol Guldur:

• The Keeper of the Dungeons:

• Castellan of Dol Guldur: 40 point Ringwraiths without the spellcasting and no stand fast for allied warriors. Can be equipped with a Morgul blade and are cheap enough to be a cheap character assassin. Again, rather situational but potentially quite useful
