MORDOR BATTLEHOSTS
The Decree of Rarity does not apply to battlehosts, neither counting Rares or Commons taken.
When allies are included in a battlehost, they do not count towards the Decree of Allies.
Whenever numbers are giving in parenthesis, that is the number of companies required per formation.
Whenever rules refer to formations, they only apply to formations bought within that battlehost, and not other formations which may be in range for the effect. Mainly it saves me saying battlehost formations each time...
Gorgoroth Orc Horde - 75 points
1 Mordor Orc Warband (12-18) [Must include a Captain and Taskmaster]
* The Eye of the Master is upon us: If a 3 or less is rolled by the player for Priority, the Horde can re-roll Courage for the turn.
* Might Makes Right!: If the Captain is killed, then an ordinary member of the formation will be promoted to Captain, gaining D3 Might points. It is possible for the Horde to go through multiple Captains.
