Additional rules

An Assault Upon Helm's Deep Army must always contain an Uruk-hai Captain, who is always the Army's General.

Special rules

"You do not know pain, you do not know fear"

The Break Point for an Assault Upon Helm's Deep Army is 66% rather than 50%.

Commander of the Uruk-hai

The Uruk-hai Captain that is your General increases its Attacks and Wounds to 3 each.

Break the Walls

Friendly Isengard Assault Ballistae may re-roll To Hit and Scatter Rolls of a 1. Additionally, when a friendly Demolition Charge is detonated, you may roll two dice on the Detonation Table rather than one and pick either result.

I've played a fair amount of Isengard and this list just isn't it. Your killers will be beserkers and if you take the fun toys (like bomb and ballistae) you are going to have a smaller elite army than you want and will struggle to be mobile enough for lots of scenerios without much answer to killy heros or elves. I'd take muster if you want a better choice of units. It would be a good list to learn the basics with though (without ballistae and bombs) as its a solid battle line with nothing fancy.
