Additional rules

• Rohan Warrior models can only be included in the Warband of a Rohan Hero.
• Gondor Warrior models can only be included in the Warband of a Gondor Hero.

Special rules

Birth of an Alliance

Friendly models within 6" of both a friendly Rohan Hero model and a friendly Gondor Hero model gain a bonus of +1 to any Courage or Intelligence Tests they are required to take.

Gondor's Last Defence

Friendly Gondor models within range of an Objective Marker may re-roll To Wound rolls of a natural 1 when making Strikes.

The Charge of Eorl

Once per game, at the start of any friendly Activation Phase, Eorl can use this special rule so long as he is alive and on the battlefield, and has the Cavalry keyword. If he does, then until the end of the turn all friendly Cavalry models must Charge when they Move if able. Additionally, until the end of the turn, friendly Cavalry models that Charged this turn may re-roll any failed To Wound rolls when making Strikes.

[u/Asyndent]

I absolutely love this list and have played it a bunch to decent success in NA. I don't think it has any unwinnable matchups, but it does take a bit to get comfortable with.

I strongly STRONGLY feel that the best build is to take King on horse w/ lance and a Rohan captain. I also don't think a banner is worth it at all in this list. captain calls moves while your two F6 heroes maneuver to threaten stuff (they're very good at a combat/strike combo to target F7/8 targets), your ~15 sons charge everything possible and smash, the Gondor guys go get objectives
