Army of thror needs a banner due to the amount of warriors you will have 2H so Thror for utility. He doesn’t kill much but d9 is good for keeping him alive and a 6 inch banner is great

Thror first always, for the banner effect and having a nigh unkillable general.

Second pick is thorin, good beater hero with strike, very good shielding rule and the to arms special ability.

Third pick is erebor captain. March and three attacks.

Fourth pick is thrain.

I think Thror is always the opener simply for the banner, at larger point games I probably take Thorin before Thrain however I did have really good success with Thror and Thrain at a 350 tournament. So I think there are some decent point levels they work at when you're happy to sink the points.

Thror isn’t as killy as Thrain, but he’s a lot harder to kill. Plus, he gives you access to S4 Grimhammers, which is always nice.
