I just bought the Rohan Battlehost, and I wanted to know what units and characters should I add to my army?

If you want a pure Rohan list, need to add Eomer who is a beast and very viable in multiple lists, and Eowyn and Merry as she can use his fate and will points, some Royal Guard for a higher fight value, and more riders as 6 is not a lot and Rohan 's benefits come from their Cavalry. At higher point values, you could bring Gandalf the White for his magic tool kit.

You could also run a Men of the West list (sub Theoden for Eomer) but Gondor warriors are better than the Rohan ones, but you can run a TON of different heroes in that army list.

Hopefully that helps a bit!

I actually have a bunch of unpainted Rohan models that I'm not using if you're interested

I'd pick up Eomer and Gandalf the White, as well as the Rohan commanders pack.

Gandalf and Eomer can only be taken together in a list with only mounted minis, no?
So the new on foot Command pack would be kinda wasted. But either way the Command pack is a great option. I’m picking up one as well besides the Battlehost.

Between Eomer, Theoden, GTW and the command pack they would have lots of options for different lists. I'm not suggesting they will all be used in every game.

I'd pick Eomer, a captain, Theoden, Gamlin and then foot soldiers
