While as fast as most cavalry, they do not have the overrun ability associated with that type of troop. Dire Wolves - The shock troops and raiders of Angmar, Dire Wolves are abnormally large members of their species.
They are the more advanced pikemen of Angmar, who are a threat to evenmy cavalry, and unlike the Hillmen, they can be upgraded, and know the porcupine formation. Hill-Trolls - Hill trolls inhabit the hills and swamps of the North.Even though they are considered calvary, most pikemen have troubles taking down Snow trolls due to their large health and damage output. Because of their size and speed they serve the purpose of the main cavalry unit of Angmar. They wear fur wraps to insulate against the cold, and carry picks and shields. They are not as big as their southern relatives (the Cave and Mountain trolls), but they are faster and smarter.
Snow Troll - Snow trolls are native to the frozen northern wastelands taken over by Angmar, and now obey the Witch-king. Dark Rangers wear the iron masks of the Black Númenórean and leather armor. Dark Rangers - The core ranged unit for Angmar. They are summoned by their respective power, a Thrall Master (Special Missions), and by killing units with a Morgul-blade/Morgul corruption or the Well of Souls. They are not overly powerful or have much health, but they can heal themselves when killing units based on the damage. They can also gain the Black Mask passive debuff upon gaining enough experience, which reduces any hostile infantries attack and defense by 25%. They wield giant two-handed swords and have larger health pools than the Uruk-hai and dwarven infantry. Black Númenóreans - The core Angmar elite infantry unit, composed of Black Númenórean Men clad in splinted armor and wearing fearsome iron masks. Barrow-wights (Special Missions only) - See below for details. Mountain Giants (Special Missions only).

Gundabad Warriors - Gundabad Orcs live far from Mordor, but they are just as bloodthirsty and savage as their southern brethren. Rhudaur Axemen - Axe-throwing Hillmen with short range. Due to their low level of training they do NOT get the Porcupine formation. They wield spears to take down enemy cavalry. Rhudaur Spearmen - The Rhudaur Hillmen are wild Men made savage by the cold and hardship of life in the far north. This is why the Thrall Master always remains in the back of the battalion for protection. You should also beware that if the Thrall Master is killed in action, the entire battalion dies as well. Thrall Masters and their thralls can not be upgraded with armor or weapon upgrades. You can only summon one type of unit battalion per Thrall Master. These thrall units are extremely weak but can serve as the first line of defense against a variety of enemy unit types. Thrall Master - A Black Númenorean emissary who can summon and command a horde of Orc or Hill-men class thralls in the service of the Witch-king. They also have mixed units, similar to Mordor, combining expendable units with elite infantry and heavy support units. The Angmar faction can be thought of as the evil counterpart to Dwarven faction The Battle for Middle-earth II they are strong and sturdy, but slow. In the campaign, the player must dominate the land of Angmar, gather a huge army, and then launch a massive invasion that will span half a millennium in Middle-earth's history. The Rise of the Witch-king tells the story of the evil Witch-king’s rise to power, domination of Angmar and invasion of the great kingdom of Arnor. After the Great Plague in 1636 which devastates Gondor and desolates many parts of Eriador, the southern part of Arnor, the Witch-king finally destroys Fornost, and takes it as his own fortress. The tower of Amon Sûl is destroyed, but the great fortress of Fornost is defended, and war continues. The Witch-king settled in Angmar, and after having built an army there, invades Arnor in the year 1409, and waged a 500-year war against the kingdom of Arnor, the north-kingdom of Men. In the year 1300 of the Third Age, evil things started to stir in Middle-Earth again, and the Nazgul re-appeared. After a thousand years of peace that followed the War of the Last Alliance, evil once more began to spread across Middle-earth.
