So here is my army lists... I am plannign to use them in tournaments... Any advice would be great.
Good
Aragorn king Elessar 260p.
Faramir with heavy armour and horse 85p.
10 warrior of Minas tirith with shield 80p.
8 warrior of Minas tirith with shield and spears 72p.
8 warrior of mians tirith with bow 64p.
6 riders of minas tirith 84p.

2 Rangers of the north with spears 52p.


697 points, 36 models, 8 might and a free one each turn
Maybe should I swap Aragorn for Boromir of the white tower and also get more numbers?

Evil
Easterling captain with armoured horse and shield 70p.
16 easterlings with bows 128p.
24 Easterlings with shields 192p.
8 easterlings with spear and shields 72p.
Easterling warrior with banner 32p.

Dark marshal with horse 130p.

Barrow wight 50p.

686p, 52 models, 4 might

That's it...

Aragorn isn't too great in an army, he is much more useful in scenarios and whatnot. Your good list has way too few models. If you plan on doing tournament play then i would choose madril over faramir, get about 60 or so men, then ally in whatever hero you can to be your "brawler" you have the right idea about allying in RoTn for cheap might tho :) I personally wouldn't bother with the knights if you only want to use 6, but i understnad alot of people are fond of using small amounts of knights.

As for evil list: The barrow wight is not needed, i commend you for choosing dark marshall over shadowlord tho :) Your numbers are still too few, drop the barrow wight, upgrade the captain into a dragon knight, upgrade the banner into a war priest/drop the banner for numbers.

I personally would take the following:

Khamul on horse
Easterling war priest
60 easterlings (10 bow and spear, 10 bow, 20 shield, 20 spear and shield)

The logic behind this is to have the easterlings take whatever the enemy throws at them, there are so many of them and they have high defence+fury so casualties should be limited, if you come across any annoying defence 9 dwarf heroes, you can have the priest boost khamuls strength (and then have khamul boost it himself too)

Another potential evil list:

Khamul
2 harad taskamsters
maximum amount of easterling warriors

This list is pretty straightforward, you just "out-might" the enemy with the taskmasters. Khamul can boost his rolls alot, and constantly fight with strength 6 because the chances are, he will always kill two enemies in combat thanks to all of his free might.

Your Good list really needs more models. At 700pts you should normally have over sixty models for Gondor. I'd swap Aragorn for Boromir, like you suggested, and I'd also be tempted to drop the two Rangers of the North as well. If you are going to include them, you might as well take eight Rangers of Arnor with them.

Do you have any mounted Khand models (as mercenaries) to use in sinc with your Easterlings?

If there are so few models available over there how does a tourney work. Also I'm sure there are independant stockists who will ship to you :)

Ps: You could proxy a standard ranger as madril etc

1) Because metal will be repalced few metal remains until they run out of stock... Our shops get everything from Uk and they only minis that are left will stay until soemone buys them... Epext of them only CF and plastic minis can eb found... The only other change is to buy the old metal figures from someone... So enw players will have a promblem here with few heroes aniavable until they come out on CF.
2) It is not allowed in tournaments in our country... Models can only be what they are, expect conversions...
3) i don't have Khand althought I can possible buy :)

The King's are good, they can only ride chariots though, not horses, unless you mean mtd chftn, in which case, let it be a mercenary.

I didn't realise that Angmar could ally with Easterlings. A barrow-wight would still be lonely.

still too few easterlings, get rid of a captain, and the banner (you already have dm's banner), and get more men, allying in the khand chief to lead your cavalry isn't a half bad idea..

Yet again i highly recommend swapping the dm for khamul. Khamul can lead the easterlings, which means you can spend more points on warriors, and the banner of the dm isn't really important for easterlings who can fight with 3 attacks thanks to spears...

In tourney's you can proxy any ringwraith to be another, so no worries. Also you can order him from abroad.
