I'm not really 'well informed' when it comes to the likes of Easterlings etc. but from what I see it looks good! You've got a large number of warriors, bows, cavalry & might etc.

Hopefully someone with a vaster knowledge will help you out.

I think you could get a lot more benefit from Amdur and some kataphracts. You get a bit more might, Amdur is solid hero and a banner, and kataphracts are cheaper. I like the morgul knight models, and they do cause terror and have lances, but imho they're more appropriate for a different army.

Just curious, are you converting the spears? I don't think there are any models except bows that don't already have a shield.

You only have 4 might in the army which is not a lot and you also have 2 too many bows as the 33% rule applies to each faction in the army so I would drop those 2 and give the rest spears. I would also not take morgul knights, they don't pull their points' weight tbh, swap them out for a cheaper option like haradrim raiders with a chieftan or possibly suladan. Then with the spare points get a few more bodies and swap the warpriest for a budget wraith.

The Easterling spears can coun as pikes with shields so since they cost more than normal spears you might as well use them in three ranks, all with shields.

Amdur is in the Reinforcements PDF from GW's White Dwarf archive.

Looks good the only thing I would say is that with 7 Will and no Fate I don't think your ringwraith will last very long. You may want to consider getting him some more Fate/Will so that he lasts long enough to make a difference.

It only takes a few transfix's for a wraith to win the game, but i agree, he needs atleast 1 fate!

I have killed Boromir in a turn by transfix him...
That's one of the strongest magical power for the ringwraiths and it needs only 2+ :-D

Also creativ your list only adds up to 692 points, you can give your wraith a point of fate and still have a majestic 3 points left over :D
