Just wandering if the folliwing would be feasable and at least have a shot a victory

Moria Beast list

Cave Drake
Wild Wargs
Spiders

(Cave drake leader and 2 packs of 5 wargs with leadersplus a few spiders...dont know exact numbers but just wandering if this could work)

Angmar Spirit List

Shade army leader
Barrow Wights as captains
Amy of only Dead Marsh Spectres

(i would convert them all from warriors of the dead..seems like a nice ghastly list)

would either of these work...if so wich would you reccomend i go for?
ps point limit would be 500 (lets start small)

Neither list would work, but probably be fun to play with in friendly games. The Cave Drake is an independant hero,

I agree. Also the 'theme' of an all spirit list is dreadful.

I'd use multiple shamans, so you can use them in multiple contingents and flank your enemies.

The Cave drake should be for larger point battles.
But you will need some punch, a troll or two should do the trick.

Keep in mind that the wargs (in the old rules) didn't get to throw the enemy to the ground when charging.

Wargs still don't count as cavalry, and your army lacks might, which is better obtained from captains or Kings rather than shamans. Remember that if a another hero is within 6" of a shaman he pass his courage test automaticly and can use stand fast.

Why are you giving your Goblin Captain a bow and shield? One or the other would be better. Honestly, sticking with what you want to do I'd go with something more like this:

Durburz
6 Goblins with shields
6 Goblins with spears
120pts

Goblin Shaman
6 Goblins with shields
6 Goblins with spears
105pts

Goblin Captain with bow
12 Goblins with Orc bows
100pts

Warg Chieftain
5 Wild Wargs
2 Giant Spiders
4 Goblins with shields

Firstly, you need shields, either Goblin Warriors, Prowlers or Blackshields.

Secondly you cannot give a Captain a shield and an Orc bow, even if you could it would be a waste, a shield costs 5pts for a Hero not 1pt, you can literally get another Goblin Warrior for that cost.

Thirdly, you should either use Durburz, Groblog or both.

Warg Marauders can move independantlym, but in order to ield any you need a hero. All Warrior s need a hero. Since you only have 4 Warriors in Warband 3, put the Marauders in that Warband, then no lead to alter your list.

so they'd basicly be part of warband 3 but able to move independantly of said warband?

All models can move independantly of their Warband, modles in a Warband do not have to stay grouped together.

You cannot write the cost of one Warg Marauder. It il ilegal to post the pts of an individual model.

Also could you write the model count, break point, total might points and number of bows please. As long as you put the marauders in a Warband, it looks you could have a good list.
