cheers for the feedback guys - will attempt to answer some questions:

I've noticed you have 1might per 100points there
do you own all these models?
Are you intending to play with this army?
1 might per 100pts is purely coincidental, I do own all the models in that list and fully intend to play with the army on a regular basis (mostly against isengard but elves, angmar, easterlings and rohan make a showing now and again.)
Quote:
I advise you mix up your unit amongst different warbands,
yup was thinking that, this at least just made it easier to work out points/what models where being used. Will think on how to re-arrange the units.

If I were you I would swap the harad chieftain for a taskmaster
yup agree again, like the idea of a taskmaster only problem was did not own one - though might try my hand at converting one.

make some watchaers of karna warrior with spears and bows.
Why? from my experience watchers of karna are significantly better then warriors with spears and bows! better shoot value, more attacks base, better fight value, better courage vs terror, resistant to magic all for 2pt more then a warrior with spear and bow.

I Always have my daubts at gulavar, but that's personal i gues.
yeah on paper he seemed a bit meh, tried him out and he performed very well indeed - like most big monsters bit of a finesse piece you need to be careful with but in the right place can cause havok.

Eh another evil army that is basically a list that is 100pts lower than the limit with a shade tacked on just to make up for the shortcomings of the troops :/
the only shortcoming my troops have is low defence, beyond that all fight value 4, plenty of attacks (And supporting attacks) burly two handed weapons, poison ahoy and banners - they pretty much hold their own in most games without the aid of a shade.

Serpent Guard are the ultimate spear-support for Abrakhan Guard. It gives them the opportunity to feint without any loss of Fight value, making their Burly 2h even deadlier.
agree, being fight value 4 with poison even in support is decent for 1pt. (doubly so since the betrayer might be around to boost the poison some more.) Serpent guard definetly have their place - in fact sometimes use them to guard the watchers and my opponents get very surprised just how nasty that unit is in combat (2 attacks from watchers, 1 supporting attack, banner from golden king and usually the shade nearby.)
