Sounds like a heck of a lot of fun! How did all those lists you played against fair? It blows my mind a bit how small the armies are.
What made that Rohan list so good? I don't build my lists with that few troops, but I've never played in a tournament either.
The spider list went 1-1-1
The Elf list 1 win 2 losses
The Fiefdoms list went 1 win 2 losses
Okay, so because the rohan list is small it means the maximum amount of guys are going to take advantage of Theodens rules. Namely the 12 inch stand fast and the 12 inch +1 fight value on the charge. Erkenbrand means everyone is courage 5 at least and the characters are all courage 7 or 6 Theodred and Eomer give the list big hitting power, and finally you have the sauce that keeps it all together. Gamling. Gamlings banner means that any character within 3 of the banner with no might remaining at the beginning of the turn gets a point of might back. There is no limit on how many characters get the might. This means the army can call 4 or 5 heroic actions every turn for the entire game.
