Will this work for a beginner to the game system?

Aragorn, Isildurs Heir-210
Elven Cloak

Halbarad- 65 points

Ranger of the North x3 - 25 points each

12 Rangers or Arnor- 102 points
6 spears

The Fiefdoms

Duinhir of Blackroot vale- 70 points

14 Blkackroot vale archers- 167 points
Banner
Warhorn

Is it viable?

I think you need non-bow-wielding warriors from the fiefdoms list in order to field the 33% bow limit for that contingent. The warriors would also be highly useful if an enemy get to melee with you as your current list would be in dire straits otherwise. I don't know the stats for the Blackroot Vale Archers but I'd guess they are not great in melee. In any scenario where you can't just stand-and-shoot or turtle along firing as you go, I can see issues occurring with movement vs effectiveness of archers.

Make sure Aragorn is mounted, with low numbers of troops you'll need him to get around the battlefield quickly

I suggest using Forlong and knights of DA instead of the blackrootvale archers

Would you have the knights of DA mounted or on foot?

on foot, they serve well as a shield wall

How many? and where would I find the rules for Forlong and the knights?

The rules for Forlong the Fat and the Knights of Dol Amroth are in the sourcebook Gondor in Flames, which is unfortunately out of print. However, you can probably get a copy off the internet if you look around. The rules for the Knights of Dol Amorth can also be found in the main rules manual (the big, hardback one).

I agree: get Aragon on a horse with armour---unless the Isildur's Heir special rules are worth it to you. Put your Rangers of the North on horse as well, and Forlong the Fat. A sprinkling of cavalry come in so handy for so many scenarios. Drop Halbarad. Blackroot Vale archers have a reroll aganst monsters, but can't have spears, if I remember... stick with your Rangers. I'd suggest:

Strider w/ armour and horse
3 RoN mounted
12 Rangers w/ spear

Forlong on Horse
15 Knights of DA on foot
12 Pikes (Men of Arms)
1 Ranger

700 points 45 units 9 (or 10?)+ might 13 bow

Or trade Aragorn for Halbarad and get another 10 units: 20 elite shields and 16 Ranger bows...
