Thanks, but I was really looking for opinions on my list/ small changes I could make.

Both lists look fairly decent to me. I'd consider putting spears on those rangers to get them helping out with combat. I would also probably find room for a banner in the 700 list but that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Not really sure why you're needing Thrain the broken, I know he's a cheap hero but a regular elf will probably be more reliable.
Unless you take Halbarad's banner, would that make him auto pass?

Yes, It's a good idea to put spears on the rangers. The obvious thing to do to do this is to drop Thrain, but I like using him because he is fun to use/ funny.

I'd really have to downgrade Gilly or the twins to erestor to get a banner, and this would give me spare points for equipment or more warriors, but I'm pretty set on using Gil-Galad and the twins this time. But I might try a list like how you suggested in the near future because it seems to have a lot of potential.
Not sure about Halbarad's banner's effect on Thrain as he doesn't have to pass it, he has to pass it on doubles. A little help here please?

I'll write the updated army lists when I get home.

The updated 750 list has been edited into the OP.

Just realised that in my 500pts list, if I take Thrain, I will be over the bow limit, so I'll either take a King's Guard or a high elf with shield. Opinions on this?

C&C for both lists please.

Thanks, LordElrond
