Pretty good numbers there, and a pretty good band of archers. May struggle with more powerful heroes and monsters but otherwise looks quite nice and well rounded. Personally never got on with the Knight of the White Tower, may he bring you more fortune than I!

I would throw the knight out, and take a bit more troops. the defence 7 fountain guards are really good!

Yeah had a couple of peeps frown on the knight.
But do ya not think the might and possible. 4 wounds if the rolls go my way would be handy??

Knights of minas tirith are a killing machine indeed. Till the time the got encircled by enemy's troops. Once 2 full warbands of orcs plus fury the knight wont last for long.

The list is still effective though but personally, in 500 pts i use numbers on minas tirith, a numbered slow defensive army with lots of ranger's arrows. It's victorious most of the times.

The lances for the knights are very worthwhile - i would drop the fountain court without shield to get them the lances

maybe take 2 knights and get fountain court guys to fill numbers...
I would even say replace knight of the white tower for another cheap heroe and get more troops, unless if you really want that guy :)

Yes, cut the knight of the white tower, he isn't very reliable. Add more warriors of any kind and you will do much better.

Not a fan of the Knight of the White Tower myself. It's hard for him to use his special and beat multi - wound opponents in combat. I've never seen him do well in game. In fact last game with him my Watcher ate him shortly after arriving, so he makes a good meal but that's about it

Sorry to jump on the band wagon, but drop the Knight, give the KoMT lances, and try and max out the warbands.

The KoMT come with lances as standard. I actually like the KotWT. Team him up with a hero and go enemy hero hunting. But at this points value I agree he is somewhat uneffective.

Hey! If I were you I might drop the knight and add Damrod leading a few more models just to boost your model count. All in all looks pretty good.

Hi. I would not take out the knight but instead take out Beregond, have the Knight lead his warband, then you get Alfred. The Knights main disadvantage is his lack om might which Alfred negates. I would also put half the Tangers och half of the guards in the same warband from the start, I assume the plan is to support the guard with rangers.
Have fun.

Edit. Even if you dont change the army at all I would still put the knight in the warband and keep Beregond on his own, he works better at this in my opinion.
