Okay.
I would still take army one or two. I think that army two is not as good as army one. List two has two miniatures which will die if they don't have any willpoints. They're the only ones with high courage. I am very far away from being a good player, however, I would try to subwill (hope this is the right English name). I would definitely try to kill the wraiths as soon as possible. I don't want to say that this is easy but with only one wound and a limit of combats, you have to be more careful. I think that there is a high chance to face the new Galadriel; she would be very dangerous for you.
I think that list one has everything you need. In my opinion, it's not that bad if Alfrid dies because he will definitely get his points back. You could also try to change Saruman against Gandalf and Beorn against Treebeard. This would give you enough points for a horse.
I hope that helps.
I understand your concerns. It is tough having two units that disappear without will. But, the Dwimmerlaik does have 16 will, which is a decent amount considering he casts easily. Also, I will have him mobile on a horse, to keep him from combat.
As for the Knight of Umbar.....Im going to likely win a lot of combats with him on fell beast. And if you win a combat with him, he takes off no will points. He also has 3 might for winning combats and charging.
I understand Galadriel being a problem, but she will be the immediate target of both of my wraiths, especially the knight of umbar, And is she has her magic resisted, Im going to do everything in my power to surround and kill her. And with other spell casters, I will attack them too with my magic. It might be a draw, but then comes my next point.....9 half trolls....they are all fight 5, strength 5. I will likely outnumber most of my opponents. I also have a nearly unkillable troll Cheiftan with might.
The thing is, I can afford casualties, and not break easily. Even if the enemy has 2 spell casters, so do I, and then they can use magic on the Cheiftan who will likely do damage because of that. The half trolls though in this army in my idea, are like the material between bricks of a house, if you understand.
And Im not sure what you meant about a horse. I compared beorn and treebeard and I prefer Beorn every time. He has so many special rules.

Badner your post was easy to follow. The spell name in English is "Sap Will". Just wanted to help you out with that.
And you're right, the Wraiths are vulnerable in those address, but they're absolutely amazing in a support job. They weaken the enemy with Immobilize and their allies do the rest
Exactly. And the Knight of Umbar will target any soft units they have and demolish them in combat. Im going to charge and up my fight against elves and wizards and rend the life out of them.

Okay, thank you.
I definitely don't want to say that list 2 is weak. I just wrote all this things because he wanted some discussions. I think a good way to make your army better/find out which one is stronger is to make an "anti army" and think about how your army would perform. I think the best way is to play a game with army one against army two in a random scenario (you can use a d10). Maybe we can try to create a "anti army" for army one so LordoftheBrownRing can have some test games.
The "problem" is that a all of the armys are quite strong. The only way to find the best for LordoftheBrownRing is if he tests the armys. Because on the paper one army can be as good as you want, he also has to feel comfortable with the army.
I think the best thing would be: LordoftheBrownRing plays some games and tells use his thoughts about the armys. After that we can help him much better.
Edit: I had an other idea. At this tournament, you don't deploy close to each other, don't you? So why don't you take a trebuchet, a bolt thrower, a catapult or a siege bow? Because ( if I understand the rules in the right way) they kill a miniature just by causing one wound. At this tournament, you will play against a lot of all hero armys, so you simply place it at the end of your table and shoot at the heroes or, even better, at trolls.
I appreciate the thoughts!
I agree whole heartedly that I need to test these. Unfortunately, I may only be able to get in 3-5 games before the tournament. But I will test vigorously.
As for siege weapons.....Ive practiced and dont trust them. Also I own none hahaha. Thanks though
