Rivendell list seems very solid, for infantry like its all round way to go, seems decent.

Although you might want a bit changes
Elves with bow and blade seems awesome but just dont bother really, just get them spear to support the line when the enemy get into contact with your battlelines, the elves with bow who stand in the back can literally go to the front to support his mates from behind rather than sitting and wait doing nothing....


If you want numbers I would suggest taking with gildor some noldorin exiles, they are indeed light armoured but still spares you points for something else maybe..

The only problem in overall I see when this list its the lack of Might you can give, or you plan very well when to use it, or having just 3 might(1 each heroe dont seems much) :/

Try this
Rivendell army 500pts

Warband 1
Elladan and Elrohir with heavy armour
5 elven warriors with spear and shield
205

warband 2
Gildor
4 elven warriors with spear and shield
2 elven warriors with elven blade
144

Stormcaller
4 elven warriors with spear and shield
3 elven warriors with bow and spear
1 elven warrior with bow
151

total: 500pts
might: 8
models: 23
break on 12

Got less 4 models than your list and breaks on 12 rather than 14, but got 5 more might which is pretty big
You could replace gildor for arwen for being cheap 20pts, but arwen is considerable weaker although got nature wrath which is potent by itself...

what you think?

Seems a good list to be fair I like it quite a lot :) thanks I may make a change here or there but the core seems a lot better.

sacrificing 4 models for gaining 2 powerfull heroes both with 3 might and fighting styles seems huge...

The Easterling Army is solid; I tend to use kataphrakts at that point level but that's just a matter of personal taste. That army seems to have no real weak spots, from what I can see. I might swap the captain's bow for a shield though - I find higher defense is important for heroes, more than just another regular shot.

As for the Rivendell list I agree with Galanur that it lacks might - 3 isn't good for a 500 point force. It really depends what scenarios you're facing. More combat oriented scenarios would favour that list with the twins, but if there are more objective based scenarios you could use the first list and swap out one or two of the heroes for a regular captain and one or two troops.

Ok I am going with the list for easterlings thanks for saying its good ^^ (I find infantry is good enough for easterlings but in a larger army I would use cavalry).

The only thing I Changed on the riven fell list you have me galanur was a few warriors here and there :) I'm using the same Heroes but swapping equipment on some warriors here and there, that's all.
